The Eurofins Agro DNA Multiscan monitors the development of fungi and bacteria. The DNA Multiscan enables you to quickly determine the presence of pathogens in plants.
The DNA Multiscan also makes it possible to determine whether any infection is present in plant reproductive materials, such as cultivation tables, casks and tools. The DNA Multiscan is a unique DNA technique. It shows the presence of fungi in even the smallest concentrations. You are therefore already warned before the symptoms appear in the plant.
Plant specific packages
Extensive research packages are available for greenhouse vegetables, greenhouse cultivation in general, grasses & lawn, woody plants, ornamental plants and open field agriculture. In addition, there are a number of plant specific packages whereby only the pathogens for strawberries, gerberas, cucumbers, peppers, roses or tomatoes are analysed. Moreover, there is a special Trichoderma package.
In addition to the analyses to trace fungi, Eurofins Agro has a special bacteria package. This is used to search for various types of harmful bacteria.
Limited package
The DNA Previscan is a quick preventive test to test on a regular basis for the presence of more common ‘problem fungi’ in substrate cultivation. This analysis will give you clarity about the fungi population within a few days. The price is lower than for the other packages because the number of fungi is limited. If you would like more fungi examined, you should choose DNA Multiscan.

Method
Eurofins Agro analyses samples according to prescribed and established methods. The analysis report briefly describes the method. Here you can also see which method has been accredited by the Accreditation Council. We then put a Q after the method.
In the tab Downloads, in the document “Methoden Horticulture onderzoek” (in Dutch) you will find a detailed description of the methods. This document supplements the information on the analysis report.
