VIT-Nocardia

fast and reliable filamentous bacteria detection (# 01110009)

VIT-Nocardia specifically detects nocardioform Actinomycetes directly within your activated sludge sample. Branch growing, gram-positive filaments and single cells such as Nocardia, Gordona, Rhodococcus, Skermania and Tsukamurella are various genera of Nocardioform Actinomycetes. These bacteria are considered primary cause to floating sludge and scum forming in many wastewater treatment plants. By means of our VIT key, contained bacteria can be quantified. Changes within one population can thus be monitored continuously.
By integrating our product into an early warning system you will save a considerable amount of chemicals.

Our kit contains all essential expendable materials required for analysis. Following a short sample pre-enrichment VIT analysis may commence. Pre-enrichment is completed within minutes. Final results are provided within 3 hours. Analysis is conducted with a fluorescence microscope.
