QuantArray®-Chlor Overview

This product brochure provides an overview of QuantArray®-Chlor, which allows site managers to economically evaluate the biodegradation potential of a spectrum of chlorinated compounds. QuantArray®-Chlor simultaneously quantifies microbes responsible for reductive dechlorination (Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, Dehalogenimonas, Desulfitobacterium, etc.), aerobic cometabolism, and competing processes in a single analysis.

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

PLFA Overview

This product brochure provides an overview of Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) analysis, which is used to quantify total viable biomass in environmental samples and provide a general profile of the microbial community.

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

NGS-ER Brochure

This product brochure provides an overview of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for remediation applications. NGS identifies the microorganisms present in an environmental sample down to the genus level, requiring no prior knowledge of microbial community composition.

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

In Situ Microcosm Brochure

This product brochure provides an overview of how Bio-Trap® In Situ Microcosms (ISMs) provide microbial, chemical, and geochemical evidence for simultaneous, cost-effective evaluation of multiple remediation alternatives (e.g., MNA, Biostimulation, Bioaugmentation).

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

CENSUS® Overview

This product brochure provides an overview of CENSUS® qPCR testing, which is a DNA-based method that can accurately quantify specific microorganisms (e.g. Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, anaerobic benzene carboxylase) responsible for biodegradation of contaminants.

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

Abiotic Brochure

This product brochure provides an overview of the Abiotic Panel, which includes testing for magnetic susceptibility, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and percent clay to evaluate the potential for abiotic degradation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. A variety of iron-bearing minerals and phyllosilicate clays are capable of degrading chlorinated ethenes and carbon tetrachloride.

Microbial Insights Brochure Logo

Bio-Trap® Brochure

This product brochure provides an overview of Bio-Traps®, which are passive microbial samplers that collect microbes over time for a better understanding of biodegradation potential. Bio-Traps® can be analyzed using a variety of molecular biological tools, including CENSUS® qPCR, QuantArray®, and Next Generation Sequencing.
