Daphnia is an accepted bioassay organism and the biomonitoring protocol is standardized and established in many countries.

The fully automatic Daphniatox warrants rapid standardized monitoring and provides high statistical significance of the data.

Using 14 independent endpoints of motility, orientation, size and form indicate different classes of chemical toxicants and pollutants.

The system is suitable for short- and long-term monitoring of fresh water and industrial, household and agricultural waste water.

High sensitivity of the microcrustacean Daphnia and low initial costs and negligible running costs characterize the system.
