Advanced detection and identification of microorganisms in industrial systems
Is your asset or product contaminated by microorganisms? We can help to test it. We offer molecular microbiological services for the identification, enumeration and characterization of microorganisms present in your industrial systems. Our comprehensive diagnostics approach helps identify potential issues before they escalate into costly problems.
BIOCORIX employs a range of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques to provide accurate and actionable information about microbial presence and activity in your systems:
We perform aseptic sampling on any industrial site and in a laboratory isolate DNA or RNA. Our sampling protocols are designed to ensure accurate representation of the microbial communities present, while our extraction methods maximize the recovery of high-quality nucleic acids for downstream analyses.
ATP biomass measurements can provide immediate results on site and provide information about the biomass present in your system. This rapid technique allows for real-time assessment of microbial activity, enabling quick decision-making for operational adjustments or treatment interventions.
Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the number of specific genes, functional/metabolic microbial groups can be detected and quantified. We also develop custom made assays. Our qPCR analyses target key microbial groups involved in corrosion, biofilm formation, and other industrial processes, providing precise quantification of potentially problematic microorganisms.
To accurately identify microbial contaminants new generation sequencing methods are applied. Through our collaborators, we provide 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shot-gun metagenomics and metatranscriptomics services to gain insight into the composition and abundance of microorganisms present. These advanced techniques offer comprehensive profiling of microbial communities and their activities.
Our microbial diagnostic services are applicable across various industrial contexts:
Our state-of-the-art techniques provide highly accurate identification and quantification of microorganisms, enabling targeted interventions.
We offer a range of complementary diagnostic methods that together provide a complete picture of microbial presence and activity in your systems.
Our diagnostic results are translated into practical recommendations for addressing identified microbial issues effectively.
Regular diagnostic monitoring helps detect potential problems early, preventing costly damage and operational disruptions.
