Nocardia

Identification and quantification of nocardioform Actinomycetes with our VIT® Nocardia test kit. The group of the nocardioform Actinomycetes is feared for causing bulking- and floating sludge in municipal- as well as industrial wastewater treatment plants. With conventional methods mostly only the typical ramified filamentous nocardioform Actinomycetes are detected while the also dangerous types which occur as single cells mostly stay unidentified. With the gene probes all types are detected and quantified reliably.

The results are displayed according to the VIT® key. The report contains hints for combat strategy and a significant photo documentation that visualises the nocardioform Actinomycetes in the wastewater sample.
