Ensure Testing Compliance and Improve Efficiency
Whether you want to improve, problem solve for compliance, or maintain your system, use our comprehensive MIC assay kits or testing service to track cleaning efficiency and stay on top of accelerated corrosion in your infrastructure. This method can be used in combination with our 16S microbial sequencing services that includes relative quantification, classification of microbial communities, process-relevant insights and functional group analysis to get the results you need for more reliable treatment and gaining a deeper understanding of your system.
End-to-End Testing Solution
Don’t have the staff or capacity to do the testing yourself? Simplify your testing using our complete service from sample collection to reporting with our included sample collection kit, shipping, preparation, analysis, and reporting. You send us the sample using the provided sample kit with prepaid shipping and we send you results fast so you can make informed decisions when you need it most.
Quantify Sources of Microbial Influenced Corrosion
Use digital PCR to detect and quantify sources of microbially influenced corrosion. Digital PCR has the advantage over traditional RT-qPCR offerings by providing absolute quantification and lower sample inhibition from tough matrices such as those found in oil & gas samples.
