A system for analyzing the water quality of a water sample is provided. The system includes an inlet designed to deliver the water sample to a photometric analyzer, a chemical reagent system downstream of the inlet and upstream of the photometric analyzer, and a controller. The chemical reagent system is designed to inject one or more reagents into the water sample. The photometric analyzer comprises a vial designed to contain the water sample, at least one light source designed to emit light toward a first side of the vial, and at least one light detector designed to detect the emitted light on a second side of the vial. The controller is configured to adjust a dosage of the one or more reagents injected into the water sample, receive data from the at least one light detector, and analyze the water quality of the water sample based on the received data.

Bioburden analysis devices and related systems and methods are disclosed which utilize ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to enhance accuracy of results. A light source producing UV light is positioned along a passageway for a fluid flow upstream of a laser subsystem. The laser subsystem includes a laser which excites particulate within the fluid and a photo detector which measures fluorescence of the particulate within the fluid. By exposing the particulate to UV light prior to laser excitement, signal to noise ratio is increased, providing more accurate results.
