Identification of Isolates
You just send us your isolated pure culture (bacteria, yeast, mould), and we identify the species by molecular-biological methods.
So: Simply send isolates
Strain-typing of Isolates
Strain typing of isolates allows to compare and differentiate strains of the same species. For this purpose we use specific PCR techniques.
Typical applications for strain typing are:
- confirming the identity of production strains
- confirming the identity of reference strains
- identifying the source(s) of contaminating microorganisms
- grouping of isolates / phylogenetic analysis
Universal Molecular Identification
The Universal Molecular Identification allows the detection of microorganisms present in a sample. The detection is independent of culturing, thus offering a direct semi-quantitative view of the microbial community at a certain point in time.
This approach has many advantages:
- all microorganisms in the sample may be identified
- the identification occurs without the requirement of preceeding knowledge about the type of microorganisms
- no distraction or influence of the microbial community by the type of culturing
- unknown contaminatiing microorganisms may be classified
AMODIA offers several different variations of universal and group-specific analysis.
The technique allows to identify microbial contaminations. It can be used as a starting point for the development of a detection system for that microorganism.
Please ask for consultance.
Development of Customer-specific Test-kits
AMODIA offers the development or adaption of specific test-kits for bacteria, fungi or yeast on our lateral-flow dipstick platforms. We develop complete test-kits according to your specifications:
- for your application
- for your sample material
- with or without DNA/RNA extraction
- if you have sequence data available or not
So: Simply order a test-kit development.
