Clinic features
Scientia
Terrae has successfully developed a technology to simultaneously
detect and quantify a wide variety of plant pathogenic and beneficial
microorganisms in complex environmental samples such as soils,
rockwool, seeds, composts, animal manure, water, and plants. Each
diagnosis can be achieved within 36 hours of sampling based on
an objective technique utilizing an array of genus- and species-specific
DNA fragments.
Thus, this new strategy provides a substantial improvement in diagnosis time from the 14 to 21 days typically experienced with currently recognized conventional culture plating and subjective microscopic methods.
Among the clinics features are its:
- Objective diagnostic tools
- Consistent results
- Timely reporting
- Accurate diagnoses
- Comprehensive knowledge base
