Outsourced intestinal environment analysis [organic acids (short-chain fatty acids), microbiota, stool collection kit]
Analysis of organic acids (short-chain fatty acids) in feces and analysis of bacterial and fungal flora (microbiome) are possible. A fecal collection kit that allows for storage of collected feces at room temperature is also available for sale.
One method for evaluating the functionality of food is the analysis of the intestinal environment, which has garnered attention. For example, by examining organic acids (short-chain fatty acids) in feces and the intestinal microbiota, changes in the intestinal environment can be captured. Our company offers analysis services for organic acids (short-chain fatty acids) in feces and intestinal microbiota. In intestinal environment analysis, feces are often used as a non-invasive sample that can be collected. It is recommended that feces be quickly frozen using liquid nitrogen or similar methods after collection and stored at -80°C. Maintaining this frozen state is particularly one of the hurdles in sample collection for intestinal environment analysis involving humans. Therefore, our company has developed and sells a collection kit that allows for the preservation of short-chain fatty acids and intestinal microbiota without freezing the feces.
