Biolog PreBioM MicroPlate product line

Cell Biosciences has launched the Biolog PreBioM MicroPlate product line for microbiome analysis and organism selection. The microplates are designed to enable phenotypic characterisation of individual organisms and communities typically found in the gut microbiome, providing insights into microbial behaviour and interactions and allowing researchers to study and produce new probiotics.

The microplates feature a curated selection of prebiotic substrates, ranging from simple sugars to complex dietary fibres. The diverse array of substrates, pre-arrayed on the plates, offers a powerful tool for interrogating the influence of different prebiotics on microbial growth and activity.

When used in conjunction with Biolog’s Odin platform, the microplates enable functional characterisation of living communities of organisms, with data analysis tools that mine the richness of kinetic data, providing insight into how diverse populations change over time or in response to various treatments.
