Research and Testing Laboratories is a research and development group providing molecular detection, microbial diversity and medical biofilm research and testing services. Genome sequencing, transcriptomes, metagenomes

WHY SHOULD YOU PAY FOR A FANCY WEBSITE? Do you want to pay for great sequencing service or a phenominal website and army of marketing and sales personell? Why when we paid only a few hundred dollars for our website has our customer base continued to grow? Because we treat our customers like family. Word of mouth, economical pricing, rapid turnaround, and quality service have kept us growing... not a fancy website!

New grants program: Especially tailored toward polymicrobial infections. TEFAP the world. We want to help elucidate the worlds microbiomes. We work with scientists from all over the world. Small projects and large projects. From 1 sample to thousands. Small budgets and large budgets. We help the scientists that other operations refuse to work with.

Cost effective cost sharing and collaborative research grants: find out how you can get your project done quickly and efficiently. Contact our scientists at info@researchandtesting.com

Microbial Diversity Sequencing Services: RTL provides low cost cutting edge commericial contract and rapid low cost academic and collaborative services for scientists and industry partners moving rapidly. We are dedicated to the evaluation of bacterial, archaeal, algae, fungal and functional gene diversity in almost any environment. We have successfully evaluated bacterial, archaeal and fungal diversity in water samples, food, plants, air, fecal, rumen, bioreactors, soil, chronic wound, infected sinuses, lung, skin, biofilms, infected bone, atherosclerotic plaque, and sewage samples.

Over 20 peer reviewed pyrosequencing articles! We can help you too, you want to get data and get to your publication quickly!

Next Generation Sequencing Services: Our laboratory has the Roche 454 FLX andTITANIUM Genome Sequencer. We offer comprehensive services for both contract and collaborative sequencing efforts. We have sequenced bacterial genomes, mammal and insect EST libraries, metagenome samples, cDNA libraries from bacteria, fungal, yeast, amplicon libraries, and viral genomes. We offer competative rates and low cost collaborative rates for researchers moving rapidly toward publications. Contact us for quotes on your next generation sequencing project.

Clinical Diagnostic Method Development: RTL partners currently include the CLIA certified laboratories of Southwest Regional PCR and Southwest regional Sequencing diagnostic laboratories. We are also partners with the world renoun Southwest Regional Wound Care Center and the clinical diagnostic laboratory of Dr. Randall Wolcott MD CWCS. Our developments include the first comprehensive chronic wound molecular diagnostic panel. This panel can be utilized by clinicians to make rapid diagnostic based decisions of treatment options which can not only save thousands of dollars by reducing empiric antibiotic prescription decision issues but can dramatically improve the prognosis and healing of patients by allowing rapid, directed and focused application of correct Rx and treatments.
