Micro-organisms identification

Genoscreen proposes several solutions for micro-organisms identification.

Pharma QC molecular identification

Quick and validated bacterial identification to the gender or species in 72h*

- 16S rDNA sequencing with quality-controlled IQ/OQ equipment
- Alternative method validated by the European Pharmacopea (§ 5.1.6)
- Use of certified database (Microseq®, Applied Biosystems®)

Classic molecular identification

Bacterial identification in 72h*

- 16S rDNA (or other gene) complete sequencingwith quality-controlled IQ/OQ equipment
- Use of international databases

*Identification to the species: identity >99% on 16S rDNA (Stackebrandt et al comitee, 2002).
Identification to the gender : identity between 97% and 99% on 16S rDNA.

Known and unknown bacterias identification

In 4 steps:

  1. Determination of cultural, morphological and biochemical characters
  2. Phenotypic testing
  3. Taxonomic characterization
  4. Full genome sequencing

Investigation of contamination sources

In case of recurring contaminations by the same species, Genoscreen proposes molecular typing by reference methods to verify wether the same strain.
