Species determination of microorganism

Molecular identification: the quintessential tool

 

The conventional methods of detection and identification of bacteria and fungi have mainly relied on culture isolation and subsequent analysis of biochemical properties as well as fastidious observation of morphological traits. These methods are time-consuming, laborious and may require days to weeks before identification.

DNAVision provides bacterial or fungal identification based on gene sequencing of 16s (bacteria) or 28s (fungus) rRNA gene, the new tools for microbiologists.

Bacteria or fungi identification through this genetic-based technology offers reliable, accurate and reproducible results in very short turnaround time. DNAVision is even able to identify non-viable or damaged cells, species difficult to grow or impossible to identify with conventional techniques.

The future in your hands : Metagenomics service

To remain one step ahead, DNAVision continuously adapts its services and offers a new cutting-edge service in metagenomic analysis of your samples (soil, leaves, digestive track ...).

This service can be conducted as stand-alone contract work or as an integral part of broader research projects. The total number of separate genospecies is estimated at one million to one billion. The metagenomic approach studies the collective genomes of all the microorganisms of a sample, even the non-culturable microorganisms often representing the main part of the microflora. This enormous genetic and biological diversity can be exploited for the recovery of novel genes, entire metabolic pathways and their products or to produce a profile of diversity in a natural sample.

By using DNAVision services in metagenomics, you will follow scientific evolution and have access to these newest technologies and standards without capital investment, personnel training or process validation.

DNAVision claims no ownership or IP rights to data generated for our clients.
