ANDalyze Receives US Environmental Protection Agency Validation of Technology and Products for On-Site Metal Analysis in Water


ANDalyze has completed the application, protocol development and testing phases required by the rigorous USEPA ETV program.


General findings of the report:


Ease-of-use: US EPA reported that the ease- of-use of the ANDalyze product was high.


The limit of detection was below 2 ug/L: The limit of detection of the product was calculated to be less than 2 µg/L Pb. This means that the US EPA has validated that the product works to the specified an even lower limit than ANDalyze has indicated.


The technology works in a variety of water types: The product analysed metal content in a variety of water samples including drinking water, ground water, surface water and wastewater. The technology worked in each water type.


ANDalyze technology compared well with ICP-MS analysis method: A detailed data analysis related to percent recovery of spikes by ANDalyze tests and comparison to ICP-MS is available from the US EPA on their website at http://nepis.epa.gov/Adobe/PDF/P100HVTY.pdf


The linearity of detection was calculated to be highly linear: The high linearity means that the test method is consistent across the range of the of the products specifications.


The percent recovery of spiked sample was 75 – 125%: This demonstrates that the ANDalyze tests work very well for field-testing of a variety of matrices. Also the US EPA validated that the ANDalyze specification of +/- 25% is an accurate specification for the product.


ANDalyze Product


The ANDalyze product is a system of hand-held fluorimeter and consumable sensors that test for heavy metal concentrations in water, which provides results in less than one minute. The system currently tests for lead, copper, uranium, mercury, zinc and cadmium. A variety of new sensors are planned for the coming months.


Heavy Metal Testing Made Easy


The ANDalyze solution consists of consumable sensors in combination with the ANDalyze fluorimeter. Measuring metal ions is done through a reaction occurring when a water sample containing a target metal ion contaminant e.g. lead) is introduced to an analytespecific DNAzyme sensor. The test is performed by injecting a water sample through the sensor housing, and into a portable fluorimeter. The sample will fluoresce in direct correlation to the amount of metal ion present in the sample. Results are given in parts per billion (PPB) in less than one minute.
