Our Services for Performance Evaluation of Strains
Strain Characterization and Validation
- Growth Rate Analysis: We determine the growth kinetics of strains by monitoring cell density over time.
- Metabolic Activity Assessment: We evaluate the metabolic activity of strains by measuring key metabolites, such as glucose consumption, product formation, and byproduct accumulation.
- Genetic Stability Testing: We ensure the genetic stability of engineered strains by analyzing the persistence of desired genetic modifications over multiple generations.
Performance Optimization
- Rational Design: We employ computational modeling and simulation tools to design and predict the performance of engineered strains.
- Directed Evolution: Through iterative rounds of mutagenesis and screening, we harness the power of natural selection to evolve strains with improved characteristics. Our high-throughput screening platforms enable the identification of high-performing variants, leading to the selection of strains with enhanced productivity, stability, and robustness.
High-Throughput Screening
- Library Construction: We generate diverse strain libraries through techniques such as random mutagenesis, DNA shuffling, or error-prone PCR. These libraries enable the exploration of genetic diversity and provide a resource for screening high-performing variants.
- Automated Screening Platforms: We utilize advanced liquid handling robotics and high-throughput analytics to streamline the screening process. By automating sample handling and data acquisition, we increase throughput, reduce human error, and expedite the identification of strains with desired characteristics.
- Data Analysis and Interpretation: Our bioinformaticians apply powerful statistical analysis and data visualization tools to interpret the large datasets generated from high-throughput screening.
Data Analysis and Interpretation
- Bioinformatics Analysis: We employ advanced bioinformatics tools to analyze genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data.
- Statistical Modeling: We apply statistical modeling techniques to analyze experimental data, assess variability, and determine the significance of observed differences.
- Comprehensive Reporting: We provide detailed reports summarizing the results of strain evaluation, including graphical representations, statistical analyses, and actionable recommendations.
