Public Profile

Scientific Methods Inc (SMI) offers laboratory analyses of wastewater and recycled water which addresses microbiological problems. The firm is committed to the research and development of improved methods for detecting waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium. These parasitic protozoans can be concentrated from water and wastewater by continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) or by filtration using Envirochek filter capsules. Immunomagnetic beads capture protozoa from sample concentrates, permitting the removal of interfering debris from the sample. Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts are dissociated from the immunomagnetic beads and are then labeled to fluorescent antibodies to facilitate microscopic visualization and enumeration. MI's staff bring together their knowledge of microbiology, chemistry, water treatment technologies and environmental regulations to design and conduct laboratory experiments and advanced microbiological analyses tailored to address specific client problems.  The company works with environmental engineering firms, water treatment system manufacturers, government agencies, municipalities, universities and other organizations to develop and apply innovative products to solve environmental problems.
