Microbial Identification
Our Microbial Identification service allows the genus and species of many organisms to be traced with a high level of confidence in the results. This is achieved by next-generation instruments, extensive internal database and access to online databases.
Neotron's identification services will allow the name of the organism to be obtained, which provides clients with useful information for assessing the best corrective action to be taken on the production facility.
Genetic Identification
The method allows the identification of bacterium and mycetes through the amplification and sequencing of specific DNA regions encoding for bacterial 16s rRNA or mycetic D2 rRNA (LSU) respectively.
The analysis can be performed for the identification of bacteria, yeasts and molds isolated in food, environmental, and feed matrices.
MALDI-TOF Identification
MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time Of Flight) is a mass spectrometer used to identify microorganisms (genus and species). This technique provides accurate information on the structure and molecular weight of peptides and proteins. The analysis of protein profiles allows a fast identification of microorganisms by comparison between the spectrum obtained and the spectra available in the database.
