Microbial Insights, Inc

Microbial Insights (MI) is a biotechnology laboratory specializing in the development and application of cutting edge molecular biological tools (MBTs) and environmental molecular diagnostics (EMDs) to describe and quantify microbial communities. Environmental Remediation: CENSUS qPCR and QuantArray analyses to quantify bacteria and functional genes involved in contaminant biodegradation including Dehalococcoides. Stable isotope probing (SIP) and Compound Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA) to conclusively determine whether biodegradation is occurring in situ. Microbial Induced Corrosion: DNA based molecular microbiological methods for accurate and comprehensive quantification of microorganisms responsible for MIC such as sulfate reducing bacteria and methanogens. Microbial Source Tracking: Quantify host associated biomarkers such as HF183 to identify sources of fecal pollution. MI has 33 years of experience in MBTs and EMDs and we recognize that state-of-the-art technologies must be coupled with personalized customer service. We are committed to serving our clients at each step in the process from assay selection through data interpretation.
