Strain Authentication Service

Ensure the Integrity of Genetic Material in Synthetic Biology

As the field of synthetic biology continues to evolve, the need for reliable and accurate strain authentication methods has become increasingly important.

At CD Biosynsis, we understand the significance of strain authentication in ensuring the integrity of genetic material and have developed a range of services to cater to this need.

Our Strain Authentication Services

 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Our 16S rRNA gene sequencing service provides a rapid and accurate method for identifying microorganisms. This technique involves sequencing the 16S rRNA gene, which is a highly conserved region of the microorganism's genome that provides a unique identifier.

Whole-Genome Sequencing

This technique involves sequencing the entire genome of the microorganism, providing a wealth of information on its genetic makeup and evolutionary history. This service is particularly useful for identifying novel microorganisms or those with unknown genomic information.

Biochemical Analysis

Our biochemical analysis service involves analyzing the metabolic capabilities of the microorganism. This provides information on the microorganism's metabolic pathways, enzyme activities, and other biochemical properties, allowing you to understand its potential applications and limitations. Our expert biochemists use a range of techniques, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to provide detailed profiles of the microorganism's metabolic capabilities.

Strain Characterization

Our strain characterization service involves a comprehensive analysis of the microorganism's properties, including its genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic characteristics. This service provides a detailed understanding of the microorganism's biology and its potential applications in synthetic biology. Our expert bioinformaticians and biologists use advanced computational tools and techniques, including pathway analysis, gene prediction, and protein structure prediction, to provide a comprehensive view of the microorganism's biology.
