Media reports worldwide are linking the death of two patients and the hospitalisation of a further four patients in the United States to unscreened pathogens in FMT implants provided by a major US FMT manufacturer.
About Us
TML.Science® Manufactures Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) implants for use in a clinical setting. Since 2011 the laboratory has produced over 37,000 FMT implants and is currently one of the World’s largest Stool Banks.
We are Europe’s first independent FMT manufacturer and “Stool Bank” founded in 2011.
We immediately stopped manufacture when the Covid-19 entered the UK population. We will be testing for Covid-19 just like all the other serious pathogens that we screen for so when we restart the manufacturing, we will include a Covid-19 test to the screening panel. At the next 3-monthly Product Release which will be of product manufactured before the Covid-19 lock-down, we will be including the Covid-19 test as part of the final pathogen screening. We are not treating Covid-19 any differently from any other serious and life-threatening pathogen, we will screen and eliminate it before the release of the product for use.
What we do
We do not store the whole stool. We screen, test and extract our material and form a 30ml concentrated extract of the human lower gut microbiome. We are a supplier of microbiota implants of guaranteed quality and safety, without the unnecessary waste materials that no recipient needs or would benefit from receiving.
All our implants undergo a rigorous screening process.
Our implants are supplied from the ultra-deep-frozen state at -80°C and cryo-packed to arrive still frozen, at most destinations (even some locations internationally), within 24 hours.
Our donors
Each stool donor provides a diverse microbiome tested for pathogens. Healthy diversity from our donors is key to providing Gut Flora Transplants (FMT). We extract microbial cells from donated stool to create Gut Flora (FMT) implants.
Every Taymount stool donor undergoes strict screening, plus repeat testing every month. This promotes the safety and quality of their gut flora.
