Key Benefits

  • Fast: Quick turnaround times ensure timely project completion
  • High-quality: Proprietary, optimised protocols deliver reliable data
  • Sensitive: Our protocols succeed with even low-quantity samples
  • Collaborative: Our scientists work together with you to design studies that meet your project objectives

Microbial community analysis

  • Amplicon-based metagenomics using next generation sequencing (NGS) - 16S, 18S, ITS or other conserved genes
  • Broad range of starting materials, e.g. air filters, soil, water samples
  • Extensive scientific support through the whole process including bioinformatics
  • Bespoke primer design and PCR conditions
  • Optimised NextSeq2000 library preparation delivers low amplification bias/artefacts

Our bioinformatic services include:

  • Reference-assisted operational taxonomic unit (OTU) clustering
  • Taxonomic classification of OTUs
  • Diversity analysis with extensive data visualisation which includes multivariate

Strain characterisation

  • NextSeq2000/NextSeq550/NovaSeq whole genome shotgun sequencing of your microbial isolate
  • Variable coverage range according to your individual needs
  • Alignment and variant calling versus reference
  • De novo assembly and annotation**
