ABOUT US :<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GL Biocontrol develops innovative microbiological monitoring kits that help water utilities, laboratories, and industrial operators ensure safe and high-quality drinking water. With over ten years of experience in rapid microbiological diagnostics, we design next-generation ATP-metry tests that support fast, reliable decisions directly in the field or in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our core solution is a highly sensitive ATP rapid test specifically optimized for drinking water. By filtering a large 50 ml sample, the method provides the sensitivity needed for low-biomass waters and offers an immediate, clear view of microbial activity across treatment plants, storage zones, and distribution networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 600 public municipalities across Europe, as well as major private water operators, use our ATP-metry technology for routine monitoring and rapid troubleshooting. Its fast adoption demonstrates its reliability and operational value for day-to-day water-quality management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results are delivered in just a few minutes, enabling teams to act quickly without waiting for culture-based methods. This supports faster diagnostics, more responsive operations, and earlier detection of changes in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our rapid tests are supported by a dedicated mobile application that guides operators step-by-step, secures data, and generates standardized reports. The app also includes features for Water Safety Plans (WSPs), helping users document hazards, monitor control measures, and track microbiological trends with consistent traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining high-sensitivity ATP detection, practical field workflows, and intuitive digital tools, our solution provides a modern alternative to traditional microbiological methods. We will be pleased to offer on-site demonstrations during the event, allowing visitors to discover the technology firsthand and experience how it can support operational control, compliance, and the delivery of safe drinking water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The complete ATP test kit comes in a compact field case containing a luminometer, filters, syringes, water sampling containers, a tube holder and reagent. All essentials are included to perform a full test in less than 3 minutes directly in the field or in the laboratory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our test protocol is designed for simplicity and can be performed directly in the field, even by operators without laboratory experience. The workflow starts with collecting a 50 ml water sample in a syringe. The sample is then filtered to capture the microorganisms on the filter. A reagent is added to release the ATP, and the resulting extract is transferred into our Lumitube for measurement with the luminometer. A standard is included to verify the reaction and ensure accurate quantification. All reagents can be stored for one year in the refrigerator or for three months at room temperature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our ATP kit includes a mobile app that makes reporting ATP test results easy, whether in the field or in the laboratory. It also provides automated result interpretation and records key drinking-water parameters such as chlorine, temperature, turbidity, etc. Over time, it offers a clear view of trends and control points, making it an ideal tool to support drinking-water network quality monitoring within \u201cWater Safety Plans\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
