Biospecimen characterization and quality control
Apart from deposit and storage services, we provide standardized or project-specific characterization of biospecimens
Microbial specimens
Bacterials strains:
- Enumeration of viable bacteria (CFU/ml)
- OmniLog analysis (coming)
- Quantification of bacterial genome copy numbers (ddPCR) (coming)
- DNA quantification by spectrofluorometry
- Taxonomic confirmation by MALDI-TOF and/or Illumina WGS
- Single genome-based analysis (genome <10Mb)
- QC bioinformatic analysis of genome sequence
- Identification and contextualisation of sequences of concern
- Curation of data in existing cgMLST database
- Multiple genome-based analysis (genome <10Mb)
- Comparative genome analysis (phylogeny, ANI)
- Support for strain collection
- Private genomic database and analytical web tools
Human specimens
- Hemolysis automated evaluation (coming)
- Complete Blood Count and CRP measurement (coming)
- Urinalysis (coming)
- DNA/RNA quantification and purity analysis by spectrophotometry
- DNA quantification by spectrofluorometry
- DNA/RNA size analysis by microfluidic electrophoresis (coming)
- PBMC enumeration and viability measurement
