When microbial contamination poses problems, you need a highly accurate identification system that you can depend on. To provide that level of confidence, a growing number of pharmaceutical, food, and public health laboratories rely on DNA sequencing, the most accurate gene-based method for microbial identification.

Experts agree that DNA sequencing is faster, more accurate, and more reproducible than phenotypic or biochemical identification methods. It provides the definitive information you need to control contamination and reduce risks associated with production downtime.

The MicroSEQ® Microbial Identification System was developed specifically for automated microbial DNA sequencing. Using the MicroSEQ system, you can identify thousands of microbial species, including bacteria, yeasts, molds, and fungi.

Ideal for applications in pharmaceutical QA/QC labs and industrial microbial identification service labs, the MicroSEQ System uses rDNA sequencing to replace phenotypic microbial ID methods, fatty acid ID methods, traditional plate identification, ELISA or antibody-based methods. Other customer applications include public health labs and QA/QC labs involved with environmental monitoring , finished product & in-process testing,media fill failure investigations, sterile medical products, opthalmics, medical devices, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements.
