The AquaVial Plus Water Testing Travel Kit combines two AquaVial tests in one compact, take-anywhere package: AquaVial PRO for rapid total-bacteria screening and AquaVial EX for E. coli / coliform detection. Use it at home, at the cottage, by the pool, or on the road for lab-style answers without lab logistics.
Together these two tests cover the most important microbial risks: total bacteria (including fungi and biofilm) calibrated to the EPA threshold of 500 CFU/mL, and E. coli down to 1 CFU/mL. Results in 30 minutes for total bacteria and about 24 hours for E. coli — fast enough for actionable decisions wherever you are.

Compact, travel-ready packaging
2-year shelf life
How It Works
Collect your sample for each test (use the syringe + filter for the PRO total-bacteria test).
Run the PRO test: develop with the reagent and read the colour change after 30 minutes at 10–40°C.
Run the EX test: incubate at 35–40°C for ~24 hours, then break the ampoule to develop colour.
Compare each result against the included chart to identify which contaminant (if any) is present.
