Precise and faster Microbiological Analyses with qPCR

Modern mold and contaminant analysis with qPCR

The identification of microbial contamination is crucial for the reliable assessment of building materials and building contaminants. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) revolutionizes this process by providing faster, more precise and more sensitive analyses than conventional methods.

Why qPCR?

Higher sensitivity - up to 25 % more positive detections compared to cultivation
Faster results - no 7-10 days incubation time required, analyses possible a few days after sample receipt
Precise reproducibility - parallel duplicates for maximum reliability

Thanks to qPCR, non-germinable cells that often remain undetected during cultivation can also be detected. This leads to a more precise assessment of the microbial load and greater transparency in the assessment of contaminants.

New laboratory capacities - more efficiency for your analyses

To further improve our service, the GBA Group is expanding its network.

HUS Salzburg (Austria) - establishment of an independent laboratory evaluation for the local market

With our existing laboratories in Kuopio (Finland) and Mönchengladbach (Germany), we offer even faster sample processing with optimized transport routes.

Research & development: Objective evaluation standards for qPCR

As qPCR is an innovative method, there are currently no standardized evaluation principles for the testing of building materials in Germany and Austria. Our laboratories are actively working on developing scientifically validated standards that will be incorporated into future norms and enable transparent evaluation. The method is already fully accredited in our laboratory in Finland, so we can rely on this extensive know-how.
