Description
Summary:This communication describes the applicability of personal glucose meters for regularly monitoring the quality of potable water. We have demonstrated a simple method that can accurately detect very low levels of E. coli contamination in water and has the potential to be developed into a comprehensive test kit, which can provide both qualitative and quantitative results.
