Fecal contamination can originate from a variety of sources and affect your waterways, resulting in fines, reputational damage, health threats and economic losses from closures. Our microbial source tracking (MST) service uses qPCR and dPCR testing to identify the source of fecal contamination quickly and reliably in water samples. This is the gold-standard for fast, accurate identification of specific microorganism targets of concern.
MST is the missing link between fecal contamination and actionable information, unlike Conventional Fecal Indicator methods. It allows you to swiftly and reliably pinpoint contamination sources, giving you confidence in your preventative actions.
Luminultra’s DNA-based MST services are based on a methodology endorsed by the EPA and trusted by governments, NGOs, scientists, and engineers across North America.
