Description:

The Danish Environmental Technology Verification program (DANETV) Water Test Centre operated by DHI, is supported by the Danish Ministry for Science, Technology and Innovation. DANETV, the United States Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Technology Verification Program’s Advanced Monitoring Systems (U.S. EPA ETV AMS) Center operated by Battelle (Battelle AMS Center) under a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. EPA, and Ontario Centre for Environmental Technology Advancement (OCETA) through ETV Canada which operates the Canadian ETV Program on behalf of Environment Canada are jointly verifying the HACH-LANGE GmbH water toxicity technologies named LUMIStox 300 Bench Top Luminometer and ECLOX Handheld Luminometer. The purpose of this verification is to evaluate the performance of a wastewater rapid toxicity technology that could be used to monitor industrial or domestic wastewater. The verification protocol covers two products from the same vendor, both are acute toxicity tests with luminescent bacteria. In the bioluminescence testing with LUMIStox and ECLOX, a strain of naturally occurring luminescent bacteria, Vibrio fischeri, is used.
