GeneCount™
GeneCount™ Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) analysis allows users to rapidly screen for specific microbes, or groups of microbes, known to be significant in their process/systems. This highly sensitive analysis can detect low levels of the targeted problem organisms and quantify the entire population of that organism, giving you insight so you can proactively detect changes in your system. Can run up to 14 samples simultaneously plus controls depending on the device
