Overview of services
You send us the sample - we carry out the analysis.
Wastewater
Direct microbiology for wastewater treatment plants: vermicon makes the biocenosis visible and enables quality-assuring operational analysis - including systematic monitoring to prevent malfunctions. Living microorganisms are specifically identified and tracked, beyond the limits of conventional cultivation.
