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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
This Top Tips bulletin explains how molecular biological tools can be used during site assessment to evaluate monitored natural attenuation (MNA), enhanced bioremediation, and in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) at petroleum‑impacted sites. It highlights how in situ microcosms, QuantArray®‑Petro, CENSUS® qPCR, and stable isotope probing provide actionable, field‑based evidence to compare remedies and select the…
This Top Tips handout explains how monitored natural attenuation (MNA) can be a cost‑effective site management strategy at petroleum‑impacted sites when supported by multiple lines of evidence. It highlights how molecular biological tools, stable isotope probing, and in situ microcosms provide defensible proof of biodegradation and help compare MNA with enhanced remediation options to reduce…
This Top Tips bulletin explains how stable isotope probing (SIP) provides conclusive, in situ evidence of biodegradation for petroleum hydrocarbons, fuel oxygenates, and selected emerging contaminants. It highlights best practices for selecting target compounds, interpreting results, and integrating SIP with monitored natural attenuation (MNA) or in situ microcosm studies to support defensible site decisions.
This Top Tips bulletin explains how monitored natural attenuation (MNA) can be effectively evaluated and supported at petroleum‑impacted sites using multiple lines of evidence. It highlights how molecular biological tools such as QuantArray®‑Petro, CENSUS® qPCR, stable isotope probing, and in situ microcosms provide direct, defensible proof of biodegradation and help compare MNA with enhanced remediation…
