For clinics
Bring structured microbiome workflows into your clinic.
VAMS BIOME combines collection, sequencing-derived analysis and professional reporting to support appropriately governed microbiome workflows and longitudinal review.
How the workflow runs
- Patient In your clinic
- Sample Collected in your setting
- Sequencing Handled by VAMS
- ATLAS™ Structured interpretation
- Professional report Method and confidence stated
- Clinician review Your judgement, your patient
- Optional follow-up Comparable repeat timepoint
Who does what
Responsibility is easiest to see against the whole timeline — including where a lane is deliberately silent.
Raises the request, records consent, registers the person against the practice account.
Issues the collection kit and confirms it is labelled and logged.
Receives the completed report in the practice account.
Provisions the practice account and kit allocation.
Chain of custody: barcoded kit, tracked transit, accession confirmed back to the clinic.
Assembles and delivers the report; retains the audit trail.
Accession and sample QC. Samples failing QC are re-requested, not reported.
QC gateSequencing run with batch and negative controls.
Pipeline analysis, confidence labelling and evidence linkage against a fixed pipeline version.
Decides whether microbiome testing is appropriate for this person.
Reads the findings in clinical context and leads the conversation. Decisions remain theirs.

Start small
A defined pilot tells you more about operational fit than a practice-wide rollout.
- Demo We walk your team through the illustrative sample report and the workflow around it.
- Scope Which ecosystems, which patient groups, what volume, and what your team needs to see.
- Small pilot Start with a defined group rather than a practice-wide rollout.
- Review Look at operational fit, report usefulness and whether repeat testing makes sense.
- Decide Continue, adjust or stop. Stopping after a pilot is a legitimate outcome.
Common questions
Do we need laboratory facilities?
No. Collection is designed for a normal clinic setting and sequencing is arranged by VAMS. What you need is a workflow for consent, collection and review.
Is this a reseller arrangement?
No. We do not operate referral commissions and we are not asking you to market tests. The relationship is a service and workflow one.
What does the clinician remain responsible for?
Everything clinical. Microbiome context is supplementary information; assessment, diagnosis and management stay with the treating professional.
Can we start small?
Yes, and we would encourage it. A defined pilot group tells you more about operational fit than a broad rollout.
