The Microbiomics Standards & Controls Initiative
What are microbiome standards and controls?
Microbiome standards are mixed-cell communities or isolated DNA composed in known concentrations, allowing for accurate data interpretation.
Why give away free standards and controls?
Leaders in the field of microbiomics have recognized that the lack of well-defined microbial standards and
controls has held back research progress.
Zymo Research is passionate about data quality and reproducibility, so, in an effort to make well-defined
standards and controls available to all researchers, the ZymoBIOMICS Microbial Standards and Spike-in
Controls will be offered to all free of charge!

- For a limited time, Zymo Research possesses sole discretion on how many standards and controls are to be granted for free. This is to ensure enough materials is provided, based on project size.
