“This is a groundbreaking development for treatment plants charged with delivering clean water to the public as well as companies relying on clean water sources,” said Dr. Andrew Eaton, technical director for MWH Laboratories. “Plants can add an extra level of certainty to their work, using the same samples that they are already testing and with minimal added expense.”
