Make Informed Decisions About Water Quality

The CBT Kit generates easy-to-score, color-change test results. Our Most Probable Number (MPN) Table includes both the MPN value and Upper 95% Confidence Level. This data provides a diagnostic analysis of water samples in a health risk framework so you can make informed decisions about water safety.

Excellent Educational Tool

The CBT Kit’s  color-change test results are powerful, visual tools that help individuals and communities gain better awareness about water quality and adopt behaviors for good sanitation and hygiene.

Validated Around the World

The CBT is a microbiological water quality test kit that is used in numerous countries around the world in a wide range of low resource conditions. Tested extensively by independent  parties against gold standard testing methods in the lab and field, the CBT gives comparable results when compared to more complicated, expensive and less portable tests. Our customers continuously affirm the value of using CBT Kits in-the-field.
