Optimize your knowledge and strengthen your product

Learn more about the effect of your product with insight into the microbiome

At Unseen Bio, we are experts in microbiome analysis and microbiome data.

Through our recognized microbiome test, we have unique knowledge about the microbiome and how it is affected. We would like to share this knowledge, as we believe in scientific collaboration, which can help our partners create even better products based on scientific results.

We have developed a dynamic solution where you can cost-effectively see the result of your product's impact in just a few months.

We live to enable our partners, because we are still scientists at heart.

Keen to explore, test and develop products for preventative healthcare with you.

You handle the what, we handle the how.

"I find the microbiome exciting because it's basically present everywhere, yet so hidden.

There's a kind of mystery to it - how something so influential is still not fully understood. It offers many opportunities for discovery and innovation!"

Examine the effect of your product

If you produce food, beverages or dietary supplements and want to investigate how your product affects the microbiome, you have the opportunity to collaborate with Unseen Bio.

As a manufacturer, it is important to ensure that your product has the real claimed effect on the gut, because the microbiome plays a major role in our overall health.

With data analyses of the microbiome, you can learn more about this. However, clinical trials can be time- and resource-intensive and are often very tied up in a restrictive environment.

With our established microbiome consumer test, you can easily and quickly get started investigating how your product affects the microbiome based on the normal everyday life and lifestyle of your test subjects.

You get a scientific data basis in the microbiome and can thus support that your product has the real claimed effect, so that you can create even better products and ensure customer satisfaction.

An easy way to incorporate microbiome data into your product development.

We offer

Full support and end-to-end solution

We offer full service setup and an end-to-end solution.

We help with everything from recruiting testers and delivering tests to data analysis, visualizations and publishing.

Fast turnaround

Forget about long waits for large, complex reports. With us, you get immediate insights. With our established consumer testing setup, we can deliver turnaround times of as little as 14 days.

You get access to the data as soon as the first test results arrive.

Unique access to niche data

You get access to all project data through our user-friendly and interactive partner platform, which allows you to manage your samples and explore the data you have generated with us via our clear and easy-to-understand dashboards, and data can be freely exported.

Research and development

Create better products with a deeper understanding of how your product impacts the microbiome by testing the product in real-world situations in close contact with the end user. We have linked metadata to our microbiome data, giving you important background knowledge about your test subjects.

Upgrade your knowledge

If you would like to strengthen your dataset with an expanded reference group, you can purchase access to a larger part of our enormous database of reference data.

Ali Kaafarani - Chief Information Officer

"Microbiome research has made great strides over the past two decades.

It really surprised me to learn how influential it is in the body and to what extent it plays a major role in human health.

I believe there is still enormous amounts of knowledge here to be unlocked, with the potential to be applied to improve humanity."

Our analysis method

We offer in vivo and in vitro microbiome analyses.

Our standard assay is shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which offers superior performance, detecting over 4500 species, as opposed to more traditional methods that look at a more limited range. Shotgun sequencing is considered the gold standard in research that enables publication.

We currently provide species-level resolution across three taxonomic levels and 2 gigabases of data per sample.

Depending on your project, we can zoom in on individual subspecies, branch out to additional taxa, investigate functional profiles, and adjust sequencing depth. Nanopore, 16S RNA, and qPCR analyses can be performed as needed.

We focus on data quality and always ensure that data is compatible with relevant metadata.

We collaborate with certified European laboratories

DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 certified

DIN EN ISO/IEC 15189 certified

CAP/CLIA/CSPro certified

For academic research

We believe in scientific rigor and transparency and want to contribute to the scientific community. Our work is based on a strong and solid scientific foundation, always drawing on the latest research.

At the heart of our platform is a manually curated knowledge base with hundreds of publications and an ever-growing database of consistently annotated microbiome data, just waiting to be explored. We also strive to publish our results, as you can see below.
