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.
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).
