Our approach

Start With the Question, Not a Standard Test

Some projects begin with a known target. Others begin with a broader question: What is in this sample? How is this microbial community changing? Is the organism we expected actually present?

The right test depends on the question. A project may require targeted identification, community profiling, whole-genome characterization, or a broader investigation of unexpected organisms. FestinaBio selects and adapts the workflow to match the sample, required resolution, and intended use of the results.

Our sequencing-based approach can provide more information than a single-target yes-or-no test. FestinaBio manages protocol planning, laboratory testing, data analysis, and reporting, giving your team useful results without purchasing equipment or building a new workflow in-house.

Detect and Identify

Investigate known or suspected pathogens and identify microorganisms in products, processes, and environmental samples.

Characterize Communities

Build a clearer picture of the bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms present in a sample or system.

Understand Isolates

Generate deeper information from microbial isolates to support identification, characterization, and research.

Develop a Method

Evaluate unusual matrices and new applications before committing to a larger testing or research program.

How it works

A Clear Path From Question to Results

You bring the question. FestinaBio helps define the testing strategy, manages the laboratory and analysis workflow, and delivers results your team can use.

  1. Define the Question

    Share the sample, project stage, and decision the results need to support.

  2. Build the Testing Plan

    We align on the workflow, sample requirements, scope, and deliverables.

  3. Send Your Samples

    Your team ships the agreed samples and supporting information to the laboratory.

  4. Receive and Review Results

    We complete the testing and analysis, then deliver the agreed report and data.
