The adaptation and validation of real-time PCR methods for the identification of exotic species, for analysis on a capillary electrophoresis chip system
Abstract:
The objective of this study was to adapt and validate 10 species-specific real-time PCR assays for use on the Agilent BioAnalyser. The assays, for the detection of horse, donkey, duck, deer, pheasant, turkey, chicken, pig, cow and sheep, had been developed during projects previously funded by the Food Standards Agency. The assays were to be easy to use and applicable for use by Public Analysts and other laboratories which did not have real-time PCR capability, but which did have the BioAnalyser
