Case Study: Rapid On-Site Water Testing
Holly Bowers, a Moss Landing Marine Labs researcher, uses Ubiquitome’s qPCR machine to revolutionise harmful algal bloom monitoring.
Harmful algal blooms, particularly those caused by Pseudo-nitzschia, pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems and human health. Traditionally, identifying the specific species within a bloom required collecting samples, transporting them to a laboratory, and conducting genetic analysis. This process was time-consuming and prevented rapid response to potential threats.
A portable real-time PCR machine allows for genetic testing in the field and algal samples immediately, without needing a laboratory. The device helps accurately identify the composition of algal blooms, providing crucial information for risk assessment and differentiation between toxic and non-toxic species. Its rapid response time helps Holly quickly detect and respond to harmful algal blooms, protecting marine life and human health.
This technology has streamlined the research process, saved time and resources, and improved the overall effectiveness of their monitoring efforts.
Depending on the assay, the turnaround time is 30 minutes to 1-2 hours. Witness the amplification process unfold as it happens, allowing for faster time to results.
