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 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.
Molecular biological tools offer innovative solutions for monitoring microbial communities that play essential roles in wastewater treatment. This white paper explores how qPCR, next generation sequencing, and whole genome sequencing can be used to monitor microorganisms that are important for anaerobic digester management, nitrogen cycling, enhanced biological phosphorus removal, bulking and foaming, and microbial source…
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 article outlines procedures and considerations for utilizing Bio-Extract™ in-field DNA isolation kits and field-portable qPCR with the FieldQuant™ platform. Comparison data and replicate results are also included, demonstrating the sound science of this innovative system.
This brochure explores how microbial testing can aid landfill management. Several microbial processes, including hydrolysis, fermentation, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis, are important to landfill functioning and can be monitored using QuantArray®-BGC and next generation sequencing.
This Top Tips graphic compares Bio‑Flo® filters and traditional 1‑liter bottles for groundwater sampling, highlighting cost, handling, and workflow considerations. It shows that both methods deliver equivalent data quality and preservation while Bio‑Flo® filters can reduce shipping costs and eliminate filtration and waste fees.
