The company does projects for soil remediation sites, water boards (WWTPs), and drinking water companies.
Services
Laboratory services- qPCR analyses for the measurement of specific types and properties of bacteria in water samples (groundwater, surface water, drinking water of waste water).
- Biodiversity analysis of water samples with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to provide an insight into all of the microbial species in a water sample.
- Degradation test to study whether or not a compound in a specific water source could be treated biologically.
- Development and validation of qPCR analyses.
- Software for transforming NGS data into interactive files and maps for interpretation and visualisation.
- Interpretation and reporting of NGS and qPCR data .
A rapid, easy to use field qPCR to detect the presence of a specific micro-organism in water samples. Outside the laboratory, within 2 hours. Relevant-use cases include:
- Monitoring of fecal contaminants and cyano bacteria in bathing water.
- Monitoring COVID-19 in waste water.
- Monitoring Legionella in (drinking) water systems.
