Vigiwater is the most comprehensive bioassay kit available on the market.
It ensures that the main mechanisms of toxicity at the source of modern water pollution are fully addressed.
Tame-Water offers two levels of analysis: Vigiwater Light and Vigiwater Complete.
Vigiwater Light Solution
This service includes:
- A general toxicity test with 2 bacteria, 2 yeasts and either a daphnia or Vibrio test
- An indicator of genotoxicity (sensor bacteria)
- A human-cell based indicator oriented, depending on the case, towards general toxicity (human leukocytes) or oestrogen disruption or measurement of PAHs and other xenobiotics.
Vigiwater Complete Solution
This service includes:
- A comprehensive test service for general toxicity with 2 bacteria, 2 yeasts, 2 algae, 1 fungus, human leukocytes
- Detailed monitoring of oestrogenic, androgenic and thyroid endocrine disruptors (activation and inhibition) using high-performance human probe cells
- Pertinent insight into genotoxicity on human cells (activation of core proteins in the reporting[8] and of the response to genetic lesions with or without metabolism) and prokaryotes (specific probe bacteria)
- An extensive cellular stress test including oxidative, metallic, membrane, xenobiotic and photosynthetic stress biomarkers (powerful herbicide detection)
- A reprotoxicity test in animal models with measurement of the integrity of the blood-testis barrier and gene detection of gamete maturation
- A «medication» test which analyses the presence of multiple drug residues in water, in the wake of endocrine disruptor presence.
