Empowering research with quantifiable AMR data
EMPOWER your Research
Through our service, we empower researchers with advanced molecular genetics, offering the tools needed to identify and quantify antimicrobial resistance in environmental samples across diverse research areas.
Whether you’re aiming to focus on specific genetic markers and save resources by pre-screening before metagenomics, or looking to track how resistance changes over time in various environments, Resistomap’s platform delivers the insights you need. And with our biosecurity platform, you can visualise these trends with clarity, bringing your research to life.
Our services give researchers access to:
- Advanced molecular technology. We utilise sophisticated HT-qPCR methods able to detect and quantify hundreds of resistance genes simultaneously from your samples, saving time and enhancing the depth of your research data.
- The latest scientific advancements in AMR. With over 18,000 samples analysed and ongoing collaborations with leading institutions and experts, Resistomap continuously updates our knowledge to stay at the forefront of identifying the most relevant genetic markers in AMR research.
- Customisable, research-tailored solutions. From small-scale studies to large-scale nationwide AMR surveillance, our solutions adapt to target the most relevant genes across the optimal number of samples, whether your focus is wastewater, hospital environments, or other ecological settings.

Tailored assays for precision & flexibility
Our approach for researcher clientele focuses on maximum adaptability, ensuring each analysis provides the most value. Based on your research questions, scope, and objectives, a variety of customizable options and sample quantities can be run through the HT-qPCR system. These combinations range from broad genetic screening—covering 384 genes in 4 samples—to targeted analysis of 12 genes across 128 samples.
Typically, our clients have found it most beneficial to begin by profiling a broad set of genetic markers to establish a local resistance profile, then narrow the focus to the most relevant genes for further analysis across a higher quantity of samples. Multiple configurations are available to suit your specific needs within the aforementioned range.
Comprehensive gene coverage from trusted sources
The Resistomap analysis customisations offer a comprehensive selection of antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) targets, curated from the latest scientific literature and continuously updated to reflect validated targets from the research community. This ensures your analysis aligns with current AMR trends and discoveries.
If the extensive gene selection feels overwhelming, our project scientists are available for expert consultation to help tailor the most robust and relevant selection for your needs, available with an additional consultation fee.
Cost-effective & fast results
We know that researchers often operate under tight budgets and strict timelines. For that reason, we’ve designed our services to be both cost-effective and time-saving, helping you make the most of your resources without sacrificing quality.
Our streamlined workflows are designed to provide high-throughput results quickly, freeing up both time and funding for other critical aspects of your research. Under SOP you can expect to receive your results within 10 days of the samples reaching our lab. And to make the shipping seamless, we also offer an auxiliary service to handle the international shipping.

See all FAQsYes, at the moment we have 18 primer sets available to target certain taxonomy group of bacteria and pathogens.
In each chip analysis, we can measure up to 384 genes, including 16S rRNA gene (positive control); antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) targeting aminoglycoside, amphenicol, beta lactam, florphenicol, multidrug efflux-pump, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB), trimethoprim, tetracycline, vancomycin; genes targeting other antibacterials such as nisin, bacitracin, antiseptic, mercury; and genes that are associated with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and integrons.
Yes, you can customise the target genes with an extra customisation fee. The customisation options for chip analysis are: 296 Genes: 5 Samples; 248 Genes: 6 Samples; 216 Genes: 8 Samples; 144 Genes: 12 Samples; 120 Genes: 14 Samples; 96 Genes: 18 Samples; 80 Genes: 21 Samples; 72 Genes: 24 Samples; 54 Genes: 32 Samples; 48 Genes: 36 Samples; 36 Genes: 48 Samples; 24 Genes: 72 Samples; and 12 Genes: 128 Samples. You can choose the target genes based on over 600 previously validated primer sets that are available in our database from the the ARG selection sheet that we will send you separately.
In Resistomap we provide antibiotic resistance monitoring services starting from sampling to the final analysis of the SmartChip qPCR results.
We deliver analysis results within 10 working days. For three or more chips, the analysis process may take longer.
We accept all types of samples, e.g., soil, sediment, sludge, manure, stool, meat, tissue, swabs, river, lake, wastewater, and seawater.
