Biosphere Protection
Endangered Species Detection
Testing for the presence of endangered or threatened species using eDNA is a non-invasive approach that allows for the detection of species that may be difficult to observe through traditional field methods or may be present in low numbers.
Invasive Species Detection
In the case of invasive species, eDNA analysis can detect the presence of the species in a particular area before they become established or cause significant harm to the ecosystem.
Human Health Protection
Microbial Source Tracking
Our assays are highly sensitive and specific for various host sources of fecal contamination. This information can be used to develop appropriate remediation strategies to reduce or eliminate the risk of waterborne diseases and protect public health.
Pathogen Quantification
Our assays detect a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, making them a useful tool for a variety of environmental monitoring applications, such as for example wastewater epidemiology, animal population health studies, Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA), and many more.
Cyanobacteria Testing
The frequency and intensity of harmful algal blooms containing toxin-producing cyanobacteria in our rivers, streams, lakes, and even drinking water reservoirs are on the rise. These blooms can have adverse effects on both animals and humans. Our tests can detect low levels of cyanobacteria and the presence of cyanotoxin genes and thus serve as an early warning tool for the protection of public health.
