Microbial Characterization

Need to identify and track sources of microbial contamination at the strain level?
The UNL-BPDF can help.

The RiboPrinter® microbial characterization system provides a rapid, standardized method of characterizing and identifying microbial contaminants efficiently and consistently. Using this technology, UNL-BPDF can help you get better control of your process and environment.

The system creates a genetic fingerprint of any bacterium and compares it against a database to characterize environmental isolates, pathogens, spoilage organisms, control strains, beneficial organisms or any bacterium from samples important to the pharmaceutical, personal care, and food safety industries. Searching below the species level, it is not only able to identify bacteria but also the relatedness of samples.

The UNL-BPDF RiboPrinter system is fully validated and operates in a GLP laboratory.
