Microbiome Profiling Services

Partner with QIAGEN Genomic Services for comprehensive profiling of bacterial and fungal communities

With 16S/ITS Microbiome Profiling Services you can move quickly and confidently from challenging samples to insights. Start your microbiome research project knowing your samples, including human gut, Antarctic soil, ocean water and acidic hot-spring biofilms, will be completely lysed for accurate representation of the microbial content. Additionally, Inhibitor Removal Technology (IRT) removes PCR inhibitors present in your samples, including humic acids, polysaccharides, polyphenolics, lipids and heavy metals, for accurate quantification of nucleic acids and great performance in qPCR and next-generation sequencing. After library preparation, any combination of 16S variable regions and ITS regions can be interrogated using technologies that eliminate the need for PhiX spike-in and decrease background contamination for low DNA input. Metagenome assembly and comparative microbiome profiling are performed with QIAGEN bioinformatics for data interpretation, and a comprehensive report is delivered to you.
