New advancements in food testing and detection systems are being driven by omics to ensure a better food production, quality and traceability.
Omics allow for the identification of any microorganism in any matrix, certifying the origin of foods or prevent the theft of genetic material. Also, fermentation processes can be enhanced through bacterial strains identification and engineering. We enable better access to omics through bioinformatics software, tailored analyses and customized solutions.
SOLUTIONS FOR FOOD TESTING
Food contamination
Low traces or hard to detect contaminants can be better identified by metagenomics.
Food traceability
Food origins can be determined with high precision through metagenomics approaches.
Food fermentation
Manufacturing processes involving bacterias can be enhanced through omics-based strains identification and engineering.

RELATED CLOUD SOFTWARE
GAIA is a highly reliable and versatile metagenomics data analysis software. It performs taxonomic and functional analyses, delivering clear and precise results. GAIA works with Amplicon (16S/18S/ITS), Shotgun and metatranscriptomics data from any type of sample (including human, soil and water microbiomes), any sequencing platform (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore), and any type of organism (prokaryotes, eukaryotes and viruses).
GAIA is user-friendly, cloud-based and dynamic. It can be used by anyone, since it doesn’t require any coding skills or computational infrastructure; and enables experimental design, results navigation, real time comparisons, data re-analysis and storage.
GAIA can answer several questions:
- Which species are present in my samples?
- Which gene functions are present in my samples?
- Which species are responsible for a specific function in my samples?
