Mail to address using standard instructions. The sample is preserved and shipped to Aster Bio for DNA analysis. The raw DNA data from Aster Bio is provided in addition to a report comparing the initial microscopic evaluation exam to the DNA results. Matches (proven and in theory) are discussed as well as any additional value DNA insight provides with microscopy).

If there is a common RAS line for two basins it is very likely that they will be similar and a sample at the splitter box before the clarifier(s) is usually sufficient. Please feel free to email or call with any questions. We ask that samples are not combined into 1 from various basins/ SBRs etc. Typically for SBR processes, each cell should be analyzed as they often behave differently (act as separate plants etc.)

Many plants find it beneficial to have a customized poster in front of their microscope so they can correlate their findings to reporting (“birdwatching”). Please call ahead to discuss details if a poster is requested.

We offer a range of tests however want to make sure that we are catering the test to the desired results. With bench-scale testing, we aim to simulate process conditions as best as possible and cater the test to specific needs (i.e. nitrification study, respirometry, toxicity testing, COD removal etc.)
