Microbiome

BA Sciences provides all of the identity, purity, and potency analyses needed for microbiome drug product characterization. This work has supported drug developers on their path to clinical trials for exciting new drugs to treat diseases associated with gut microbial imbalance.

We have a proven track record on a variety of microbiome programs, including both spore fraction and defined drug product manufacturing processes. BA Sciences’s expert microbiologists can help define the entire testing regime, including microbiome environmental program qualifications and molecular assay design.

BA Sciences has invested in the latest equipment for microbiome microbial characterization, including a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for microbial identification, a Roche LightCycler® for qPCR, and multiple anaerobic work stations (ambient and incubator spaces available). We can work with you to tailor a program that will help you successfully develop your drug product monitoring.
