Sherlock™ Microbial ID
& GC / GC-MS Solutions

Fatty acid analysis by Gas Chromatography (GC-FAME and GC-PLFA) has been used for more than 30 years for microbial ID and PLFA - soil microbial community analysis.

We are the only company to commercialize this technology for global use. The Sherlock™ Microbial Identification System (MIS) is used in more than 40 countries and there are more than 1,000 journal articles referencing the technology (more than 300 for PLFA & soil microbial community analysis).

The Sherlock MIS is rapid and inexpensive to operate. A bacterial culture can be identified in as little as
15 minutes for less than
$3.00 USD per sample.

The Sherlock software includes many powerful tools: Automated Peak Naming, Library Generation (LGS), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Electronic Records & Signatures (ERS).

Since 2014, Sherlock's precision peak naming and categorization capabilities have been used from non-microbial datasets. Examples include edible oil and marine oil analysis (GC), as well as automated fire debris analysis (GC-MS).

Sherlock™ Mycobacteria ID System (MYCO-LCS)

Mycolic acid analysis by
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
has been used for more
than 20 years as a rapid
and easy-to-use method
for routine mycobacterial identification.

MIDI, Inc. is the only company to commercialize this technology for global use. The MYCO-LCS is used in many state and county public health laboratories,
as well as large hospitals
focused on Tuberculosis ID.

The MYCO-LCS identifies
25 mycobacterial species and more than 35 species from
other genera, including:
M. tuberculosis, Corynebacteria, Dietzia, Gordonia, Nocardia, Rhodococcus and Tsukamurella.

The MYCO-LCS can separate M. bovis BCG from the MTB complex and M. scrofulaceum from MAI.


The Sherlock™ MYCO-LCS uses the same procedure to identify all mycobacterial and non-mycobacterial species in less than 30 minutes from pure culture.  The cost per test is less than $6.00 USD.

For research use only.  Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
