Lab testing services
qPCR testing
Mail-in DNA testing to detect and quantify specific microbes such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), acid-producing bacteria (APB), Legionella and MIC biomarkers.
Ideal for confirming presence, tracking ongoing risk or validating treatment results.
What you can test for
Acid Producers
Biofouling
Fuels
How It fits into the ecosystem
qPCR testing connects easily to the GeneCount® workflow.
Collect a sample anywhere, preserve it with our kits, send it in and get accurate results back in days.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Comprehensive microbial community analysis to identify and quantify all organisms in your system.
NGS sequences the 16S rRNA gene present in all bacteria and archaea, giving you a complete picture of what’s active and how populations are changing.
What you can test for
All bacteria
All archaea
Shifts in microbial community structure
How it fits into the ecosystem
NGS provides the broad picture of your system, showing which microbes are active and how populations shift over time.
With that insight, you can deploy qPCR tests to track specific targets and verify treatment results. It takes the guesswork out of microbial control, helping you treat based on data rather than relying on blanket biocide use.
Food testing services
Luminultra Labs supports the food and beverage industry with accredited microbiology testing.
From routine compliance checks to shelf-life studies and troubleshooting contamination, our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab in Fredericton, NB delivers fast, reliable results for product, water and environmental samples.
What you can test for
HACCP & GMP program support
Environmental monitoring
Shelf-life and challenge studies
Regulatory and export compliance
Support for expanding businesses
How it fits into the ecosystem
Our labs help QA teams protect product quality, meet regulatory standards and safeguard brand integrity.
Collect and preserve samples in the field, send them to our accredited lab, and get results you can trust.
