    Description

    The ZymoBIOMICS® Fecal Reference with TruMatrix™ Technology is a control and reference material composed of stool from healthy human donors, pooled and homogenized in a single, large batch to ensure consistency and eliminate typical lot-to-lot variability. Over 2 million identical preps are available, making this fecal reference the ideal control for comparing metagenomic and metatranscriptomic workflow consistency across replicates, studies, and laboratories. The accompanying Fecal Reference Database allows users to compare characterization data against applied methodology

    FAQ

    The ZymoBIOMICS® Fecal Reference represents the true composition of a human fecal microbiome because the sample matrix is composed of real stool material, not synthetic material or laboratory-cultured bacterial strains. This gives it authentic complexity, including the microbial diversity, metabolites, and inhibitors that may be present in actual stool samples.

    The ZymoBIOMICS® Fecal Reference is engineered to provide exceptional lot-to-lot consistency and reproducibility. The fecal reference is produced from a single, large batch of pooled and homogenized samples, serving as the sole source for all production lots. Each lot is then measured for consistency, in both microbial profile and nucleic acid yield, against the source material and all others lots.

    The ZymoBIOMICS® Fecal Reference acts as a constant, complex biological input, enabling the detection of systematic biases and random variability at every stage of the microbiome pipeline. It is an essential control for method validation, inter-lab comparability, and workflow optimization through its consistency and the resources available for comparative analysis through the associated Fecal Reference Database.
