Technology: Strain Typing

Differentiate Strain Types

• Perform high resolution epidemiology by Optical Mapping
• Characterize and monitor strain stability
• Trace and link outbreak and contamination strains to source
• Distinguish strains and determine genetic relatedness between multiple isolates via Map-based clustering
• Analyze microbial mixtures for quality control and process manufacturing

Optical Maps provide hundreds of ordered markers across the entire genome enabling superior strain discrimination when compared to traditional strain typing technologies such as PFGE.

Map based similarity clustering precisely distinguishes strains and describes relatedness between isolates.
