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. Each test serves as a counter check with the other tests by targeting a different indicator organism.

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).
