For over 25 years, our lab has offered comprehensive microbial identification and confirmatory testing with unparalleled customer service. We can help you identify thousands of bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, and anaerobes using DNA sequencing, MALDI-TOF, phenotypic identification, or a multi-omics approach.

Sequence-based identification ensures you get reproducible results with your chosen turnaround time (same day, next day, or standard 3-day). Biolog Lab Services uses a custom DNA alignment algorithm for sequencing data analysis, which offers up-to-date taxonomy and an expansive library. Curated entries mean more meaningful reports, and our experienced team gives you the edge you need to interpret results and resolve issues.
Using the MALDI-TOF method, our proprietary algorithms, and validated library, we generate your sample report identifying microbial contaminants to the species level. Choose from next day priority, 2-day priority, or our standard 3-day turnaround times.
We phenotypically identify aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and fungi with our 4 specialized microbial identification microplates. For each type of plate, a proprietary set of reagents are pre-arrayed, and the unknown organism is inoculated in every well. Respiration is measured over time with a reporter dye, and Odin searches its extensive database of nearly 3,000 organisms to match the unique fingerprint pattern, which can even generate speciesand strain-level IDs.
