You want to assure your customers that your products contain exactly what is on your label. The DNA sequencing facility at Exact Scientific Services provides you with robust full genome-based identification of fish, meat, botanicals, probiotics, and microbes using the very latest Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Unlike many other facilities, we comprehensively sequence all the DNA present in your sample to give you actionable information about all species represented. Our scientists have spent over twenty years refining these techniques and use innovative technology to analyze the genetic content of your sample and provide you with real time consultation to put that information in context.  

Our DNA sequence analysis is powered by our very own custom bioinformatics software tools. Custom analysis allows us to tailor the data analysis to suit the unique needs of your sample types. Our on-site bioinformatician will always be available to walk you through each aspect of understanding your data. 

How does the non-target whole sample method work?

Our approach is to directly sequence DNA extracted from a sample, bypassing the traditional PCR amplification of targeted genes or regions within the DNA. The distinct advantage of this method is that well known problems with the amplification step, such as amplification bias and false positives, can be avoided. An added advantage to the non-targeted approach is that trace contaminants and unexpected inclusions can be more easily discriminated from true adulterations. We have developed a proprietary data analysis pipeline to streamline identifications, utilizing this approach to ensure accuracy.
