- Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
We use a next-generation sequencer (MiSeq, Illumina) to conduct microbial community structure analysis (microbiome profiling). We also estimate species diversity such as rarefaction curves and Shannon indexes to understanding microbial consortium.

- Quantitative PCR (real-time PCR)
From universal quantification of eubacteria/archaea to quantification of specific microbes such as nitrifying bacteria and methanogens. We can also develop/customize methods to detect desired microorganisms.

- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
Analysis of the abundance and spatial distribution of specific microorganisms using a fluorescence microscope. We can also develop/customize methods.

- Cloning library analysis
We also support conventional clone library with Sanger sequence.

- Microbial identification
Identification of isolated microorganisms using 16S rRNA(bacteria)/ITS(fungi) gene sequencing.

- General bacteria / heterotrophic bacteria
- Total bacterial count (microscopic observation)
- Coliform bacteria / Escherichia coli, fecal Escherichia coli, O-157
- Legionella
- Clostridium perfringens, anaerobic spore-forming bacteria
- E. coli phage
- Nitrifying bacteria, sulfur -oxidizing bacteria, iron bacteria, sulfur -oxidizing bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria
- Airborne microbes
- Other microbial tests based on official methods and literature

We conduct a variety of microbial tests.
- Disinfection/antimicrobial tests against fungi, bacteria and bacteriophage
- Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC)
- Nitrification / denitrification rate test
- Biogas potential test (vial tests/ continuous test using max.10-L reactors)
- Other various vial/reactor tests
