Colifast AS offers three advanced instruments for rapid detection of fecal contamination in water.
Colifast ALARM

Colifast ALARM™ is an online instrument for detection of indicator bacteria in drinking water. The ALARM system collects a 100mL water sample at programmed intervals and performs a microbial analysis for either total coliforms, thermotolerant coliforms or E. coli. Colifast ALARM can detect down to 1 cfu/100 mL. The system will provide a first indication after 6 hours and final results after 15 hours, where upon they are transmitted immediately to the operator by SMS, e-mail, PLC/SCADA or LAN. Colifast ALARM can be placed at a remote location and need minimal maintenance, additionally laboratory facilities or skills in microbiology are required to perform the analysis.
Colifast CALM
Colifast CALM™ is an instrument for monitoring raw water, recreational water and environmental water. The automated online system provide the user with quantitative results for E. coli, total and fecal coliforms and P. aeruginosa. The detection time is from 2-12 hours, and no laboratory facilities or skills in microbiology are required to perform the analysis. The patented Colifast® growth media are supplied in multi well Trays™ and the systems flexibility makes it easy to adapt to different applications. The CALM™ is easily operated by the system computer or via LAN interface and results are transmitted by PLC/SCADA.

Colifast Field Kit
The Colifast Field Kit™ is a portable and useful tool for field detection of fecal contamination. In only 15 minutes, the instrument can provide the user with an indication of whether an incident has occured. This rapid method is excellent for tracing contamination sources in rivers. Methods for quanititative results or presence/absence tests are also available. The kit contains everything the user needs for performing analysis out in the field.
Colifast Fish Test
FAST is designed to measure bacteria that impact fish quality, detecting sulfide-producing bacteria (SPB) like Shewanella putrefaciens, a key cause of seafood spoilage. SPB presence is shown by a color change in the sample tube from light yellow to black. Faster color change indicates higher SPB levels, allowing an estimation of bacterial load based on timing. Unlike traditional methods, FAST delivers results in 3–10 hours, requiring no lab equipment or experience.
Colifast Laboratory Analyses
Colifast offers laboratory analysis for your samples, providing accurate insights into microbial quality. At our laboratory we use methods to detect and quantify contaminants, ensuring your results are reliable and actionable
