Identification of microorganisms by DNA sequencing

By identifying base sequence of 16S ribosomal DNA, it is possible to classify microorganisms.



Analysis of amino acid composition in cells

We analyze amino acid composition in samples using automatic amino acid analyzer.

Image analysis by confocal / fluorescence microscope

We perform image analysis with software to quantify fluorescence intensity from fluorescence image
