Test kit for rapid analysis and quantification of the
filamentous bacteria Microthrix parvicella

 

Item Number: 01110010

Detection of filamentous bacteria

VIT® Microthrix specifically detects Microthrix parvicella directly within your wastewater sample. Microthrix parvicella is considered the primary cause of bulking and floating sludge in municipal 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.
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 detected in the kit. Package size: 25 analyses.
