Why bioMérieux?
People Behind the Science
Our dedicated team of genomics experts boasts diverse backgrounds and experiences, with many holding PhDs and achieving worldwide recognition. They have published numerous articles on topics such as metagenomics, bioinformatics, and rDNA sequencing.
Pathogen Mapping
Detecting a foodborne pathogen is just the beginning, understanding the source and characteristics of contamination is essential to prevent recurrence. With bioMérieux, you can effortlessly combine the routine simplicity of GENE-UP™ Typer with the comprehensive power of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and Pathogen Mapping. This integrated approach provides deep insights into contamination events, empowering you to be proactive and maintain the highest standards of safety and quality.
Pathogen Mapping offers clear and actionable insights into your genomic data. Our bioinformatics experts simplify complex genomics results into focused reports that address your primary concerns:
- identifying the strain,
- recognizing if it has been encountered before,
- understanding its characteristics,
- and determining effective measures to eliminate it.
Each investigation concludes with an online meeting where results are presented, ensuring you fully grasp the findings and can implement informed strategies to handle contaminants effectively.
The Service
Spoiler Mapping
When positive samples are detected in finished products, it's crucial to identify the contaminant and trace its origin. Our comprehensive genomics and bioinformatics services can provide precise answers to these critical questions.
By pinpointing the source and characteristics of contaminants, spoiler mapping helps you take swift and effective action to eliminate risks and maintain the highest standards of quality, supporting your brand’s commitment to trustworthiness and reliability.
Go Further With Custom Molecular Assays
After you identify your spoiler, rely on our xPRO™ Program to develop your own personalized assay to target these spoilers.
