What We Do

End-to-End Services

Study Design

Our team will become an extension of yours, running through your hypothesis and the variables of interest, to provide input where required to help design your study.
Sample Collection
We have a unique understanding of collection, storage and transport options optimised for each workflow. Having tested over 20,000 samples using various collection devices and chemistries, we can advise on the best way to get your samples to our lab while maintaining their microbial integrity.
Bioinformatics
We have a passion for data. We aim to deliver a fully comprehensive bioinformatic report and provide you with the tools to interpret your data.
Data Consultation
If you need to spend a little more one-on-one time going through the data, our bioinformaticians are also statisticians and can help run you through the numbers.

Microbiome Analysis Services

iTag Amplicon Sequencing

Who is there?

The most common and economical approach for analysis of composition of microbial communities. Based on high-throughput sequencing of PCR amplicons for prokaryotic communities (16S V4, V1-V3 or V4_skin), eukaryotic communities (18S), fungal communities (ITS2), and archaeal communities (16S V4-V5).

Shotgun Metagenome Sequencing

What can they do?

An advanced approach for analysis of community composition and functional analysis. Based on high-throughput sequencing and analysis of total DNA.

qPCR

How many are there?

Quantitation of total microbial density or specific microbial populations which targets the whole community, as it provides the absolute abundance of the total bacteria community.

Short Chain Fatty Acids

What do they do?

Quantitation of faecal short-chain fatty acids to monitor gut health and inflammation. Based on analysis in a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled with a flame ionization detector (FID)
