HPLC
High-performance liquid chromatography; the dossier states a 1 mg/L detection limit for presentation purposes.
02 · Molecular Biology Lab
Detecting, comparing and confirming gene results
- Detecting specific genes, identifying pathogens, GMOs and antibiotic-resistance genes.
- Determining the presence of microorganisms in feed, water and animal samples.
- Detecting DNA, RNA or protein by electrophoresis.
- Confirming whether a PCR succeeded and estimating relative DNA/RNA concentration from the gel bands.
PCR machine
