Order your ORVIdetect q-PCR analyses to answer the following questions:
• Are the right bacteria for enhanced reductive remediation naturally present on my site?
• Does the number of specific bacteria increase as a result of degradation and/or stimulation by augmentation?
• Did the Augmented biomass end up in right location?
• Is the remediation progressing as planned?
Our microbial quantifications make use of the qPCR technique , in which micro-organisms are being detected and quantified based on their genetic material (DNA).
We offer the following ORVIdetect q-PCR Analyses
| Analysis | Target Organism/gene | For the Degradation of… |
| ORVIdetect DHC | Dehalococcoides spp. | Chlorinated ethenes such as PER, TRI cis-DCE and VC |
| ORVIdetect VC | Vinylchloride reductase | Vinylchloride (VC) |
| ORVIdetect DHB | Dehalobacter spp. | Chlorinated methanes (e.g. chloroform) and chlorinated ethanes (1,1,1-TCA) |
| ORVIdetect BAC | Total Bacteria | Broad Screening of all bacterial Biomass |
Pre-ordering your analyses for the coming months means we can give you a discount on analysis costs. Contact us for further details
When you order 10 analyses or more, consider pre-ordering.

Procedure
After you have ordered analyses, we will send you the appropriate sampling material, which you can then use to sample your groundwater. The samplebottles contain a preservative so that the samples do not have to be cooled during transport. Within five workdays after we recieve the samples you will get a digital certificate containing the analysis results.
