METHOD

DNA Barcoding from Pure Cultures

Send us your already-isolated microorganisms in sterile Petri dishes. We extract the DNA, amplify a single taxonomic barcode — ITS for fungi or 16S rRNA for bacteria — and send it for sequencing. The raw read is edited into a clean final sequence and compared against curated reference databases by homology, giving a presumptive identification at genus or species level.

Need to characterise an entire soil or water community instead of identifying isolates? See MetaInsight for environmental microbiome metabarcoding and shotgun metagenomics.

WHAT YOU GET
  • DNA quality control summary for the submitted culture
  • Presumptive identification (genus or species level) by homology against reference databases
  • Final edited DNA sequence file for your records
  • Per-organism pricing — submit as many isolates as you need
TURNAROUND 8 Business Days

From sample receipt at the laboratory to final report delivery

SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS 1+ Pure Cultures in Petri Dish

Ship sealed Petri dishes with the isolate. We do not accept raw soil for this service — see SoilCheck or MetaInsight.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ITS and 16S?

ITS identifies fungi, 16S identifies bacteria. We run one barcode per organism — let us know which kingdom you want to identify when you submit the sample.

How do I send a sample?

Send already-isolated cultures in sterile Petri dishes. We extract the DNA, sequence the barcode, edit the raw read, and compare against reference databases.

How long do results take?

Up to 8 business days from sample receipt at the laboratory.

What is in the report?

A QC summary of the extracted DNA, a presumptive identification down to genus or species level, and the final edited DNA sequence for your records.
