Dialyseguard

Dialyseguard – Microbiological online monitoring of process water in dialysis circuits.

A new method will enable the automated and continuous online detection of bacteria in dialysis water as a rapid analysis. This system would represent a significant improvement on the conventional random sampling of dialysis water, as it would be faster, more sensitive and cheaper. In contrast to the cultivation-based detection method used to date for bacteria, this method could also be used to detect living but not culturable bacteria (VBNC).
