Biological screening and testing service

We offer biological testing service to evaluate biological activities of compounds, small molecules or microbial strains. The services are provided on contract basis.




Available services:

  • Primary test of anti-microbial activity (positive/negative test) of small molecules, biological extracts or microbial strains using agar diffusion method or microplate dilution method at a single concentration (minimum 20 samples)
  • Anti-microbial test to determine minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against microbial targets for small molecules or biological extracts using microplate dilution method performed at six concentrations (minimum 8 samples)
  • Screening of TBRC microbial collection to identify agricultural beneficial microbes, e.g. strains with plant growth promoting properties or biocontrol activity against plant pathogens

Test strains:

  • Human pathogenic bacteria: including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus aureus
  • Plant pathogenic fungi: including Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotricum siamense, Colletotrichum asianum, Alternaria brassicicola, Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora palmivora
  • Customer specified strains (provided by customer or obtained through TBRC isolation service)
