AQUASAFE®
WSL20
Emergency portable
drinking water laboratory
The Aquasafe® WSL20 is the perfect solution for testing drinking water quality
in an emergency response scenario. Its low cost, lightweight and simple testing
methods ensure understanding of a water quality situation fast.
Its balanced top positioned handle, shoulder
strap and single user operation also make
it a great tool for non-emergency remote
deployment where water quality data is
difficult to collect.

Contains a powerful single chamber digital

microbiological incubator, easy to use
“pooltester” block and a robust Jackson
turbidity tube capable of one handed
operation, and is supplied complete with
reagents for 300 tests for residual and
combined chlorine, pH and
thermotolerant/total coliforms.

BENEFITS
 Powerful single incubator docking station gives
flexibility to switch between in-case or on
bench use

 Process samples while transporting and

carrying the portable laboratory with the
upright incubator format. Samples remain in
the correct orientation even when being
carried

 Accurate digital temperature control to 0.1oC

 Low cost equipment and consumables ensure
ensures optimal bacterial growth
multiple units can be deployed for most
 Small lightweight case gives an easy portable effective data collection
solution, even for just one user
 PetriLok® petridish carriage system stops
 Strong comfortable shoulder strap ensures incubator contamination from the user’s
reduced user fatigue when carried in the field hands and ensures stability of dishes in transit,
avoiding media spillage

 Never run out of reagents again. In-built

removable accessories tray makes identifying
consumable and reagent stock levels simple
and avoids the possibility of damage or
breakage during transport

 The high performance battery pack built into

 Up to 24 hour countdown timer that pauses in
the event of power failure, ensuring no false
negative microbiological results
 Total control over incubation temperature.
Other cultures are possible using different
selective media
the case is hidden from potential theft behind
a locked hinged panel while being easily
accessible using the simple tool provided
 Instant physico-chemical results with the easy
to use pooltester block and Jackson turbidity
tube saves time and money in the field

 Single waterproof (IP68) case makes it easy for

one user to carry and floats to avoid loss if
dropped in water
TRACE2O®

 Save time with fast and easy calibration in the

field

 High levels of stock at the Trace2o® warehouse

means kits can reach the field fast, avoiding
delays on results and improving the speed of
remedial action

 Rapid deployment in the field for emergency

response due to its small, lightweight size and
easy carriage
