Entomological DNA identification tests as materials for investigating the causes of insect contamination and formulating countermeasures.
Identification of insect species through DNA analysis. There have been successful test results obtained even from larvae and parts of insects that are difficult to identify based on morphology!
Our company offers insect DNA identification testing, which matches the DNA of samples with a database to report the species of insects. 【Features of the Test】 ◆ Overwhelming Number of Species Covered The reference insect DNA database currently contains over 67,000 registered species. Therefore, for major insects, identification is possible by comparing with the registered DNA. Even if a species is not registered, identification at the order or family level is still possible. ◆ High Identification Probability to Solve Customer Issues The identification probability from insects is relatively high at 70% to 80%, and the fresher the sample, the higher the likelihood of successful identification. ◆ Reliable Test Results We report identification results after screening for any inconsistencies in the DNA information. Since some public databases may contain incorrect DNA information, directly listing the five species with the highest match rate can sometimes lead to contradictory results. *For more details, please request a catalog or view the PDF data available for download.

Company information
Our company has achieved one of the top records and evaluations in Japan for contract testing services, including DNA testing, but we are not a so-called food inspection agency. What we truly aim for is to "provide new value to the world and contribute to society." Since our establishment in 1997, we have adhered to the mission of "turning the invisible into something valuable," focusing on the development of unique technologies and offering products and services that are unparalleled. Even after a quarter of a century since our founding, we continue to expand our business with a broad perspective, establishing diverse testing technologies, developing original products such as testing reagents and kits, and fostering talent through training and e-learning, all while not being constrained by established concepts.
