From a microbiology question to useful results.
FestinaBio defines the testing strategy, manages the laboratory and analysis workflow, and delivers the report and data agreed for your project.
Four clear stages.
Define the Question
Share the sample, project stage, target if known, and decision the results need to support.
We review the organism or community of interest, matrix, required resolution, and intended use.Build the Testing Plan
We recommend the workflow and align on scope before work begins.
The plan defines sample requirements, controls, limitations, analysis, deliverables, and pricing.Send Your Samples
Your team ships the agreed samples and supporting information to the laboratory.
FestinaBio manages intake, preparation, testing, and the agreed quality-control workflow.Receive and Review Results
We complete the analysis and deliver the agreed report and data.
Results are organized around the original project question, with limitations communicated clearly.
How nanopore sequencing can support a project.
Nanopore sequencing reads DNA as it passes through a nanoscale pore, generating sequence information in real time.
Unlike a single-target test that asks whether one predetermined organism is present, a sequencing workflow can support broader identification, community profiling, genomic characterization, and investigation of unexpected organisms. The exact workflow and achievable resolution depend on the sample, preparation, sequencing strategy, and analysis plan.
Useful when the answer is more complex than yes or no.
What microorganisms are present?
Profile a mixed microbial community in a fermentation, product, environmental, or research sample.
Is this species or strain what we expected?
Support culture characterization, species authentication, isolate comparison, or supplier verification.
What changed between samples?
Compare microbial composition across batches, conditions, time points, or development stages.
Could an unexpected organism be involved?
Explore questions where the target is unknown, incomplete, or too broad for a single-target assay.
Built for R&D, product, and investigative work.
Potential applications include food and fermentation, ingredient identity, agriculture, aquaculture and shellfish, environmental monitoring, and academic or grant-funded research.
Not every question requires sequencing. FestinaBio evaluates the project first, then recommends a workflow based on the evidence your team needs.
What do you need the results to help you decide?
Share the project context, even if the organism or method is not yet clear.
