DNA-Analyse
Effective wastewater treatment requires more than monitoring chemical parameters. Understanding the bacteria in wastewater treatment plants is essential.
The Microscope of the Future
Improving Sludge Settling
With sound analyses and years of experience in precipitant dosing, we identify the most cost-effective solution for your process. Targeted optimizations reduce operating costs and sustainably lower precipitant consumption.
Increasing Nitrification Performance
Elevated nitrite and ammonium levels in the effluent are often signs of unstable nitrification. Our analyses support root-cause analysis and form the basis for effective measures to stabilize the process.
Process Stability
Understand the biology, optimize the process: with the improved understanding provided by DNA analyses, you sustainably increase the stability, efficiency and performance of your plant – especially for complex processes such as granulation, fluidized bed or anammox.
Optimizing Industrial Plants
DNA analyses enable significant improvements in industrial wastewater processes with high variability. They reveal the causes of performance issues, identify foam-forming organisms, and enable targeted optimization measures.

How It Works
Sampling
Take your sample according to our sampling instructions and store it refrigerated or frozen until shipment.
Shipping
Conveniently send the samples by mail or courier directly to our laboratory (upwater AG, Seestrasse 79, 6047 Kastanienbaum). Cooled shipping is required in case of multi-day shipping.
DNA Extraction and Sequencing
In our laboratory, we isolate the DNA from your samples and sequence it to a high standard of quality.
Analysis and Reports
We evaluate your samples using the leading wastewater database (Midas) and prepare a report tailored to your specific questions.
