Service that utilizes microscopy to determine if your culture is dikaryotic or monokaryotic. Customers will mail in their samples and after processing will receive an email with documentation regarding verification results. Culture bank account holders receive this service at a discounted rate. Our focus is on tetrapolar basidiomycete gourmet and medicinal fungi, widely used in the industry. Ascomycete homokaryon and heterokaryon verifications are a separate service that will be offered at a later time. However, we do not engage with any pathogenic or biologically hazardous strains.
Monokaryon Verification Service
Our Monokaryon Verification Service provides a crucial step for researchers seeking to ensure the purity state of their fungal cultures. This service allows clients to confirm the monokaryotic status of their isolates, which is essential for accurate genetic analysis and breeding purposes.
Key Features
Identification and Validation - We utilize microscopy techniques to verify the monokaryotic state of your samples, ensuring that you are working with haploid cultures. This step is vital for successful breeding and hybridization.
Detailed Reporting- Clients receive comprehensive documentation detailing the verification results. This documentation is essential for maintaining accurate records in research and development.
Discounted Rates for Clients- Account holders of the Culture Bank enjoy a reduced fee for this service, allowing for cost-effective access to essential verification processes.
Turnaround time: within 24 hours of receipt of specimens.
Why Monokaryon Verification is Important
The accuracy of sequencing, hybridization, and breeding efforts relies heavily on the monokaryotic state of the cultures. Confirming that you have true monokaryons allows for the optimization of genetic study and breeding.
