Description: The ZymoBIOMICS Oral Microbiome Standard is a an accurately quantified microbial community mimicking the human oral microbiome. The challenges it presents to microbiomics profiling allows researchers to validate protocols and fine-tune them for oral microbiome research and act as a positive control for sample processing.
Accurate representation: Comprised of 12 different strains to mimic the human oral microbiome.
Precise composition: allows for benchmarking and validation of NGS microbiome workflows.
Assess bias in DNA isolation: contains both Gram-positive and negative bacteria sorted in a staggered abundance to assess profiling bias and detection limits.
