Universal Molecular Identification

The Universal Molecular Identification (UMID) allows to identify the present microorganisms even if the sample is not a pure culture. It displays the direct semi-quantitative state of the microbial community.

So: Simply send samples

 

Properties of the UMID Technique

  • all microorganisms in the sample may be identified
  • the identification is performed without foreknowledge about the type of microorganisms
  • no distraction or influence of the microbial community by the type of culturing
  • unknown contaminating microorganisms may be classified

Application Areas

  • environmental samples, e.g. water body samples, drinking water, soil samples, sediments, biofilms
  • samples from geological measurement stations
  • biogas plants or facilities for the fermentation of mixed populations
  • damages by microbially influenced corrosion (MIC)
  • industrial filling or coating facilities
  • quality control of equipment, raw materials or products
  • find sources of contamination in facilities or products
  • starting point for the development of on-site tests
  • moulds on wallpapers, wood or in silicone joints
  • medical sample material with mixed infections
  • and many more

 

Possible Targets

AMODIA offers several different variations of universal and group-specific analysis which differ in the respective target genes:

  • Bacteria
  • Fungi
  • Group of Methanogens
  • Group of Sulfate Reducers
  • Group of Sulfur Oxidizers

 

On request AMODIA develops group-specific systems according to customer-specific requirements. Please inquire for more information! To select the target best suited for your needs please get in contact.
