Dental lines and related equipment are a prime habitat for bacteria and some pathogens. Time is everything in dental offices. Having to wait for results for 24-48 in a dental office exposes them to the risk of having to recall patients, which can be very damaging for their business.

Regulations and public health guidance in the EU and North America are increasingly expanding. In settings with high patient-interaction, such as hospitals and dental clinics, carrying on risk assessment and maintaining safe waterlines are quickly becoming regulated requirements.

Environmental consulting and testing firms provide services that enable a broad range of infrastructure; from cooling towers, hotels, apartment buildings, private wells, water distribution, small businesses and more, to maintain  the right level of environmental controls for water, air, soil, surfaces, and more. In many industries , these firms are responsible   for managing the risk for clients around ever-increasing health guidelines, and safety standards.

Farmers currently send samples to a lab for testing and take action based on the outcome. If a produce recall is issued, farmers are faced with dire consequences and possible bankruptcy. The feedback cycle of collecting samples and sending them to labs is too long: farmers are blindsided with unavoidable outcomes and testing is rendered useless.

Pharmaceutical and food manufacturing facilities are required to perform periodic environmental monitoring. Surfaces, water, air, and in-process and finished products must frequently be tested for microbial contamination.
