Why is Microbial Identification Important?
Harmful bacteria and fungi can contaminate raw materials, production facilities, and branded products. Regulatory expectations include accurate identification of environmental isolates to support active environmental monitoring programs within pharmaceutical manufacturing environments as part of cGMP, and to implement accurate Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) for products and processes to reduce the risk of contamination. The US, European, and Japanese Pharmacopeia guidelines recommend genotypic microbial identification of bacteria and fungi at the species level. The comparative gene sequence analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has been shown to have the highest accuracy of microbial identification system technologies and has been considered the gold standard for microbial identification for over a decade.

Go Molecular. The Answer Is in the DNA
It's time to take microbial identification to the next level. It's time to partner with the proven leader in rapid molecular methods. It's time for the MicroSEQ® Rapid Microbial Identification System in your QC Microbiology lab. Built on years of molecular expertise, this system delivers unparalleled accuracy and time to results for bacterial and fungal identifications in one easy-to-use platform.
- Accurate genotypic bacterial identification based on the 16S rRNA gene
- Accurate genotypic fungal identification based on the D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene
- Easy workflow, high throughput, accurate results typically in less than five hours
- Fully validated and implemented in as few as four months
- Enables 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
Step-by-Step Guide to Microbial Identification & Detection Products
Extract DNA from bacteria or fungi using the PrepMan ® Ultra sample preparation reagent. Your sample can be a single colony or a pure culture. The ideal colony size is 1-2 mm for bacteria and 3 mm for fungi. The DNA you extract in this step will be your template for the PCR step.
