Overview Service Process Examples and Solutions Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

High-throughput strain screening involves the use of automated platforms and sophisticated assays to evaluate a vast number of microbial strains quickly. By leveraging high-throughput technologies, researchers can identify strains with enhanced characteristics such as increased yield, improved tolerance to stress, or optimized metabolic pathways. Our services utilize state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to deliver high-quality screening tailored to your specific requirements.

The experimental method process generally includes the following steps:

Incubation of microbial strains: Firstly, Inoculate various microbial strains into liquid culture medium, cultivate and stir to obtain a single bacterial strain.
High throughput screening: Transfer the cultured microbial strains to a high-throughput screening platform or microplate for rapid screening and analysis of the growth characteristics or product yield of each strain.
Analysis results: Use automated equipment or experimental instruments to quickly read and analyze the strain information in each well, and compare the growth characteristics or product yields between different strains.
Select excellent strains: Based on the screening results, select strains with excellent performance for further cultivation and analysis, in order to obtain strains that meet the requirements for subsequent experiments or applications.

Through this high-throughput strain screening method, microbial strains with specific characteristics or products can be quickly and effectively screened, providing an important experimental basis for the optimization and improvement of microbial fermentation processes.
