Water Bioindicator Analysis

Micro-organism communities occupy their ecological niches and have complex interactions with each other. They are a complete ecological unit in the aquatic ecosystem, which is very sensitive to changes in living environmental conditions. Their changes can reflect many features of the structure and function of the whole aquatic ecosystem.

Biological and habitat indicators can be used to evaluate the ecological quality of waters. The species and abundance of aquatic organisms in waters can likewise reflect changes in the aquatic environment. Lifeasible provides water quality indicators testing and pays more attention to water biodiversity and characteristics testing, including but not limited to testing and index analysis of various microorganisms and algae in the water, etc. The comprehensive testing data and results from such comprehensive testing services can more truly reflect the status of water safety and water pollution at sampling sites.

• Water microbiology analysis

Water microbiological indicators are currently used to evaluate the biological contamination of water samples, and epidemiology of one of the important indicators, the detection of microbiological indicators and water sample safety evaluation are closely related. Therefore, Lifeasible provides analysis services for microbiological indicators in water samples. Our test results can reflect the characteristics and interrelationships of microbiological indicators in different types of water to accurately assess water contamination status and water quality.

• Algae analysis

Algal blooms in water can lead to the metabolic secretion of algal toxins, the production of odoriferous substances, and the increase of algal organic matter. Therefore, for the detection of algae in the water, Lifeasible provides various solutions. Compared with traditional water quality monitoring, the results of algae testing can be a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the potential impact of water pollution on water quality and human health.

• Water biodiversity monitoring

The quality of the water environment is very closely related to the diversity of aquatic organisms. Lifeasible can detect and analyze the diversity indices of aquatic organisms in water samples, showing the changes in distribution density and diversity indices of aquatic organisms in water samples and characterize the condition of the water environment by the results.

• Water biotoxicity testing

Lifeasible has established an integrated, comprehensive, and accurate water biotoxicity testing system using a combination of biological testing and chemical analysis, which allows us to efficiently and accurately achieve water safety testing and comprehensively evaluate the toxicological effects of complex systems on water ecosystems.

It may be difficult for a single type of indicator to reflect all changes in the regional watershed ecosystem fully. At this time, the selection of different research objects may lead to different evaluation results. Therefore, Lifeasible established a multi-indicator evaluation system from the above three aspects to reflect the water's physical and chemical environment, biological conditions, species richness, ecosystem type diversity, community integrity, species endemism, and invasiveness of alien species, to objectively and comprehensively reflect the natural properties and corresponding changes in the watershed.
