2 Million Uniform Preps for a Consistent Point of Reference

figure of truMatrix fecal labeled 200 bottles multiplied by 1000 vials with an image of a vial above and the multiplied by 10 uses per vial which equals 2 million possibilites — Manufactured from a single well-homogenized fecal collection, 2 million uniform preps can support studies for years to come.

High Microbial Diversity

Unrivaled Stability

a bar graph comparing 6 runs — The microbial profile of the fecal reference is protected from degradation and changes, guaranteeing a consistent reference point for your data. Six shotgun sequencing runs were performed revealing consistent and stable microbial profiles.

To facilitate increased accuracy of microbiome measurements and improve data reproducibility across labs, this product was developed to act as a single point of reference. In order to build a publicly available reference database, experts in the field are currently working together to characterize the fecal reference using various microbiome measurements. A platform for users to anonymously share, download, and compare characterization results against different applied methodologies is also in development.
