Panta Germ – Microbiome analysis for aquariums, aquaculture, and breeding
The Panta Germ Test allows you to visualize the invisible world of bacteria in biofilm and water. This enables you to determine early on how stable your system really is—and optimize germ pressure, bacterial communities, and water quality in a targeted manner.

How a Panta Germ analysis works
- You sample the water and biofilm from your system according to the instructions and send your samples back to us.
- After receiving your samples, we prepare them professionally using the latest molecular biology methods and analyze them.
- After successful completion of the laboratory tests, you will receive a report that clearly shows the diversity in your system, the most important bacterial groups, and any possible abnormalities.

What a Panta Germ analysis provides in the report
Practical use cases
Whether in an aquarium, a pond, a natural swimming pool, or an aquaculture facility—in many situations, an analysis of the bacterial community provides crucial additional information. With the Panta Germ Test, you can specifically check whether measures such as filter changes, stocking changes, or feeding adjustments are moving the bacterial community in the desired direction.
DD%
The samples examined show clear differences between the water microbiome and the biofilm microbiome.
EE%
Users repeatedly use Panta Germ as a monitoring tool.

Initial feedback from practice
Thanks to Panta Germ, we were able to understand for the first time why individual basins were running unsteadily—and take targeted countermeasures.
