Bacterial service analyses
|
A range of service analyses are available to profit and non-profit customers for the identification and characterization of bacteria. Techniques are chosen case by case taking into account the aim of the assignment. Well-validated and up-to-date in-house databases and specialized software are used for optimal data processing and interpretation. Service reports are included in the price. To order an analysis, contact us and send your samples or isolates with an official (purchase) order form from your company, specifying:
