MICROBIAL MONITORING
Water quality, food safety, industrial process control and environmental compliance all depend on understanding the microbial activity in your samples. LuminUltra provides advanced microbial monitoring technology that makes rapid, accurate microbial testing accessible outside the traditional laboratory setting.
The LuminUltra GeneCount qPCR device uses gold-standard qPCR technology to test, diagnose and drive proactive microbial control. The device is portable, can be used on-site without a dedicated laboratory and delivers results in under 90 minutes. It uses the same qPCR technology applied in clinical diagnostics, making it exceptionally reliable for industrial and environmental applications.
LuminUltra assays cover a comprehensive range of microbial targets including bacteria and archaea (16S rRNA), fungi and oomycetes, E. coli, Legionella, methanogens, sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-oxidising bacteria, iron-reducing bacteria, MRSA, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterococcus faecalis, and pathogens relevant to wastewater, food and environmental monitoring.
The system is particularly valuable for water and wastewater treatment operators, mining process water management, food and beverage quality control, and any facility that needs rapid, on-site microbial data rather than waiting days for laboratory results.
