The corrosion of appliances, fixtures, and pipes is gradual and often invisible, especially when you don’t know what’s in your water. Through our proprietary system and software, Retego Labs uncovers that mystery within minutes — using a fraction of the resources typically needed to test water.
Our revolutionary and internationally patented testing process gives you the ability to repair and even customize the water at your sites (and your home). Come and see Retego Lab’s products and software first hand.
To see how Retego is being used in the field, be sure to attend the SLB (formerly Schlumberger) session on Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC). See how the world’s leading oil field services provider utilizes our process to test fresh samples in their research areas.

Critical water monitoring is usually accomplished through a mixture of laboratory analysis and a broad suite of often low-precision, on-site testing equipment and kits for operations and waste water management. On-site chemical testing usually relies on kits and instruments that were originally developed for very narrow ranges and suffer from the following issues:
Limited dynamic range requires time-consuming dilutions and the resulting reduction in precision.
Many kits are titrimetric, or use instruments that require specialized training, time-consuming reagent handling, and calibration steps for proper function to produce reliable results.
During the time required for off-site testing, there’s a higher potential for cross-contamination to the fresh water sources or microbial action to stored waters.
Tests developed for potable water can suffer from interferences that are present in industrial waters, leading to inaccurate results.
Methods developed for monitoring pH can become inaccurate when conductivities are extremely low or moderately high.
Lengthy on-site water monitoring puts operations at a greater risk of exceeding contractual or environmental limits, which is critical to waste water management.
Non-hazardous, single-use vials that contain a stable mixture of all chemical components needed to conduct a specific test to analyze a water sample. Retego has utilized standard ASTM test reagents and safer alternatives, where they can be substituted without reducing the accuracy of the assay. The only liquid present in the test is the sample.
The dried chemicals in the cuvettes are stabilized to ensure extended shelf life and that the kits remain stable over the extreme temperatures encountered in the field.
A durable, portable, field detector that accurately measures each cuvette by conducting a multivariate analysis of the data set obtained from frequency-modulated colorimetric, turbidimetric, and fluorescence measurements obtained from multiple laser (and other light-emitting) diodes at different wavelengths.
Optical frequency-modulation and demodulation allow the instrument to operate in a wider variety of climate conditions. The TTR eliminates any signal due to temperature variation in the electronics from either ambient temperatures or operation. The TTR does not require a sample blank, or calibration, reducing complexity, time, and cost.
The use of variable stage amplifiers allows accurate results to be collected when the concentration of chromophores is wide ranging. This makes the Retego TTR useful for measuring both low and high-concentration analytes.
While the analytical capabilities of our TTR are remarkable, the long-term power resides in our app: your data becomes accessible and searchable.
Each test requires the operator to simply add the sample to the cuvette using a transfer pipette. The sample will quickly combine with the chemicals in the cuvette, which is then analyzed in the TTR. The results are saved and a report is automatically generated in XML, PDF, Excel or TXT.
The TTR can detect the following analytes and can provide the following calculations
Easy to use with minimal operator training or experience.
Fast, usually 0.5 to 3 minutes, depending on the test.
Applicable to complex industrial samples since it’s designed to work under extreme conditions.
The advanced stages of corrosion are easy to detect, but we want to stop corrosion before it becomes an issue. We all know the complexities of testing for corrosion, like determining whether you are dealing with Chemical or Microbially Induced Corrosion (or both). Retego Labs’ patented process gives you faster access to accurate information so you can make decisions with confidence and keep your systems operational.
