A New Phase Of Field Tests

VeloCens™️ v.3.0 3T model capable of testing 3 samples simultaniously. — VeloCens™️ v.3.0 3T model capable of testing 3 samples simultaneously.

We took our full VeloCens™️ product package on the road as part of our Phase 2.a. field tests. In Phase 2.a we tested the user experience with VeloCens™️ v.3.0 3T (3 Test) hardware, Test Kit, Cloud Data Centre and the digital chain of custody (eCOC) using the Roshan Water™️ Mobile App.

Operators at Yellowhead County (https://yhcounty.ca/) and the St. Mary River Irrigation District (SMIRD, https://www.smrid.com/) collected water samples, used our eCOC and tested samples for E.coli and Total Coliforms. As always, our engaged Field Test partners provided constructive feedback to make improvements.

Field test partners were particularly excited about our eCOC where a paper-based chain of custody (COC) is replaced with an automated digital version. In our eCOC model all the information regarding water samples is captured and transferred to our cloud data centre through the Mobile App simply by scanning the QR-code on the sampling bottle.This enables users to track each test based on the time and location of the water sample and its corresponding test result.
