Inspiring the next generation

Bring it On is an annual event, designed to showcase the best of science and engineering in the North East of England, encouraging students to undertake STEM subjects and careers. With 2500 students in attendance, this was the biggest event yet.

Palintest was delighted to be involved in the second ever Bring it On North East, inspiring students to consider STEM careers.  One of more than 70 companies involved at the event at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland. Our aim was to show off the range of talent and technology that companies across the region are involved with.

At the event we were introducing our colorimetric technologies, demonstrating to the students how we use the development of colour to determine the concentration of different chemicals or heavy metals in the water.

Also on display we had one of our portable water quality laboratories, the Wagtech Potatech. These kits have been designed specifically for field use and for regions where there is limited water and laboratory infrastructure. The kits are equipped with technology used to determine water quality and safeguard public health.
Throughout the event hundreds of children got involved and performed tests on different water samples to determine the concentration of alkalinity in the samples, with different samples showing from green to blue.

It was an excellent event involving a wide range of inspiring companies and we can’t wait to be involved again next year. For more information about Bring it On and to find out how you can get involved, visit www.bringitonne.co.uk

    Soil Test Discontinuation

    Soil Test Discontinuation

    6th March 2023

    Palintest exists with a simple but crucial purpose; to safeguard water for everyone, every day. It is this purpose that guides us in all we do. After an extensive review and realignment to this purpose, Palintest has decided to withdraw our soil testing range of products from the market. Our Soil Test range has enjoyed many years of success and we are proud of the positive impact it has had on agricultural communities globally. However, in order to focus on our core water analysis technologies, our Soil Test range will be retired.

    Detecting Lead in Drinking Water – What is the Best Method?

    23rd February 2023

    Lead exposure, through the contamination of drinking water, can have major health implications. It is vital that municipal authorities can employ accurate testing methods to identify sources of lead contamination. Multiple techniques including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) and Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) can be used to detect lead in water – in this article we review these methods in more detail.

    Why does copper contamination cause a risk to community health? And how can it be tackled?

    Why does copper contamination cause a risk to community health? And how can it be tackled?

    8th February 2023

    The human body needs small quantities of copper to function. But as well as being a nutrient, copper can also be harmful if consumed in large quantities. Palintest’s patented single use copper sensor, which can be used in our Kemio™ product range, can allow water utilities organisations to easily carry out testing for copper in-situ at consumers’ taps.
