DIY Sampling Kit
Microbes always seem to show up when you least expect them.
That’s why, this early summer, we’re launching our “Microbial Sampling Kits” product line—designed for simple and safe DIY sampling that your employees can perform right on-site.
Microbial Sampling Kits
Corrosion issues and deposits are often discovered unexpectedly during maintenance work or when system components are opened. With our two sampling kits, you’ll be prepared for any situation and can take immediate action whenever changes in the system are detected:
Liquid sampling
e.g., for liquids, brine and various operating materials
Solid and surface sampling
e.g., for corroded surfaces, deposits, precipitates and biofilms
Deposits
PRECIPITATES

When to use the kit?
Microorganisms can contribute to corrosion problems in industrial facilities (microbiologically influenced corrosion = MIC). Corrosion is often discovered during maintenance work. With our DIY kits, you remain flexible and can take immediate action as soon as the problem is detected. A microbiological assessment is recommended in the following cases:
-
in cases of known microbiologically influenced corrosion (regular monitoring)
-
in cases of unknown or recurring corrosion
-
in cases of corrosion on specific plant components
-
in cases of unknown deposits
-
in cases of unusual odor changes (sour, rotten eggs)
-
in cases of color changes and precipitation
-
in cases of blistering
-
in cases of planned hydrogen injection in gas storage facilities
-
in cases of sour gas (hydrogen sulfide) or methane formation
What does the kit include? How is it used?
Our convenient sampling kit serves as an all-in-one system. It combines a transport case, a sampling kit, and a return shipping package all in one. You don’t need any special qualifications or additional equipment, and it generates no waste.

Analysis and reporting
Microbify offers a wide range of microbiological analyses. Please specify your requirements when returning the sample, or discuss your specific case with us in advance:
-
Fluorescence microscopy
-
Live cell count determination (ATP analysis)
-
Qualitative DNA analysis (16S profiling)
-
Quantitative DNA analysis (qPCR)
-
Quantitative ion analysis (e.g., total iron, carbonate, organic acids, ...)
-
Characterization of corrosive deposits (XRD)
-
Quantitative elemental analysis (ICP-MS, ICP-OES)
-
Gas chromatography (GC)
-
Liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Is the kit suitable for anaerobic sampling?
No. For anaerobic sampling, we specifically offer our patented method for the anaerobic, sterile collection of microorganisms from high-pressure systems. This method is always required when living microorganisms need to be examined and characterized in greater detail. For example, to determine hydrogen turnover rates (e.g., cavern simulation) or for inhibition tests to identify suitable measures against the microorganisms in the systems.
