Biolog’s powerful carbon source utilization technology accurately identifies
environmental and pathogenic microorganisms by producing a characteristic
pattern or “metabolic fingerprint” from discrete test reactions performed within a
96 well microplate. Culture suspensions are tested with a panel of pre-selected assays,
then incubated, read and compared to extensive databases of environmental
organisms, human pathogens, veterinary pathogens and plant pathogens. e scope
of the 96 assay reactions, coupled with sophisticated interpretation soware, delivers
a high level of accuracy that is comparable to molecular methods. e one minute
per sample set up is much simpler and faster than DNA sequencing and the
automated pattern matching eliminates the need for training and expertise in gene
sequence interpretation
