Sulphate-reducing bacteria – Identification

Fast and specific detection of sulphate-reducing bacteria
in water samples, biofilms or raw materials

 

Item Number: 01220006

Lab analysis: detection of sulphate-reducing bacteria

Samples (water samples, biofilms, raw materials) are tested for sulphate-reducing bacteria.

Results will be provided within 3 working days after sample receipt.

Qualitative or quantitative detection?
Qualitative detection

Which method is applied?
Samples are tested for sulphate-reducing bacteria by applying our specific VIT® gene probes. Results are displayed as basic presence/absence verification. Alternatively, you may also request a percentage indication of living bacteria contained in your sample.

Which requirements are important?

  • Water samples: Minimum 150 ml
  • Basic materials: Please contact us.
  • Biofilm: Please request our biofilm sampling protocol.

 

In case you require a quantitative detection, we recommend: Quantification of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB).
