Prior to employment at Georgia Southern University, Asli Aslan co-authored A Guidsance Document for Testing Recreational Waters Using EPA qPCR Method 1611 alongside non-faculty members, Julie Kinzelman, Tamara Anan'eva, Jennifer S. Lavender, and Erin A. Dreelin.

Book Summary: This manual aims to provide technical assistance to laboratories that will be using qPCR for the first time. The content describes the steps necessary to decide whether qPCR is feasible, to outfit a qPCR laboratory, to collect and process samples, to apply quantitative polymerase chain reaction method for the detection of enterococci in recreational waters (Method 1611), and to interpret and report results.
