MicroSEQ Microbial Identification Software

Accurate identification at species level

Applied Biosystems MicroSEQ Microbial Identification Software is part of the integrated workflow for the identification and classification of bacterial and fungal sequences for scientists working in a QC microbiology laboratory setting. The software is used to collect, analyze, and compare sequence data to the species level.

MicroSEQ Microbial Identification Software 4.0

Identify and classify your bacterial or fungal sequence using the latest, feature-rich release of our tried-and-true analysis software, specifically designed for the Applied Biosystems SeqStudio family of genetic analyzers. MicroSEQ Identification Software 4.0 allows users to leverage the advanced features of the SeqStudio systems while also helping meet regulatory requirements to enable 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

  • Fully integrated workflow solution—set up and run plates using the SeqStudio genetic analyzers and Applied Biosystems MicroSEQ microbial identification assay kits.
  • Helps meet regulatory requirements—using Security, Audit, and E-Signature (SAE) software features and compliance services
  • Trust the largest validated and curated database for bacteria and fungi—more than 12,000 strain types
  • Improved accuracy—using advanced algorithms for base calling and microbial detection
  • Comprehensive data management and reporting—includes archive, backup/restore functions, and customizable sample and project reporting

 

MicroSEQ ID species libraries—Not all databases are created equal

One of the keys to accurate microbial identification, and the engine driving MicroSEQ ID, is a robust and powerful database. We don't just collect data from other sources. We validate our own findings and confirm accuracy of all entries. The MicroSEQ ID System is built on meticulously curated collections of organisms—more than 12,000 strains—validated by our own scientists and collaborators using multiple techniques to enable accurate identification

Validated:

Validation icon

Thermo Fisher Scientific conducts a rigorous validation process for accurate taxonomic information of new and existing bacterial and fungal species. From sequence information entry, genus and species level validation, to revalidation of existing MicroSEQ library entries—all done by trained personnel—you are offered one of the most comprehensive, accurate, reliable libraries available for your Pharma QC testing.

Curated:

We closely evaluate our libraries and curate for what really matters to our pharma QC customers—quality and accuracy.  We have increased the number of Candida, Cladosproium, Aspergillus, and added species for 223 new genera into our fungal database. We partner with the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, for the latest and most reliable sequence information for mycological identification and classification.

Updated:
