How it works
Quantify
Screen the genetic composition of antibiotic resistance in your environmental samples. Visualise and compare antibiotic resistance index between locations.
Understand
Benchmark your results against latest scientific baselines, and compare them to a global database of antibiotic resistance in similar environments.
Act
Identify problematic sites and point sources. Get alerted to changes in genetic resistance levels and stay ahead of emerging issues.

FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about our monitoring service process, gene selection, DNA concentrations and other important information.
See all FAQsYes, at the moment we have 26 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;
- 12 Genes: 128 Samples;
- and 6 Genes: 256 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.
