Panta Germ Test – Microbiome analysis
for aquariums, aquaculture & breeding

With the Panta Germ Test, you make the invisible world of bacteria in biofilm and water visible. This allows you to determine early on how stable your system really is and to specifically optimize germ pressure, bacterial community, and water quality.

We make your

microbiome visible

Classic water parameter analyses only show part of the truth. Panta Germ analyzes the composition of the bacterial community in your system using modern molecular biological methods. This gives you a clear picture of the bacterial community and a better understanding of why a tank runs stably or repeatedly causes problems.

How a

Panta Germ analysis works

  1. You sample the water and biofilm from your system according to the instructions and send your collected samples back to us.
  2. After receiving your samples, we prepare them professionally using the latest molecular biology methods and analyze them.
  3. 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 you learn from a

Panta Germ analysis

The Panta Germ Test results report summarizes the complex data on the bacterial community from the biofilm and the water in easy-to-understand graphs and key figures. You can see at a glance which bacterial groups dominate, how diverse the community is, and where potential risks or opportunities for optimization lie.

Use Cases

from practice

Whether in an aquarium, an aquaculture facility, or a natural body of water: 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.
