DNA assay for microbial identification

DNA analysis for microbial identification allows for the detection, quantification, and precise identification of microorganisms present in a complex matrix. This molecular biology method is particularly useful in the environmental, agri-food, cosmetics, and fermentation sectors, as well as for validating microbial ingredients in human and animal nutrition.

The analysis typically relies on total DNA extraction, followed by targeted amplification using PCR (quantitative or real-time) or sequencing (NGS, metagenomics). It allows for the identification of specific species (bacteria, yeasts, fungi), the detection of probiotic or pathogenic strains, and the assessment of a sample's microbial diversity. This method is particularly well-suited to complex or heat-treated matrices, where conventional culture methods are limited.

Typical matrices include: fermented foods, probiotic supplements, biotechnology-derived ingredients, cosmetic products, plant or marine raw materials, water, etc.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a carefully selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the required analytical techniques or methods.
If you have any particular requirements, please do not hesitate to specify them in your request: our scientific team will do everything possible to respond accurately and promptly.
Since 2020, numerous manufacturers, distributors, and engineering firms have entrusted us with the management of their analyses, sending us their samples through our digital platform.
