Written by Marshall Ware | May 24, 2024 6:22:56 PM

In the world of industrial processes, microorganisms wield a powerful influence, often leading to challenges like Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and oilfield souring. Enter Microbial Insights Inc.’s game-changing solution: QuantArray® MIC.

The Power of QuantArray® MIC: Precision and Efficiency

QuantArray® MIC is an advanced qPCR method that swiftly detects and quantifies key microorganisms and functional genes tied to MIC and oilfield souring. What sets it apart? A range of unbeatable advantages:

  • Accurate Analysis: By directly analyzing sample DNA, QuantArray® MIC eliminates biases linked to traditional methods, like plate counts and BARTs.
  • Quantitative Insights: Monitor microorganism concentrations in near real-time, from total bacteria to specific groups. Results are reported as cells/mL, cells/g, etc.
  • Sensitivity Redefined: Detect even minuscule traces with Practical Detection Limits (PDL) as low as 100 cells per sample.
  • Unrivaled Specificity: Precisely target bacterial groups associated with MIC, like sulfate-reducing bacteria and methanogens.
  • Cost-Effective Brilliance: Quantify various MIC microorganisms in a single analysis, with the accuracy of CENSUS®qPCR but at a lower cost.
  • Tailored Solutions: Customize assays for unique needs or develop new assays for previously unquantifiable microbes.
  • Flexible Analysis: Analyze diverse samples – from water to solids, corrosion coupons to swabs.

Leveraging QuantArray® MIC: A Glimpse into Possibilities

QuantArray® MIC isn’t just data; it’s actionable insights:

  • Quantify MIC Bacteria: Assess corrosion potential accurately by quantifying MIC bacteria.
  • Evaluate Treatments: Gauge treatment effectiveness and O&M measures with real-time monitoring.
  • Holistic Understanding: Gain a comprehensive view of microbial dynamics related to MIC or oilfield souring.

Conclusion: Pioneering Microbial Understanding

QuantArray® MIC shatters limits in microbial analysis. Microbial Insights Inc.’s dedication to precision and adaptability is embodied in this revolutionary technology. With QuantArray® MIC, industries can stride confidently toward operational excellence in the face of MIC and oilfield souring challenges.
