Description

Biolog EcoPlates have been found to provide a sensitive and reliable index of environmental change.

• Measures the metabolism of 31 carbon sources per assay.
• Each assay panel tests in triplicate.
• Simple colorimetric readout.
• Readable with any microplate reader.

This approach, called community-level physiological profiling, has been demonstrated to be effective at distinguished spatial and temporal changes in microbial communities. In applied ecological research, the MicroPlates are used as both an assay of the stability of a normal population and to detect and assess changes following the onset of an environmental variable.

Researchers have used EcoPlates for years in numerous applications including:

• Analyzing population changes in soil
• Water and wastewater testing
• Activated sludge, compost and industrial waste testing
• Bioremediation and effects of toxic chemicals
