Health+

The new and improved Health+ identifies the relative abundance of all plant and foodborne pathogens as well as beneficial microbes.

It can be used as:

  • A precautionary measure to detect a wide range of pathogens in your system before symptoms appear
  • A pathogen detection test in symptomatic crops when the problem is unknown
  • Assessment of the beneficial microbes in your system

The advantage of Healthy Hydroponics and Health+ is the ability to track the same pathogen in different samples over time.

Health+ utilizes amplicon sequencing technology to detect bacteria, fungi, and fungal-like organisms. You can collect and send us a broad range of samples such as water, irrigation water, leachate, roots, and even swabs!
