Optimize your knowledge and strengthen your product

Learn more about the effect of your product with insight into the microbiome

At Unseen Bio, we are experts in microbiome analyses and microbiome data.

Through our renowned microbiome testing, we have unique knowledge about the microbiome and how it is affected. We want to share this knowledge, as we believe in scientific collaboration, which can help our partners create even better products based on scientific findings.

We have developed a dynamic solution where you can cost-effectively see the results of your product's impact in just a few months.

We have a scientific approach and want to contribute to development.

We are eager to explore, test and develop products with you.

We handle the practicalities so you can focus on the problem.

Paula Molina Polls - Bioinformatician

"I find the microbiome exciting because it's basically present everywhere, yet so hidden.

There's a kind of mystery to it - how something so influential is still not fully understood.

It offers many opportunities for discovery and innovation!"

Examine the effect of your product

If you produce food, beverages or dietary supplements and want to investigate how your product affects the microbiome, you have the opportunity to collaborate with Unseen Bio.

As a manufacturer, it is important to make sure that your product has the real claimed effect on the gut, because the microbiome plays a major role in our overall health.

With data analysis of the microbiome, you can learn more about this. However, clinical trials can be time- and resource-intensive and are often very tied up in a restrictive environment.

With our established microbiome consumer test, you can easily and quickly get started investigating how your product affects the microbiome based on your test subjects' normal everyday life and lifestyle.

You get a scientific data base in the microbiome and can thus support that your product has the real claimed effect, so you can create even better products and ensure customer satisfaction.

An easy way to incorporate microbiome data into your product development.

What we offer

Full support and end-to-end solution

We offer full service setup and an end-to-end solution, where we help with everything from recruiting test subjects to delivering

tests for data analysis, visualizations and publishing.

Fast delivery time

Forget about long waits for large, complex reports.

With us you get insight immediately.

With our established consumer testing setup, we can deliver a turnaround time of up to 14 days, and you will have access to the data as soon as the first test results arrive.

Unique access to niche data

You get access to all project data through our user-friendly and interactive partner platform, which allows you to manage your samples and explore the data you have generated with us via our clear and easy-to-understand dashboards, and data can be freely exported.

Research and development

Create better products with a deeper understanding of how your product affects the microbiome by testing the product in real-world situations in close contact with the end user.

We have linked metadata to our microbiome data, so you get important background knowledge about your test subjects.

Upgrade your knowledge

Would you like to strengthen your dataset with an expanded reference group?

you can purchase access to a larger part of our enormous database of reference data.

Our analysis method

We offer in vivo and in vitro microbiome analyses.

Our standard analysis is shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which offers superior performance, detecting over 4500 species, as opposed to more traditional methods that look at a more limited range. Shotgun sequencing is considered the gold standard in research that enables publication.

We currently provide species-level resolution across three taxonomic levels and 2 gigabases of data per sample.

Depending on your project, we can zoom in on individual subspecies, branch out to additional taxa, investigate functional profiles, and adjust sequencing depth. Nanopore, 16S RNA, and qPCR analyses can be performed as needed.

We care about data quality and always ensure that data is compatible with relevant metadata.

We naturally cooperate with certified European laboratories.

DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 certified
