What does Bactiquick measure?
Bactiquick measures endotoxin associated with Gram-negative bacteria and provides Real Time field results in just 15 minutes. This helps teams make informed frontline decisions and identify when an adverse result warrants further investigation or laboratory confirmation.
It provides a bacterial-risk signal, not a direct E. coli count. Explore the science and evidence.
