IDEXX Tecta – Automated Water Microbiology: Results from 2 Hours | Supplied by 2H in Vietnam
Overview
IDEXX Tecta is a “lab-in-a-box” platform for E. coli and total coliform testing at the bench or in the field. It automates incubation and analysis, continuously monitors samples, and emails results so labs can operate 24/7 without on-call readbacks.
About the IDEXX Tecta System
Positive results can be reported in as little as ~2 hours (contamination-dependent), while negatives are confirmed in 18 or 24 hours per test type. The method is U.S. EPA-approved for drinking water. “Test anywhere” installation reduces sample transit time and speeds public-health response.
