Advantages of in-house source tracking capabilities
HSG-AME can train in-house teams to source track
All client facilities are certified to be capable to perform basic to advanced source-tracking exercises.
HSG-AME experts can be assigned to assist in the source-tracking
We can augment your team or lead an investigation
qRT-PCR technologies offer fast results
The highest specificity and sensitivity possible.
Culture methods can be used to verify DNA evidence
Traditional culture methods can be employed to complete a study parameter
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis can assist to geolocate the organisms
HSG-AME can employ NGS technologies to find the geographic origin of the pathogen outbreak.
NGS technologies have advanced so that specific bacteria can be traced to its genetic source to enable exact origination.
Government agencies are slow and generally 'reactive'
In-house teams can isolate the source of the bacterial outbreak faster and with better results for time-sensitive studies
