CUSTOM MICROBIOLOGY

Looking for a specific microorganism?

Not every microbiological question fits a standard product. You may be looking for a specific microorganism, an alternative to a previous product or a solution for a specific application.

BIOMICROBES investigates what is technically and practically possible.

YOUR QUESTION AS THE STARTING POINT

Not found what you are looking for?

Sometimes a standard product is exactly what is needed. Sometimes the question starts elsewhere: with a particular organism, a microbial function, a combination of functions or an existing microbial approach. In that case we are happy to think along with you.

01

I am looking for a specific microorganism

Do you have a particular species or strain in mind? Tell us what you are looking for and why. We will look at the options.

02

My previous product is no longer available

Did you use a product that is no longer available? Share the name, label or other details. We will investigate what is possible.

03

I need a solution outside the standard range

Do you have an application or formulation outside our range? Together we will assess whether a custom solution is feasible.

CUSTOM WORK & DEVELOPMENT

What can we investigate for you?

A custom request can start with a specific organism, a desired function or an existing application.

  1. Specific organism or strain

    A microorganism, species or strain you are specifically looking for.

  2. Function or composition

    A desired microbial function or combination of functions.

  3. Existing or previous product

    An existing application for which you need an alternative or follow-up.

IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE & DEVELOPMENT

More than a standard range

BIOMICROBES builds on the microbiological expertise of Microbac B.V.. Development and production take place within our own organization.

This means we do not depend solely on ready-made products from an external catalog. Our microbiology specialists can also look at specific organisms, applications and product questions.

From microbiological question to practical application: development, production and quality control are closely linked.

Custom work starts with understanding what you need

A specific question does not automatically mean a completely new product has to be developed. The microorganism you are looking for may already be within our capabilities, or an existing formulation may suit the application.

In other situations further development may be relevant, or the question is really about a specific microbial function or composition. That is why we first look at the application and what you want to achieve.

  1. What are you looking for, or what challenge are you facing?
  2. Which application, crop or situation is it for?
  3. Do you already have information on an organism, product or previous application?

You do not need to know all of this in advance. We can discuss the technical details as we go.

FROM QUESTION TO POSSIBILITY

How we handle a specific request

  1. 01

    Share the microorganism, a former product name, label, application or simply the problem you are trying to solve.

  2. 02

    Our specialists review the microbiological question, the application and the available information.

  3. 03

    We discuss what may be available, relevant and technically feasible for the application.

  4. 04

    When there is a suitable option, we agree on the next step together.

GROWING CONTEXT

Microbiological questions from different growing systemsThe application helps determine what is relevant.

A microbiological question cannot be separated from the environment in which the product is used. Root environment, water, substrate and growing system all help determine which approach is relevant.

Greenhouse horticultureGreenhouse & substrate

For professional crops under glass, in substrate or soil and with controlled irrigation.

Controlled root environment, substrate and irrigation work together.

Open fieldOpen field

For applications where soil, root zone, water management and growing conditions vary through the season.

Soil, root environment and water conditions can vary widely.

Open field

HydroponicsHydroponics

For growing systems in which roots grow mainly in water or a water-rich medium.

Water and recirculation form the primary environment around the roots.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

  1. Your question

    You share what you already know.

  2. We review the options

    We assess the question technically and practically.

  3. We discuss next steps

    Where there are options, we agree on a suitable next step together.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC IN MIND?

Tell us what you are looking for.

You do not need to have all the technical information yet. The name of a microorganism, a former product, a label, an application or a description of your situation can be a good starting point.

You do not need all the technical information yet. A microorganism, previous product, application or short description of your situation is enough to start.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about custom microbiology

Can BIOMICROBES supply specific microorganisms?

That depends on the microorganism, the application, availability, technical feasibility and relevant regulations. Tell us what you are looking for; our specialists can then investigate the options.

I used to use a microbial product that is no longer available. Can you help?

Possibly. Share as much information as you can about the previous product, such as the product name, label, known microorganisms or a technical data sheet, so we can investigate the options. This does not automatically mean that the same product or formulation can be supplied.

Does BIOMICROBES develop custom microbial formulations?

BIOMICROBES has its own microbiological expertise, development and production. For professional applications, specific product and formulation questions can be discussed and assessed for feasibility.

What information do you need?

Anything that clarifies the application helps: the desired microorganism, crop, growing system, application, previously used products and available technical information. You do not need to have all the answers before you get in touch.

Is custom work only for large companies?

Options are assessed per request. Contact us to discuss your situation.
