Microbiome Quantification with qMA™ Technology

At Branchpoint Biosciences, we engineered qMA™ - our advanced quantitative Microbial Assays - to deliver absolute precision. From research discovery to industrial quality control, qMA™ provides reliable data to drive decisions.

qMA™ Advantage

Our platform delivers rapid, accurate, and scalable quantification of target microorganisms. Whether validating a product or exploring a complex ecosystem, qMA™ empowers teams to achieve precise, reproducible results.

Targeted Resolution

Strain and species specificity

qPCR assays capable of high specificity phylogenetic resolution:
strain ➔ species ➔ genus

Superior Sensitivity

Detect Low-Abundance Microbes

Reliably detect target organisms with as few as 10 copies per reaction. Ideal for finding trace contaminants or rare microbes.

Rapid Integration & Results

Compatibility

Pre-mixed for seamless integration with widely available qPCR platforms and commercial master mixes.

Multiplexing Capability

Simultaneous Quantification

Quantify multiple targets in a single reaction. Maximize throughput while preserving valuable samples.

Absolute Quantification

Exact Microbial Counts

Determine exact target counts, not relative abundance. Essential data for compliance and tracking.

Cost-Effective & Scalable

Significant Cost Savings

Significantly more cost-effective than NGS. Enables large-scale screening and routine quality control.

Versatile Applications for Every Stage

Custom Multiplex Reactions Maximize Data Output

Combine up to 4 targets per reaction. Choose from 400+ validated assays or request custom designs.

Body-Site Specific Panels Monitor Health & Efficacy

Ready-to-use panels for Oral, Vaginal, and Gut microbiomes. Track dysbiosis or validate intervention efficacy.

Targeted Screening Panels Scale & Validate

Screen large cohorts or production lots with precision. Validate biomarkers and contaminants with confidence.

Strain-Specific Tracking Proprietary Monitoring

Custom assays to track specific strains. Essential for manufacturing QC, pharmacokinetics, and engraftment studies.

Our Commitment to Quality and Innovation

We’re dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable assays that deliver consistent results. Our rigorous validation process ensures that every primer and probe meets the highest performance standards.

In silico validation

Screened against 1,000s of microbial genomes

In vitro validation

Laboratory confirmation of accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity in complex, natural controls
