HM-BDX Biological Toxicity Analyzer

Product Introduction

The HM-BDX is a portable biological toxicity detection system engineered for organizations requiring both qualitative screening and quantitative toxicity measurement in a field-deployable instrument. Building upon the luminescent bacteria bioluminescence inhibition principle (ISO 11348-3), the HM-BDX adds automated dark chamber calibration and quantitative EC50 determination capabilities that meet regulatory documentation requirements.

The integrated automatic dark chamber eliminates the single largest source of operator error in toxicity testing — inconsistent light exclusion during measurement. Once the sample chamber closes, the instrument performs automated dark current calibration, luminescence baseline measurement, and timed incubation without operator intervention. This automation enables deployment by personnel with standard operational training rather than specialized laboratory qualifications.

With dimensions of 420×330×175mm and weight of 5KG, the HM-BDX occupies the operational space between handheld field screeners and fixed laboratory analyzers. The 6000mAh battery provides sufficient power for a full day of field measurements, while the 7-inch touchscreen interface delivers laboratory-quality data visualization in challenging field environments.

Applications

• Municipal wastewater treatment plant discharge compliance monitoring

• Industrial effluent toxicity quantification for regulatory reporting

• Drinking water treatment process effectiveness verification

• Environmental monitoring station routine toxicity assessment

• Chemical spill response — quantitative contamination level determination

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing wastewater treatment validation

• Mining and metallurgy discharge point monitoring

• Agricultural runoff toxicity evaluation at watershed boundaries

Functional Performance

1. Dual-mode detection: qualitative toxicity screening plus quantitative EC50 determination in a single portable instrument

2. Automatic dark chamber calibration system eliminates operator-dependent measurement variability

3. 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with graphical result display including dose-response curves and inhibition rate trends

4. Built-in 4G/WiFi connectivity enables real-time data transmission to cloud monitoring platforms and LIMS systems

5. 6000mAh lithium battery supports 8+ hours of continuous field operation including temperature-controlled incubation

6. Internal Peltier temperature control system maintains 15±1°C incubation without external water bath

7. Automatic measurement sequence: dark calibration → baseline → incubation → result — fully unattended after sample loading

8. 5,000 measurement records with searchable database and automated report generation (PDF export)

9. Compliant with GB/T15441-1995 and ISO 11348-3 for regulatory acceptance of results

10. Portable design (420×330×175mm, 5KG) with integrated carrying handle for vehicle-based deployment

11. RJ45 Ethernet port for fixed installation integration with plant SCADA systems
