Bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses have a crucial importance in the pharmaceutical and agrifood industries, in animal and human health by playing beneficial or detrimental effects. Some species have a key role in fermentation process or in the development of specific characteristics of food products or medicines. Others can be used as food-biopreservative or probiotic for humans or animals.
At the opposite, many species constitute a serious threat by causing human or animal illness, failure of fermentation or degradation of non-fermented products.
The molecular microbiology has revolutionized the landscape of microbiology and will continue to do so by providing new solutions for microbe identification and characterization and for gene expression analysis.
By its close relations with the National Reference Laboratory in Microbiology, DNAVision Agrifood has developed a comprehensive know-how in molecular detection and molecular characterization of microbes and pathogens.
At DNAVision, all the analyses are performed within an ISO 17025 and/or GLP compliant quality environment. DNAVision routinely provides services in:
These services bring innovative solutions for the:
At the forefront of innovation in diagnostic methods, we propose since January 2007, and via our subcontractor laboratory, the first test ISO 17025 accredited for the detection of Hepatite A and Noroviruses in seafruits.
We have also developed diagnostic protocols for bacteria difficult to analyze by classical microbiology, like Clostridium botulinum or for identification of virulence factors in many pathogen species.
By using cutting-edge technologies, we are able to check the whole expression profile of bacteria throughout an industrial process to ensure a reliable quality control, to validate the scaling-up of the process or to prove the reproducibility of the production process. We can also compare the expression profile of mutants with specific properties to those of original strain.
Through the development of specific and unambiguous molecular marker, DNAVision has provided reliable solutions enabling yeast or bacteria producers to track their high-value strains and to protect them against fraud or illegal use.
Through bacterial and fungal species identification, we are also able to rapidly identify the species of your unknown bacterial or fungal strains. Our protocol provides reproducible and reliable results even for bacteria difficult or impossible to identify through conventional methods.
