Generating Environmental Insights with QuantArray®-Chlor
Environmental remediation continues to evolve, and Microbial Insights Inc. is at the forefront of this transformation with its groundbreaking technology: QuantArray®-Chlor. Let’s dive into the power of this innovative solution that has been revolutionizing the assessment of chlorinated solvent-contaminated sites since 2012.
Targeted Analysis, Unparalleled Results
QuantArray®-Chlor is designed to unveil the potential for biodegradation at chlorinated solvent-contaminated sites. By quantifying key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) linked to reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism, this technology offers insights that were once elusive. These results empower site managers to make informed decisions and effectively monitor microbial groups contributing to bioremediation goals.
Economical and Comprehensive
One of the standout features of QuantArray®-Chlor is its cost-effectiveness. By simultaneously quantifying over 20 different microorganisms and functional genes in a single analysis, this technology enables comprehensive assessment of anaerobic and aerobic biodegradation pathways for a range of contaminants, including chloroethenes, chloroethanes, chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols, and chloroform, as well as competing biological processes, like sulfate reduction and methanogensis.
Actionable Data
In conjunction with traditional groundwater monitoring data, QuantArray®-Chlor results can help answer important questions like:
- How feasible is MNA? Is biostimulation or bioaugmentation needed?
- What are the concentrations of contaminant degraders under existing conditions?
- Are degrader conditions greater in impacted wells compared to background wells?
- Based on the MI Database, are concentrations of degraders low, medium, or high in the plume?
- Was enhanced bioremediation effective?
- Did concentrations of contaminant degraders and functional genes respond to treatment?
Paving the Way for Effective Bioremediation
For over a decade, environmental professionals have used QuantArray®-Chlor to economically evaluate the biodegradation potential for a multitude of chlorinated compounds through a variety of anaerobic and aerobic pathways.
