End-to-end research service

An increasing number of researchers have discovered the efficiency and simplicity of GA-map® in microbiota analysis. We offer a unique, highly standardized platform, featuring an end-to-end workflow for targeted microbiota analysis. We provide services tailored for all types of clinical research.

GA-map® Dysbiosis Test is a CE-IVD approved microbiota test for detection and characterization of dysbiosis in human fecal samples, providing microbiota profiling with an intrinsic healthy reference.

GA-map® Discovery is a comprehensive microbiota profiling assay for Research Use Only, providing deep insight into gut and oral microbiota, based on analysis of over 170 clinically important bacteria.

GA-map® COVID-19 Fecal Test is a CE-IVD test for detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in human fecal samples.

The GA-map® Dysbiosis Test has until now been applied in clinical research in the fields of gastroenterology and metabolic disorders. Explorethe full publication list below.

Your research project timeline

Step 1: Study design consultancy

Our experienced team will help you decide the perfect study set up, sample collection solution, and choose the right analyses.

Step 2: Sample collection and shipment

We run microbiota analyses on fecal samples, saliva samples, or pre-extracted gDNA. We assist you with solutions for easy sample collection.

Step 3: Sample analysis

We run the study samples according to agreed protocol and timeline. We pride ourselves on the complete sample workflow and short turnaround.

Step 4: Data analysis

GA-map® results are easy to interpret and require no data storage capacity. Bioinformatic analysis is performed upon request.

We used GA-map® in our clinical research within IBS. We have great experience with GA-map® as a tool to select, monitor and follow-up patients.
