Data is valuable for making informed decisions. In industrial environments, the ability to test anywhere, anytime without disrupting ongoing tasks means you can capture valuable information at the most relevant moment.
nomad On-Site Microbial Test Kits are field versions of a laboratory test, designed for maximum ease of use without compromising data quality. They fit in your pocket, take only two minutes to sample and test on-site or off-site, and give quantitative results with a lower detection limit than most rapid methods.
Best of all, our IoT versions work seamlessly with our mobile app to record all the important information about your production environment, test parameters and comments – pen-free!
nomad kits include a collection chamber, a filter to capture micro-organisms and a culture medium, everything you need to test your sample in a single device, so you are self-sufficient in any situation.
Anyone in your organisation can perform reliable and accurate sampling and testing with very little training, thanks to the unique design of the kits and their user-friendly operation in just a few simple steps.
In their IoT version, and used with mobile and web apps, the kits integrate into a digital system that automatically tracks and analyses results.
The test devices are suitable for a wide variety of situations, sample types and applications. You can choose the type of kit you need, colour coded red, blue or yellow, and one of our available formats for liquids for surfaces.
Test kits for liquid samples include a plastic outer chamber to collect liquid samples, a plastic dip test handle (paddle) with a gridded retentive filter and an absorbent pad containing a dehydrated nutrient medium to allow the micro-organisms to grow.
The surface kits include both a liquid test kit and a swab kit consisting of a polyester swab attached to a plastic handle and an outer chamber identical to that of the liquid testers, containing 18 ml of pre-measured sterile buffer solution.
These kits are available in standard or IoT versions, pre-printed with a QRCode uniquely identifying each device and designed for use with the nomad mobile app, so you can forget about tedious paper notes

The nomad red HPC testers contain an m-HPC medium for the enumeration of heterotrophic microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and moulds) growing in the presence of oxygen, whether healthy or stressed (e.g. by exposure to biocides, heat or starvation).
The nomad yellow yeast and mould testers contain an m-Green medium for the enumeration of yeasts and moulds.
Our blue nomad coliform testers contain a proprietary medium for the recovery of coliform organisms after incubation at 35°C/95°F (this incubation temperature prevents the growth of too large a number of non-coliforms).
