SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Microbiome analysis, the identification of the microbial population present in a sample is a powerful tool that can be used in several ways. In the agricultural sector, analyzing the microbiome of soil, crops, or livestock can contribute to disease prevention. Producers can identify microbial indicators associated with plant or animal health, allowing for early intervention and disease control. Additionally, microbiome analysis can be used to detect and identify potential contaminants in products, to monitor batch-to-batch consistency in manufacturing, to identify microorganisms that may lead to spoilage. Producers can adjust conditions, such as temperature, pH, or fermentation times, to favor desirable microbial communities and improve the efficiency of production, to assess agronomic practices (irrigation), hygiene status (catering services), etc.
SERVICE BENEFIT
- Differentiation in the Market: Highlighting microbiome analysis as part of the processes/practices of quality control measures can differentiate products in the market and may attract conscious consumers seeking high-quality and responsibly produced goods.
- High Sensitivity: Our approach is characterized by high sensitivity identifying even rare microorganisms within the microbial community.
- Unbiased Detection: Unlike traditional microbiology microbiome our services identify all microorganisms in the sample (at least at the genus level) providing a thorough assessment of it.
- Quality Assurance: Microbiome analysis allows producers to ensure the quality and consistency of their goods. Monitoring the presence of undesirable microorganisms helps maintain product quality and safety standards.
