Head of laboratory & consultant microbiology at Microbial Analysis - Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands
Born in spaceMicrobial Analysis has been founded in 2014 as a spin-off of Bioclear earth and is located in Groningen.We owe our existence to a journey into space. In the nineties the European Space Agency (ESA) commissioned our parent company Bioclear earth, to design a biological air filter for manned space stations, using DNA/RNA technology. In 2014 we have decided to separate Microbial Analysis from the parent company Bioclear earth to further specialize in DNA/RNA technology. The techniques we have used in our space project have evolved tremendously over the years, as well as their application possibilities.'What is essential is invisible to the eye'The essence of everything we do, starts with what is invisible to the eye.
