Industry
Credence Genomics, being the sole Next-Generation-Sequencing service provider, offers you with two innovative technologies to answer the entire array of microbial problems in industrial environments: 16s rRNA sequencing for the identification of bacteria and ITS region sequencing for the identification of fungi facilitating rapid, accurate and reliable identification of disease causing pathogens and industrial contaminants.
How does it benefit you?
16s rRNA gene / ITS region sequencing for the identification of bacteria and fungi permits you to take the fullest advantage of real-time technology to assure high quality of healthcare and manufactured products as well as research opportunities. You will be able to elevate satisfaction of your customers while gaining critical competitive advantages.
Rapid turnaround time
Identification of microbes is better and faster than ever with 16s rRNA / ITS region sequencing of bacteria / fungi. Sample processing and interpretation of results, a task that took at least 7 days ( ̴170 hours) with conventional techniques can be accomplished within 48 hours with the help of this technology.
Identify the complete spectrum of microbes
The number of microbial species, both bacteria and fungi identified by conventional methods is limited due to various reasons such as inability of culturing, fastidious nutrient requirements, unspecified chemical reactions and lack of previous recognition. Being a culture-independent technique 16s rRNA gene / ITS region sequencing allows identification of the complete spectrum of bacteria and fungi in a single run, irrespective of their culture attributes. It also eliminates the hassle of having to prepare culture plates and maintenance of reference cultures.
High throughput of accurate and sensitive data
Results obtained from 16s rRNA gene / ITS region sequencing of bacteria and fungi is proved to be highly accurate than those obtained from conventional techniques, since this new technique does not depend on operator expertise, morphological characteristics or nutrient conditions of the growth medium. 16s rRNA gene / ITS region sequencing can be used to clarify highly sensitive data such as intragenic variations among closely related species, comparative phylogenetic analysis and relative abundances of each species. Next-generation-sequencing based platform enhances the data throughput dramatically, permitting parallelized testing up to 200 samples per run.am text block. Click edit button to change this text.

Increased efficiency
With rapid, accurate, sensitive identification of pathogens and contaminants 16s rRNA / ITS region sequencing delivers maximum production efficiency enabling to successfully screen a larger quantity of end products each day, while assuring absolute microbiological quality and safety of the product. Considering 16s rRNA / ITS region sequencing being applied in healthcare, the total profile of microorganisms in a patient’s body can be identified with a single test: a wide array of culture based and serological tests used in microbial identification can be replaced with this single, real-time test that will make every industry thrive upon its presence.

Did you know?
For the first time in the science of Microbiology, a single test that can identify every known bacteria to man.
Microorganisms are ubiquitous
Some of them are beneficial while others are harmful. Harmful bacteria and fungi can contaminate industrial environments, raw materials and the end products. Therefore, rapid detection methods should be made available to identify their presence, since they can cause costly and dangerous operational problems or even product recalls if neglected.
Our scope
Being the only laboratory with access to Next-Generation-Sequencing technology, we facilitate microbial profiling and 16s rRNA / ITS region sequencing for bacterial and fungal identifications. Our concern is to introduce innovative and sophisticated high throughput technologies to overcome the limitations associated with current microbiological practices and research work.
Agriculture
16s rRNA / ITS Region sequencing allows rapid detection of phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi in turn helping to establish efficient disease management strategies to prevent further infection of crop plants. The technique can also be used to determine the microbial quality of agriculture related products.
Cosmetic and personal care product testing
Cosmetics and personal care products should be safe under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. At present, many products in the market are of poor quality, thus ensuring the quality of your product is essential. While advising you how to define an adequate plan of microbiological control, we ensure the microbiological quality of your cosmetics and personal care products as well as the efficacy of the preservatives.
Pharmaceutical product testing
Low quality pharmaceuticals and inadequate quality control facilities are two of the burning problems in the country. Addressing both issues, we now facilitate quality assessment of end products as well as manufacturing practices, in order to identify contaminants and incursion points; consequently enabling our customers to enhance the quality of their manufacturing practices and end products.
Testing for water treatment efficiency
The availability of clean, freshwater is one of the most important issues facing the country today – and will be increasingly critical for the future, as growing demands outstrip supplies and pollution continues to contaminate rivers, lakes and streams. In addition, water borne illnesses are becoming a prime public health consideration. With 16s rRNA / ITS region sequencing, any bacterial or fungal pathogen that contaminate water can be investigated, leading to improved microbiological quality of potable and treated water.
Soil profile investigations
You are now able to manage your soil biology for profit with 16s / ITS region sequencing test. Soil is a rich source of microorganisms and these inhabitants govern a variety of soil properties contributing to soil fertility, plant nutrition, plant health, soil structure as well as many biogeochemical processes of research interest. Knowing your soil microbial profile will help you to manage fertilizer usage and best utilize soil conditions to obtain higher crop yields.
Fuel testing
Fuel quality is one of the prime concerns of the country today. Although only chemical and physical parameters of crude oil are being tested currently, assessing microbiological quality of oil is equally important to maintain biofueling related problems at a minimum level. 16s rRNA gene / ITS region sequencing is the best approach to rapidly identify corrosion causing bacterial and fungal strains that contaminates fuel storage and engine systems causing costly, dangerous operational problems.
Ecological and marine microbe profiling
Ecological and marine microbial floras constitute two important sectors of biodiversity and have been gaining attention as major research areas of biology. Knowing the vast diversity of it will indeed help to implement strategies to utilize natural resources in a sustainable manner and to conserve ecological diversity for future generations. Some ecological strains of microbes facilitate bioaugmentation of waste material delivering efficient and cheap removal of waste material. Profiling of such strains can be of high economic value, research importance and may lead to new discoveries in ecological studies.
