VIT® Methanogenic bacteria

Test kit for rapid analysis and quantification of living methanogenic archaea

Product Number: 01110016

Detection of methanogenic bacteria

Our testkit VIT® Methanogenic bacteria enables the identification of living methanogenic Archaea (or: methanogenic bacteria) in samples of the anaerobic sludge treatment, biogas reactors and pellet sludges. Methanogenic Archaea are identified unequivocally directly in the sample material. Additionally, a quantitative evaluation in comparison to the total vital flora can be performed.

With VIT® Methanogenic bacteria the microbiology of methane producing plants reasonably can be monitored.

The analysis is easy to conduct – only few minutes hands-on time. VIT® analysis is directly made on an aliquot of the sample material. The results are provided within 3 hours. Analysis is performed by using a fluorescence microscope. All essential consumables required for analysis are contained in the kit. Package size: 25 analyses.

Analysis can be performed with following samples:

  • anaerobic sludge from biogas-reactors
  • anaerobic pellet sludge
  • samples from digestors
  • anaerobic reactors

 

You want to send us your samples for analysis? No problem with our analysis of methanogenic bacteria.

We also are able to provide you with complete population profiling of anaerobic reactors.

Identical microscopic image after analysis with the test kit: methanogenic bacteria shine specifically red or green.
