Benefits
- Culture-independent: approximately 1% of the microorganisms are culturable. qPCR and NGS are culture-independent and therefore enables us to detect microorganisms, that otherwise remain ‘unseen’.
- Options: we can perform any analysis in terms of microbial groups (for example, bacteria), species (for example, Escherichia coli) or microbial conversion.
- Online data: results are determined online and processed automatically using software tools. Therefore, the results are not susceptible to personal interpretation.
- Quality control: Internal controls are included in all analyses to determine the quality of the analyses.
- Suitable for all matrices: water, gas, soil and air.
- Standard pathogen package qPCR: this is a quantitative measurement for both DNA and RNA on known pathogens.
- vPCR is a quantitative method in which only the living or viable fraction of known, common pathogens is quantified.
- NGS tests the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. The DNA- BioProphyler® focuses on the identification of the total microbial population in a sample with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and screens the population for pathogenic microorganisms.
- v-NGS identification of living or viable pathogenic microorganisms through Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
