Microbial Insights, Inc. - Bio-Flo Sampling Approach

Bio-Flo Sampling Approach

The Bio-Flo Sampling Method was developed as an alternative sampling technique which is accurate and cost effective. The Bio-Flo sampling approach can be used for the DNA-based analyses (qPCR & DGGE) which MI offers.

It is important that samples taken for microbiological analysis are collected and shipped properly because the data obtained may be compromised by inadequate collection or shipment.

Bio-Flo offers advantages because this approach is done easily and quickly in the field and filters are less costly and cumbersome to handle and ship.

Advantages of Bio-Flo Sampling Approach:

Easy to Use: Bio-Flo can be used with any in-field filter setup.
Cost Effective: Cost savings in shipping samples for analysis.
Reduced Risk: Filtering in the field decreases the risk of sample contamination, breakage or changes during shipping.
