Testing designed around what you need to learn.
From a suspected pathogen to an entire microbial community, FestinaBio develops practical testing approaches for your sample, project, and decision.
A focused answer, not a standard panel.
Pathogen Detection and Identification
Investigate known, suspected, or unexpected microorganisms in products, processes, and environmental samples.
Microbial Community Characterization
Build a clearer picture of the bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms present in a fermentation, product, ingredient, or environmental system.
Microbial Isolate Characterization
Generate deeper information from individual microbial isolates to support identification, comparison, product development, and research.
Method Development and Feasibility Studies
Evaluate unusual matrices, emerging organisms, and new applications before committing to a larger testing or research program.
Microbiology questions across products and environments.
Food, Beverage, and Fermentation
Characterize starter cultures, investigate process changes, and better understand complex microbial communities.
Ingredient and Species Identity
Support supplier verification, species authentication, and investigation of unexpected biological material.
Agriculture and Aquaculture
Investigate organisms affecting crops, soil, irrigation systems, shellfish, and pre-harvest operations.
Environmental Monitoring
Explore microbial conditions in water, facilities, vessels, production environments, and other complex matrices.
Research and Product Development
Develop and test new workflows for grant-funded research, early product programs, proof-of-concept studies, and questions without a preset target.
The right technology for the question.
FestinaBio selects the testing approach based on the target, sample matrix, required resolution, and intended use of the results.
When a project benefits from broad identification, community profiling, genomic characterization, or real-time sequencing, nanopore technology may be part of the workflow. It supports the work; it does not define every project.

We will help determine whether a standard workflow, adapted protocol, or feasibility study is the best first step.
