Aug2011_UNITYWATER RESEARCH FINDING IMPROVES PUBLIC SAFETY
A remarkable breakthrough in water research led by Unitywater’s Dr Tracey Wohlsen has allowed microbiologists to more accurately detect E. coli in sewage and saline water samples.
Dr Wohlsen said while other methods take a minimum of 48 hours to produce accurate results from saline waters, the Unitywater Laboratory team’s innovative method can obtain these results and have operations personnel attending affected sites with 24 hours.
Unitywater CEO Jon Black said the Unitywater Laboratory team delivers a range of accredited biological and chemical testing services which evaluate drinking water quality compliance and the quality of sewage treatment plant effluent.
Dr Tracey Wohlsen is the Supervising Microbiologist at the Unitywater laboratory (Sunshine Coast). Dr Wohlsen has also been instrumental in transforming the Unitywater microbiology laboratory into a streamlined, professional unit in recent years, attaining National Association of Testing Authorities – Australia (NATA) accreditation for the facility for the first time in 2009.
Dr Wohlsen is a valued member of the Unitywater team, who enjoys exploring innovative ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of practices at the Unitywater laboratory and employs enthusiasm and diligence in all areas of her work.
