This document provides a cross-industry framework connecting microbial measurements with remediation performance, mine restoration, bioleaching culture quality, asset integrity, agricultural productivity, water quality, and wastewater treatment. Each KPI is structured around a defined measurement, target, performance scale, and key decision question. The framework is designed to help clients translate microbial evidence into clearer operational and…
Microbial Insights’ molecular biological tools (MBTs) and sampling technologies are used to support site assessment and remediation at military-, munitions-, and aviation-related sites across the United States and beyond. QuantArray®, CENSUS® qPCR, and Min-TrapsTM can be used to evaluate chlorinated solvents, PFAS, fuels, explosives, or mixed contaminant impact at Department of Defense sites.
Corrosion of electronic components such as circuit boards, microchips, and semiconductors can lead to costly failures, downtime, and repairs. The MI Corrosion Insights Kit makes it easy to collect samples for advanced microbial analysis to determine if microbes are contributing to the corrosion of electronics.
Biosolids offer powerful opportunities for sustainable land use from improving soil health to supporting site restoration. Monitoring with advanced tools like qPCR and whole genome sequencing can help manage environmental risks associated with biosolids application, including nutrient runoff and eutrophication.
This brochure highlights molecular testing methods (qPCR, NGS, WGS) for microbial source tracking efforts to identify, differentiate, and mitigate sources of fecal contamination in waterways.
This brochure highlights microbial testing solutions, including qPCR, next generation sequencing, and whole genome sequencing, that help wastewater utilities proactively manage challenges associated with fat, oil, and grease (FOG). Monitoring for microorganisms associated with FOG buildup can aid in preventing sewer blockages and overflows, protect infrastructure, and improve operational efficiency and sustainability.
This brochure provides an overview of the Bio-Extract™ field DNA isolation method for environmental samples, which stops biological activity within minutes and stablilizes genetic material for accurate downstream analysis. Performing DNA extractions in the field with Bio-Extract™ eliminates holding time concerns, which is especially helpful for remote and logistically challenging sites.
This handout describes how microbial monitoring at sites impacted with 1,4-dioxane can help identify biodegradation potential, support remediation design, and improve regulatory compliance and risk assessment. Microbial analyses that support 1,4-dioxane bioremediation projects include CENSUS® qPCR, stable isotope probing, and whole genome sequencing.
This handout covers how microbial monitoring can help optimize anaerobic digester performance for maximum efficiency and reliability. Advanced monitoring solutions include CENSUS®, QuantArray®-BGC, next generation sequencing, and whole genome sequencing.
This brochure provides guidance on how to choose the right sequencing approach for a project. The differences and benefits between next generation sequencing (NGS) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) are discussed.
