Microbiological Testing Remains Stuck in the Past In pharmaceutical, Ultrapure Water (UPW), Food and Beverage (F&B), and water treatment processes, microbial contamination is the most fatal risk. If contamination occurs during the process, it leads to massive financial and time losses, as all products manufactured on that line must be discarded before reaching consumers. Surprisingly, however, microbial and sterility testing in industrial fields still heavily relies on the tr

Treatment-to-Tap: The Flow of Water Management and the Importance of 'Measurement' The journey of the water we use begins at the water treatment plant, travels through tens of kilometers of underground pipelines, and ends at its final destination: the water purifier. In this process, the water purification function is concentrated only at the very beginning and the end of the journey. Therefore, the only way to ensure water safety in the vast mid-mile pipeline network—between
