Precision Microbiome Profiling

Bio-Me has developed a novel gut microbiome analysis tool in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, called Precision Microbiome Profiling (PMP). PMP offers a targeted approach to microbiome analysis/profiling using qPCR technology. It enables the analysis of 100 – 200 samples in 2 hours according to the company. The technology allows Bio-Me to deliver a test that has the potential to meet the requirements for clinical diagnostic applications.
