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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
