This brochure explores how data from molecular biological tools can enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental responsibility of mining operations. CENSUS® qPCR, next generation sequencing, and assay development can be applied to three key areas: acid rock drainage, bioleaching and rare earth element (REE) recovery, and bioprospecting.
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 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.
