Track Down the Source of Aquatic Bacterial Contamination

JonahWater can provide the answers

Typical source tracking involves looking for host-based bacteria

JonahWater gets right to the source by detecting host DNA in your water body

Using Quantitative PCR, we can search a water sample for human, wildlife, and domestic animal DNA

We completed a source-tracking pilot study in our own Boulder Creek in Boulder, Colorado. We observed spikes of human and livestock DNA based on site, which correlated to visual confirmation of these species.

Our standard analysis includes six species: human, poultry, sheep, pig, cattle, and dog
