Microbe Detectives is a small biotechnology research firm based in Downers Grove, Illinois, that applies modern DNA analysis to water and wastewater systems across municipal, industrial, and agricultural settings. As a WaterTrust business, it aims to provide knowledge about water systems that helps protect public health, capital assets, water resources, and the environment while reducing costs. The company traces its roots to the Water Council’s BREW accelerator, graduating in 2014, and has pursued collaborations to extend its reach, including a partnership with LuminUltra Technologies in 2016 to offer DNA testing services for drinking water and wastewater. 

Its customers include leaders responsible for facilities, technology, and service operations who rely on detailed microbiological insights to manage water systems.
