VIT® Nitrotoga

Test kit for the identification and quantification of
Nitrotoga bacteria - stability for nitrification under
cold and extreme conditions.

Item-no.: 01110002

Detection of Nitrotoga

The test kit VIT® Nitrotoga enables the rapid identification and reliable quantification of bacteria of the genus Nitrotoga, which are responsible for nitrite oxidation. These remarkable bacteria can function stably and efficiently even under challenging conditions, such as low temperatures or elevated levels of FA (free ammonia) and FNA (free nitric acid).

With VIT® Nitrotoga, the specific proportion of Nitrotoga compared to other nitrite oxidizers can be precisely determined. Using the VIT® gene probe technology, all nitrite oxidizers are stained green, while Nitrotoga bacteria are additionally visualized in red.

This approach allows for quick and reliable assessment of whether and in what quantities Nitrotoga is present in the system. This is essential for evaluating the resilience of nitrification, i.e., its resistance to changing conditions in the system. Moreover, it facilitates rapid monitoring of the success of measures aimed at increasing the Nitrotoga population in the tank.
