Dental chair water lines are narrow, warm and rarely flushed — ideal conditions for bacterial biofilm to develop. The ADA Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines require quarterly testing of dental unit water to confirm bacteria levels remain within the 200 CFU/mL patient safety limit.
This test covers one sample per chair. Each chair is an independent water circuit and must be tested separately. Select the number of chairs in your practice above — pricing adjusts automatically.
Your kit arrives with everything needed: pre-labelled sample bottles, step-by-step collection instructions, and a priority courier number to book same-day collection from your reception desk. Results are emailed within 5–7 business days as a NATA-accredited Certificate of Analysis with a plain-English pass/fail summary benchmarked against the ADA limit.
What this test covers: Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC) by R2A agar at 25°C with 7-day incubation — the method specified in the ADA IPC Guidelines. Benchmarked against the ADA limit of <200 CFU/mL. One sample per chair, each result reported individually.
When to order: Quarterly, as required by the ADA IPC Guidelines. Also recommended after any chair maintenance, line treatment, or extended practice closure.
