1 | Microbiome (Nanopore) | 16S profiling using the Nanopore third-generation sequencing platform. | 500 CNY/sample | 20 business days |
Common microbiome methods include amplicon sequencing (16S, ITS and 18S) and metagenomic sequencing. The original description notes limits of conventional 16S profiling for species-level identification and functional interpretation, and the sequencing and computational costs of metagenomics. It describes SMURF/5R, a multiplex PCR approach covering five 16S hypervariable regions, as a route to species-level resolution. According to the source, its amplified regions cover approximately 68% of the full-length 16S sequence and the method has appeared in more than 30 international publications, including Cell, Science and Nature Communications.

Lifeint provides EV research and application services from sample preparation, isolation and characterization to omics, functional studies, modification and scale-up. It jointly established a biomedical technology centre with Xiamen University School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, built process-development laboratories to GMP standards, and contributed to an EV expert consensus. Its service records cover more than 300 plant species.
