Air Techniques Announces a 15-Minute, Rapid In-Office Test for Dental Waterlines
MELVILLE, New York — (March 25, 2025) — Air Techniques, Inc., a leading innovator and manufacturer of dental equipment, is excited to announce the launch of the CleanStream Waterline Test Kit, designed specifically for dental offices to quickly test their dental waterlines in just 15 minutes.
The CleanStream Waterline Test Kit is an in-office testing solution that offers a rapid screening method for bacteria, fungi, and biofilm contamination, which dental waterlines are particularly prone to. This simple, convenient, and cost-effective tool serves as an early warning system for dental practices.
This new testing kit delivers accurate results comparable to laboratory testing, but without the wait. The proprietary filter concentrates bacteria for the fastest results, allowing dental offices to detect microbial contamination in water with levels above 500 CFU/mL in just 15 minutes—no laboratory or incubation required. The results are displayed on an easy-to-read, color-coded scale. The CleanStream Waterline Test Kit is compatible with all dental waterline maintenance products, and test validation is applicable for straws, cartridges, tablets, and office systems.
“We are thrilled to bring this essential tool to the dental community that we are proud to serve,” said Nicole Miller, Air Techniques Product Manager of Dental Hygiene. “Ensuring the safety of dental patients is a shared goal, and this quick, straightforward 15-minute test is an essential first step in identifying whether your dental unit waterlines are contaminated with harmful pathogens that could pose a risk to patient safety, or if they are clean and free from such hazards.”
Air Techniques offers a comprehensive product portfolio including utility systems, digital imaging, and merchandise, catering to practices of any size—from small clinics to large universities or hospitals. Consistently, Air Techniques remains the leading manufacturer of dental air compressors and vacuum systems in North America.
