Solutions
Neoprospecta developed a new concept in molecular analysis of
micro-organisms: The Bioguardian System.
The Bioguardian is a modular system composed
of molecular and computational protocols with
the objective to provide accurate, sensitive
and highly specic diagnostics and
analysis of micro-organisms in a
great variety of sample
types and in large
BIOGUARDIAN
Solutions
Bioguardian System
has 6 main modules:
1) Analysis and typing of all bacteria found
in a sample through16s large scale sequencing
2) Full and analysis genome sequencing
3) and analysis Metagenome sequencing
4) Antibiotic resistance gene identication
5) Quick in clinical and diagnostic of antibiotic resistant bacteria
environmental samples
6) Quick micro-organisms diagnostic

Bioprospecting
Neoprospecta also develop activities in
bioprospecting new enzymes and peptides
from the . Brazilian biodiversity
The company has already conducted expeditions to
intact regions of the , searching for new Amazon forest
molecules.
There are an in-house database of more than of 300 gigabases
new sequences obtained through deep next-generation
sequencing of from the Amazon forest. soil metagenome
Molecules under analysis in this dataset include new enzymes and
antimicrobial peptides.
