Eppendorf supports the microbiome workflow, from sample management to sample preparation and analysis to bacterial culture. This workflow takes into account the different growth conditions required for different microbe samples and allows for the monitoring and control of oxygen, pH, temperature, and liquid addition.

In this poster, Eppendorf outlines a microbiome culture workflow covering the diverse culturing needs of gut microbes and the scalable bioprocess systems that are available for culture research to production.
