Retego Labs turns water into actionable intelligence — in time to prevent damage, not just document it. We diagnose corrosion by analyzing the chemistry and microbiology behind it on site in minutes for chemistry and 1 to 24 hours for microbiology — instead of the weeks the old methods take. From oilfield SRB to industrial corrosion to commercial water quality, we act before the damage is done.
There are a wide range of variables that can affect water quality. The type of pipes used, the frequency of water use, and the configuration of any appliances or treatments applied can impact water quality. It’s common to find varying water quality from source to source. Your water system can be customized to fit your unique water use while eliminating contaminants. The first step is performing a comprehensive chemical analysis of the water.
Knowing what is in your water is the key.
With the Retego Certus™ SRB you can have results within one day versus the 28 day industry standard.
The Retego Aegis™ runs patented cuvette chemistry, returning lab quality water chemistry in minutes.
The estimated annual cost of corrosion to US oil and gas production.

Instead of needing specialized equipment and off-site operators with specialized training, the new Retego Aegis test provides lab-quality results in minutes, requiring a fraction of the resources:

Non-hazardous, single-use cuvettes that contain a stable mixture of all chemical components needed to conduct each assay. The only liquid required for testing is water

A durable, portable, field detector that accurately measures each sample by conducting a multivariate analysis using multiple laser (and other light-emitting) diodes at different wavelengths.

While the analytical capabilities of our initial testing are remarkable, the long-term power resides in our app: where your data becomes accessible and searchable.
The fastest, most accurate field-deployable sulfate-reducing bacteria assay on the market. Engineered for oilfield use: minimal PPE, rugged sample handling, quantitative results.

peer-reviewed

Water quality can change from faucet to faucet in your home depending on the materials of the pipes, the faucet, the temperature, and the frequency of use.

Water heaters can break down more frequently than expected if the water is leeching and leaving deposits in the water heater.

Water softeners, if calibrated incorrectly, can contribute to water leeching or scaling throughout the system.
We can show you exactly how much better our clients water has gotten since working with us, but we’ve found they’re better at telling you in their own words.
