Preserve Your Microbiome for the Future
Your gut microbiome is a unique part of your biology. Research continues to highlight the important role that the intestinal microbiota plays in health and wellbeing. Autologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (Auto-FMT) offers an opportunity to collect and preserve your own stool microbiota while you are healthy, allowing it to be stored for potential future clinical use where appropriate.
At TML.science, we provide professional collection, processing, and long-term cryogenic storage services for autologous microbiome samples in our MHRA-regulated manufacturing facility.
What is Autologous FMT?
Autologous microbiota banking is the process of collecting and storing a stool sample from an individual during a period of general good health.
The stored material remains linked exclusively to the individual from whom it was collected and is maintained under controlled storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any future release or use of stored material would need to comply with the regulatory and clinical requirements in force at that time.
No. Auto-FMT involves storing and potentially using your own microbiota. Donor FMT involves material collected from a carefully screened third-party donor.
