Research
Microbac does microbiological research across different markets and applications: for its own products and on behalf of organisations with a microbiological question.
Two kinds of research
Our own research builds knowledge and improves existing products, under our own brands and for others. New insights are a reason to look at earlier choices again. Not every study confirms what we expected; that, too, produces knowledge.
You can start with a concrete question or with a problem that is not yet clear. Having your own brand or planning a market launch is not a condition. Together we first make the question clear and decide what a sensible next step is.
Your research question
We discuss this together; you do not need to know everything. We tailor the approach to each question.
A concrete question, or a problem you cannot yet pin down.
Earlier experience, observations or data about the product or situation.
The intended application and the conditions in which it takes place.
For example support a decision, test an idea or decide on a next step.
Findings
Research does not always give a clear-cut answer. That is why we distinguish three things.
Findings we can substantiate.
Questions that cannot yet be answered with the available information.
Additional knowledge, a substantiated follow-up question or product development; a product is not a required outcome.
Markets
Microbiological questions differ by application. Below you will find our application areas.
Questions about cultivation, soil and the root zone, for example how a microbial product fits a growing system.
Questions about use by consumers, in the garden, vegetable patch or with houseplants.
Questions about the role of microorganisms in potting soil and growing media and how a concentrate fits an existing recipe.
Questions about water quality and the use of microorganisms in ponds and aquariums.
Questions about the use of microorganisms within aquaculture.
Questions about microbial processes in septic tanks and industrial wastewater.
How we select microorganisms and check quality is described under Capabilities.Want a product developed? See Product development.
