Quick summary

Same great company, science, standards and people – a whole new look.
One Name. One Purpose. Better Care.
At Microba, we’ve always believed that we can advance society by harnessing the microbiome’s profound health potential.
Inspired by this belief, we’ve created the world’s most advanced clinical-grade microbiome tests that transform people’s health.
Today, we’re making this journey easier to see, understand, and share – through a unified brand designed to empower more people with clinical-grade microbiome insights.
Reintroducing Microba
For years, you may have known us as Microba, MetaXplore, Co-Biome or Invivo.
In healthcare, clarity is care.
By bringing everything under the Microba name, we are removing all confusion and focusing on what matters most to us: clinical-grade microbiome testing that gives practitioners confidence and helps people live healthier, happier lives.
Our new brand is centered on one key idea: Expect better.
Better science. Better insights. Better health.
We develop world-leading microbiome research and technology. We deliver tests that go deeper and broader. We craft insights that improve people’s lives.
Why?
Because better is possible.
Because better means more freedom and confidence.
And, most importantly, because more freedom and confidence mean better, happier lives.
We are an ecosystem of people organised around one simple principle – delivering better for you.
Because better care doesn’t just transform individual lives, it builds healthier, happier communities.
At Microba, expect better.
Because we do.
