Microbial Identification

Inquiry

At Creative Bioarray, we continue to differentiate ourselves by providing the latest and most cutting-edge technologies to rapidly identify and characterize microorganisms. Our team uses 16S gene sequencing, using fully validated state-of-the-art DNA sequencers, multiphase analysis, and more to identify unknown microorganisms. By establishing a reference database that considers environmental organisms, we support environmental monitoring programs, product failure investigations, and other pharmacopoeial tests. These identification methods facilitate sterile processing as well as biological contaminant identification and characterization testing. Our microbial identification laboratory and the molecular team can support your identification needs using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry systems, Vitek-MS, and Sanger sequencing capabilities.

Methods of Microbial Identification

The three methods used for microbial identification are genotype, proteotype, and phenotype. Genotyping analyzes the sequence of bacterial and fungal rRNA regions, while proteotyping methods analyze expressed ribosomal proteins. Finally, phenotypic methods analyze biochemical responses. Samples for identification can be provided in the form of swabs, raw materials, liquid samples, pre-exposed agar plates or separate agar plates. NOTE: Accuracy and reproducibility of identification decrease as you move away from the original information (DNA).

The Features of Our Microbial Identification

We have an expert team of microbiologists who specialize in microbial identification tests using biochemical techniques and the latest technology. Outsourcing identification to Creative Bioarray means you can get fast and accurate results without the extensive labor and costs associated with the ongoing maintenance and validation of the equipment required for these services.

Our client-focused microbiological identification services include a range of sample turnaround times and prices to help our clients prioritize the identification of their most important isolates and optimize the use of their budgets.
Creative Bioarray used a genotyping approach to identify isolates. We use the genetic identification method because we believe it is the most accurate identification method.
We are always happy to help you choose the right service to meet your needs.
From sample receipt to the final report, we will keep you informed of the progress of your samples throughout the process.
