We recommend that clients use two or more tests simultaneously in order to achieve greater sensitivity and reliability with the results, particularly with regard to negative results.
Cow Fecal Pollution Sources - A discussion on the sources of Cow fecal pollution and they find their way into bodies of water.
Cow MST Case Studies - Case studies of microbial source tracking used to detect cow fecal contamination in water bodies.
Below are highlights of the DNA analytical services mentioned above.
The Cow Bacteroidetes ID™ service uses PCR DNA technology to determine the presence of cattle fecal contamination. The service targets fecal Bacteroidetes that are found in cattle.
The Cow Bacteroidetes "Quantification" ID™ service uses "real-time" quantification PCR DNA analytical technology to determine the presence and quantification of cow fecal contamination. The service targets and quantifies gene biomarkers specific to fecal Bacteroidetes from cow sources.
The Cow Enterococcus ID™ service uses PCR DNA analytical technology to determine the presence of cow fecal contamination. The service targets gene biomarkers specific to Enterococci from cow sources.
The Cow Enterococcus "Quantification" ID™ service uses "real-time" quantification PCR DNA analytical technology to determine the presence and quantification of cow fecal contamination. The service targets and quantifies gene biomarkers specific to Enterococci from cow sources.
The Cow Fecal Virus ID™ service uses a DNA analytical technology called reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This rapid turnaround service (results in a little as 2 working days) detects the presence of cattle fecal contamination and cattle viruses (i.e. bovine enteroviruses).
