IMD-Water
The IMD-W can operate as either an in-line or benchtop microbial detection system. The IMD-W’s 405 nm laser intersects the water flow path. Particles within the flow path are determined to be inert or biological, based on the presence or absence of autofluorescence. The IMD-W system’s signal processing algorithm discriminates a biological particle by using three different signals.
