Microbial activity can be relevant to corrosion, biofouling and changes in industrial or environmental systems. PBR Laboratories can discuss microbiology testing to support an investigation of your system and sample.
Describe the system, operating conditions and observed problem when contacting PBR. Testing for relevant microbial groups may contribute to an investigation alongside operational and other analytical evidence.
Tell us whether your investigation concerns deposits, a liquid, a surface or another material. PBR will confirm suitable analyses and sample acceptance before collection. A microbial finding needs to be interpreted in the context of the sample and system.
Share your target organisms or microbial groups, sample source, investigation objectives and any required method or specification. Contact PBR to confirm which tests are available for the proposed matrix.
Provide the system and sample description, collection location, relevant treatment history and requested reporting needs. Confirm containers, collection, transport and submission timing with PBR before sampling.
A laboratory finding is one part of the investigation. Review it with system conditions, inspection findings and other relevant evidence.
Start with the system, observed issue and sampling objective. PBR can confirm the applicable testing and sample requirements before collection.
Discuss identification of recovered bacteria, yeasts and moulds and the detail your investigation requires.
Discuss water-system microbiology in a defined corrosion investigation.
Discuss microbiology in applicable soil and environmental matrices.
Understand the different questions answered by growth assessment, enumeration and microbial identification.
Read an introduction to the relationship between microbial activity and corrosion investigations.
Connect microbiology enquiries with process-water, cooling-water and industrial system objectives.
Plan laboratory work around environmental project objectives and sample context.
Connect site microbiology questions with industrial soil investigation requirements.
Contact PBR with your sample or product, testing objective and reporting needs. Confirm the appropriate laboratory scope and submission arrangements before sending material.
