Simply Managing Complex Data
We’re happy to share a new publication from our collaborators at the Laboratory of Microbiology of the University of Neuchâtel. The article highlights the effectiveness of SmartGene's Centroid-based approach in combating food fraud.
Food fraud is a big challenge in the food industry, and morel mushrooms are no exception. Traditional methods to identify true morels often lack accuracy. Using SmartGene's proprietary, curated reference databases, the authors achieved an impressive 83% accuracy in identifying morel species, compared to just 36% and 47% using traditional tools.
Laboratory Accreditation: Ensuring Quality and Competence in Testing
Dr Coralie Kerestedjan-Pallier, Hospital Practicioner in France, who recently achieved COFRAC accreditation, attests to the effectiveness of our solution and the value of SmartGene's Customer Support Team in providing assistance and documentation for the SmartGene Apps during their recent accreditation process:
Version 35 of the ANRS HIV-1 and Version 31 of the ANRS HIV-2 algorithms have been implemented for the SmartGene IDNS® Apps.
The HIV genotypic drug resistance algorithm within SmartGene for Stanford HIVDB has been updated.

Promega's workflow solutions for sample extraction through sequencing, together with SmartGene's convenient and action-oriented analysis Apps, offer an accessible alternative to outsourcing sequence-based identification of organisms. SmartGene's Web Apps guide the user from .ab1 files to final report generation, requiring no local hardware, specific software, nor bioinformatics staff. A new White Paper is now available, A Sample-to-Action Solution for Microbial identification: Sequencing on the [Promega] Spectrum Compact CE System with SmartGene Analysis.
Reliable and reproducible microbiome testing in clinical practice requires standardization of methods and comprehensive, representative, up-to-date reference databases. In a new article published in PLOS One, read how SmartGene's BiomeScan Apps for Microbiome analysis and SmartGene's proprietary Centroid reference databases can meet these needs.
