Microbial Identification

Microbial Identification

Microbial identity testing is a crucial step in ensuring the quality and safety of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food products. Unicorn Analytical offers a comprehensive range of microbial identity testing services to help clients identify and quantify the microorganisms present in their products and manufacturing environments.

We offer both phenotypic and genotypic techniques for microbial identification.
Our phenotypic approach utilizes API strips—miniaturized biochemical testing systems that rapidly identify a wide range of microorganisms based on their metabolic and enzymatic activities. This method is effective for identifying gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as yeast and fungi.

Our genotypic approach uses DNA sequencing to accurately identify microorganisms within a sample. DNA sequencing provides a highly precise method for microbial identification, capable of detecting even minor differences between closely related organisms. This is especially useful when the API strip method is insufficient, such as with newly emerging or uncultured microorganisms.

At Unicorn Analytical, we employ state-of-the-art equipment and advanced methodologies to deliver accurate and reliable microbial identity testing services. Our experienced team of scientists and technicians collaborates closely with clients to understand their specific needs and provide customized testing solutions. We adhere to strict quality control procedures to ensure dependable and reproducible results.
