Precision Microbiome Profiling · PMP™

Powering Microbiome Research and Diagnostics

High-throughput, qPCR-based microbiome profiling for researchers, drug developers and health innovators.

Illustration

Targeted qPCR profiling

Validated assays on Thermo Fisher Scientific’s OpenArray® platform detect selected microbes at species, subspecies and strain level.

Absolute quantification

Results are reported as number of genomes per ng of DNA — not only relative abundance.

Ready-to-use results

No bioinformatics processing is needed on your side. Data arrive ready for interpretation.

PMP™ technology

From samples to interpretable results

PMP™ is a targeted qPCR approach on Thermo Fisher Scientific’s OpenArray® platform — an alternative to sequencing that delivers accurate, detailed microbiome information in a high-throughput format. Projects can cover the full workflow or start from purified DNA.

  1. Step 1

    Sample collection

    Collection kits, such as fecal sampling on filter paper for stable storage and simple shipping.

  2. Step 2

    DNA extraction

    Automated bacterial DNA isolation and quantification following standardised protocols.

  3. Step 3

    PMP™ analysis

    Highly parallelised qPCR on OpenArray® with carefully validated, true-to-target assays.

  4. Step 4

    Results

    Absolute quantification, delivered ready to use — without bioinformatics steps.

How PMP™ works

Biomarker discovery

Technology combined with HUNT4 access

Through a special collaboration with HUNT4 — a large-scale, population-based observational cohort — Bio-Me has access to fecal samples and anonymised medical registries. Combined with PMP™, this supports discovery and validation of novel biomarkers and drug targets.

Individuals with fecal samples
13,300
Health parameters in registries
6,000+

Access through collaboration with HUNT4. Figures as stated by Bio-Me.
