The BioLight Toxy measures the light levels of AliiVibrio fischeri to determine the toxicity of a sample. Results are reported in percent effect or EC50 (Effective Concentration 50%). This measurement can then be easily converted to UT (Unity of Toxicity)—the unit required by the New Norm 001.
Using the BioLight Toxy along with Aqua Science BioLight Multi or Single Reagents and consumables provides testing that can screen over 3,600 chemical compounds simultaneously, while also detecting synergistic toxicity.
The BioLight Toxy includes two temperature controlled sections (sample and reagent) as well as a separate temperature controlled block to ensure that all samples are kept at the proper temperature during measurements. There is also the option of adding an additional cooling block to double the number of samples that can be tested.
BioLight Multi Reagent, BioLight Diluent, BioLight Recon, BioLight Salinity Adjusting and disposable glass cuvettes are additionally required to perform the analysis.
When using the BioLight Toxy desktop, there are several protocols available in the built-in software. The software is easy to use and provides all result calculations that can be printed or saved to a PC as well as the built-in software. The selection of a protocol is based on the type of water, the expected level of toxicity, and the results of baseline data if available. Most protocols provide results in approximately 20 min (portable) & 45 min, (benchtop) including 15 min to equilibrate the BioLight Multi reagent after reconstitution.
THE AQUA SCIENCE BIOLIGHT TOXY ALONG WITH THE BIOLIGHT REAGENTS AND CONSUMABLES BRINGS RAPID TOXICITY TESTING TO THE 21ST CENTURY.

It offers the most up to date, dual option instrument available for bioluminescent analysis in the market. This is a result of matching a team of experts in ecotoxicity to fulfill the needs of toxicity users around the world.
This state-of-the art luminometer brings together the capabilities of doing portable testing in the field as well as bench top testing in the lab. This all-in-one unit is designed to be used in conjunction with the BioLight Multi and Single Reagent as well as BioLight salinity adjusting solution, BioLight diluent and BioLight Recon. The BioLight Toxy instrument is used to read the differences in light from time zero and after exposure to a sample which could be toxic.
