Send us Your Strain

Give us the problematic bacterium or have us isolate it from the sample you provide.

Screen

We will screen our well-characterized library of therapeutic phages that kill many pathogenic species of bacteria.

Search

If we don’t have the phage, we will ask Mother Nature for help. In this phase, we search environmental reservoirs (soil, water, sewage, bodily fluids—you name it!) for phages that are effective against your strain.

Identify

We identify lead candidates, evaluate their effectiveness, and pick the best ones to purify.

Purify

We scale up, use several techniques to purify, and test the purity of the phage. This gives us a clear picture of the product for the next stage of development: Characterization.
