There
are so many different microbial products on the market today - enough to confuse
even the most intelligent and informed person. Everyone claims to have the best
product but, how do they match up? How can you tell the good
from the bad when picking a microbial based product?
| We have tried
to make this decision as straight-forward as possible for you.
|
|
To make it
easier for you as a consumer to rate and judge the various
products out in the market we have developed a list of
questions for you to consider as you evaluate available
microbial products. |
- Are they the actual manufacturer or just a reseller? -
How do you know?
- Cost - Cost effective? Can
they produce in large quantities?
- Effectiveness - Does it work?
How do you know? Have you seen a list of successfully
completed projects?
- Density and Strength - How
many microbes per gram/ml are in the product? Are you
comparing apples to apples?
- Is it a liquid or dry product?
- Do you really want to pay to
ship water?
|
- What is the shelf-life? - As a
rule dry microbes have a far longer shelf-life than
liquid microbes.
- Do you have to measure and mix several messy
products together? - Why ?
Shouldn't your microbes arrive ready to
immediately go to work for you?
- Does it require costly special equipment?
- Once again ask yourself why is
any special equipment required?
- Do you have to wait 24 - 48 hours for the microbes
to grow? -
What exactly are you growing? Why wait? Doesn't waiting
cost you time and money?
- Government Approvals
- Do
they have the necessary approvals on a federal and state level?

Oppenheimer Biotechnology believes that
it manufactures the best microbial products in the world.
- We manufacture dry products in highly concentrated
formulas, allowing you to add water at your
convenience.
-
Concentrations vary in density and strength from,
our strongest product,
The Oppenheimer
Formula I at
100 billion microbes
per gram (1011), to our lowest
BioZorb
at 100 million
microbes per gram (108) .
- They are very effective - look at some of our
completed projects.
- Our microbes are available immediately upon
activation - no pre-activation and waiting with our products.
- No special equipment is necessary for our microbe
application.
- Our products have a long shelf life 5 years plus, we
hope that you use them before then though.
- Our products are cost effective and save you money,
BioZorb starts at $15.95 for a 4.5lb container.
- Government approvals - We are listed on the
U.S. EPA . NCPP
list
(This listing does NOT mean that EPA
approves, recommends, licenses, certifies, or
authorizes the use of this product on an oil
discharge. This listing means only that data
have been submitted to EPA as required by
subpart J of the National Contingency Plan,
Sec. 300.915)
and we approved for use in most of the states.

We
dare you to compare your current microbial product to
ours. The graph on the right illustrates the large difference between 1 million (106) gm/ml
and 100 billion (1011)
per gram. The
Oppenheimer Formula contains 100 billion
microbes per gram (1011). If you are unsure about
the density of
your current microbial product we suggest
that you contact the manufacturer and ask them for the
information. |

How do I compare the
strength and density of microbial products? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To help you to compare apples to apples (microbes to
microbes) we have provided two examples to demonstrate the strength,
density and high concentration of our products when compared to other
microbial products. |
