Microbial Characterization – Results Analysis

Accugenix Microbial Characterization Reports include your sample code, the 2 banding patterns resulting from digestions of the isolate with EcoRI and PVUII, as well as the RiboGroup® to which the isolate is assigned.

The greatest value of Microbial Characterization testing lies in the comparison of samples to one another.  Upon request, Accugenix will perform comparisons on your samples to provide you with the information you need.  Simply call our Technical Support group to discuss your needs.  At Accugenix, custom comparisons are performed at no additional cost.

A Microbial Characterization Comparison Report displays the sample information and Riboprint® patterns for each sample requested.  The sample at the top of the list is selected as the pattern that subsequent samples are compared to.  A pattern similarity value is calculated for each sample displayed in the Comparison Report.  The patterns of both enzyme cuts are included in one Comparison Report.  An Accugenix Data Analyst will provide a summary interpretation of the samples’ similarity.
