BACTERIAL IDENTIFICATION

Riboprinter Genetic Identification

PBL can perform microbial id using the RiboPrinter microbial characterization system. Using powerful genetic technology, the system provides a fast and reliable DNA fingerprint, or RiboPrint pattern, of virtually any bacterium. RiboPrint patterns characterize environmental isolates, pathogens, spoilage organism, control strains and other bacteria that are important to the pharmaceutical, medical device and consumer product industries. The RiboPrint system provides an exact genetic pattern of organisms, delivering the unparalleled power to track sources of contamination in raw materials, finished products and the manufacturing environment.

The RiboPrint library includes 6400 patterns, representing 200 bacterial genera and more than 1400 species. Pacific BioLabs will also maintain a library of RiboPrint patterns for each client with volume submissions. For subsequent submissions from the client, both the RiboPrint and client libraries will be searched. The power to track and bacteria increases each time a sample is run. With a comprehensive picture of the microbial environment, the data can be tracked at the strain level, helping to pinpoint sources of contamination with precision and speed.
