How We Work

The first step in any microbiome analysis service is DNA extraction, and we use optimized bead-beating and/or enzymatic lysis techniques to ensure that the DNA is isolated without contamination or degradation. We specialize in DNA extraction from various specimens, including low-biomass samples, using advanced techniques and equipment to ensure high yields and quality of DNA. We also offer next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation for amplicon (both 16S and 18S rRNA gene sequencing) and shotgun metagenomic sequencing
