As a winner in the 2023 MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards, the GeneCount Voyager is a deployable, 16-well qPCR thermal cycler instrument that LuminUltra has paired with a portfolio of GeneCount qkits for sample preservation, DNA purification, and and qPCR assaying of microbial targets associated with microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). 

According to the company, quantifying these MIC-associated microorganisms can give insight into a system’s corrosion risk and the efficacy of its management programs.

In this exclusive podcast interview, Dr. Jordan Schmidt — senior director of technology and innovation at LuminUltra — explains the evolution of their winning innovation and where it stands today. 

Other topics discussed on the episode include Schmidt’s perspective on market trends and demands; feedback by end users and clients; his outlook for the future; and more.
