Molecular Microbiology

Meet regulatory and contractual requirements with DNA-based detection and characterization services for common food pathogens.

Benefits of molecular microbiology

Molecular testing applications are well established as alternatives to traditional detection methods, offering greater accuracy and faster turnaround times.

We provide a comprehensive portfolio of testing services, combining approaches like polymerase chain reaction (PCR), digital PCR and sequencing, to ensure you get the best results from even the most complex matrices, under challenging conditions and with optimized limits of detection.

Our expertise and experience in developing molecular methods and implementing new technologies ensures:

• Rapid detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens
• Accurate identification of pathogenic microorganisms (EHEC/STEC, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter spp., etc.) and spoilage organisms such as yeasts and molds
