Identify the species behind your sample
Sanger sequencing of organism specific, defined DNA barcode regions is still state-of-the-art for speciation analyses and widely used in the scientific community (e.g. also from the Barcode of Life Consortium) and for quality control in industry.
With our full service offers or our services à la carte, we can specify every sample from every matrix acc. to your demands. Just select the service you need and order
- Microbial Barcoding for bacteria and fungi
- Animal Barcoding for landvertebrates, fishes and seafood
- Plant Barcoding
- Insect Barcoding
All analyses are carried out by our ISO 17025:2005 (D-PL-13372-01-00) accredited laboratory.

Identify the bacterial/fungal species in your sample
Sequencing of 16S rRNA or ITS helps to determine the bacterial or fungal species in your pure or mixed culture.
The bacterial 16S rRNA and the fungal ITS region are considered as the DNA barcodes for reliable microbial speciation and numerous sequences were deposited in the public NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) and Barcode of Life Databases (BOLD).
Our full service for microbial DNA Barcoding includes:
- DNA extraction from pure cultures
- Amplification of bacterial 16S rDNA (~1,400bp) or fungal ITS region (500-600 bp)
- Double-strand DNA sequencing
- BLAST search
- Preparation of an official report
Additionally, we offer genetic fingerprinting / subtyping of bacteria and fungi by our broad range of genotyping services. Just contact us if you are interested in this field.
Specify the animal, plant or insect material you have
Profit from our long experience in species identification by DNA barcoding of thousands of samples per year in the fields of research, forensics, food, pharma and many more.
We are using all known and well accepted DNA barcode regions for speciation, e.g. by the public NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) and Barcode of Life Databases (BOLD).
Our full service for DNA Barcoding of animals, plants and insects includes:
- DNA extraction from animal (tissue, blood, saliva, buccal swabs etc.), plant (leaves, seedlings, fruits, etc.) and insect (muscles, legs, etc.) material
- Amplification of specific DNA barcode regions optimized for animals, plants and insects
- Double-strand DNA sequencing
- BLAST search
- Preparation of an official report
Additionally, we offer genetic fingerprinting of animals, plants and insects by our broad range of genotyping services. Just contact us if you are interested in this field.
