DNA species identification: Purity testing of fungi
€ 199,00
Description
Benefit from our independent, DNA-based analysis of your fungal cultures and products.
Strengthen your quality assurance with DNA-based testing to complement conventional morphological assessment.
“Is this the species stated?”
Why use DNA-based verification?
- Verification of the identity of fungal species or taxa
- Checking for contamination with other fungi
- Prevention of misidentification
- Documentation of breeding lines and strains: a DNA sequence is a molecular fingerprint
- Batch control: comparison of starter cultures, intermediate products and end products
- Protection against counterfeiting, genetic characterisation of cultures/strains
- Linking molecular data with strain, batch and production information
- Building customer trust: Issue a DNA-based certificate
=> Stronger marketing: ‘DNA-authenticated’ and ‘molecularly verified’ convey a meaningful, evidence-based message of quality
What are we investigating?
DNA purity test: ‘Is the culture free from other fungi?’
Analysis of the culture using metabarcoding to detect the presence of other fungal taxa.
✅ Specified species detected
❌ Other fungal taxa detected
❌ Relevant contamination detected
Result: Certificate with the classification ‘PASS’ / ‘FOR REVIEW’ / ‘FAIL’.
How does it work?
Client testimonial
“The results of the DNA analyses are thoroughly convincing. As reliable evidence in our communications with customers, they are simply unbeatable for us.”
On request
DNA-certified batch: ‘Has this specific batch been molecularly authenticated?’
Each DNA profile is linked to information on the strain, batch and production. This supports traceability.
Result: DNA-based batch certificate
