Microbial Sequencing

Whether you are performing sequencing for discovery, characterization, or routine bacterial identification, Life Technologies provides trusted solutions for microbial sequencing.

Microbial sequencing is performed for a diverse set of applications, such as microbial identification, environmental monitoring, pathogen detection, and routine testing of materials for bacterial contamination.Thermo Fisher sequencing platforms provide the capability and flexibility to accommodate your microbial sequencing needs–from routine microbial identification with the MicroSEQ® system for Sanger Sequencing on the Applied Biosystems® 3500 Genetic Analyzer, to the Ion PGM™ System for microbial genome sequencing and 16S rRNA sequencing typically in less than 1 day.

Microbial Identification by Ion Torrent™ Next-Generation Sequencing

Whole Genome Microbial Sequencing with the Ion PGM™ System

Sequence microbial genomes typically in under 1 day, with 400 bp sequencing for long, accurate reads on the Ion PGM™ System.

Microbial Typing with the Ion PGM™ System

The Ion PGM™ System has a proven history of success at pathogen detection for disease surveillance and outbreak response, providing speed and affordability when it is needed most.
