Genomic Analysis Laboratory
Calea Mănăștur 3-5, USAMV, Cluj-Napoca
Existing equipment:
Genomic analysis of samples of plant origin consists in the use of PCR based amplification techniques (SSR, SNAP, RT-PCR) in order to establish the genetic fingerprint necessary for the rapid and efficient characterization of some species of economic value and / or the detection of potential product frauds along the food chain to the analyzed samples. The necessary equipment in the genomic analysis laboratory of the samples consists of:
- 1 Termocycler for sample amplification: allows for optimal PCR reaction conditions. In molecular biology the polymerase chain reaction & nbsp; (PCR) also translated as the chain polymerization reaction is a biochemical technology of in vitro multiplication (synthesis) of the DNA gene by amplifying the parent compound pairs.
- 1 refrigerator to store reaction products and consumables
- 1 electrophoresis system required preliminary test of reaction products; the device is intended for preliminary testing of PCR amplification products. Benefits of use for laboratory CDI components: multichannel pipette compatible, containing a complete double vertical vertical electrophoresis system for Blotting test, capillary and 2D; running simultaneously 2 gels.
- 1 genetic analysis system with semi-automatic analysis software included for electrophoretic migration of reaction products obtained from PCR amplification of plant and animal products and analysis of results based on included software in the system. Benefits of using the laboratory CDI: Large number of processed samples (2 x 96 samples can be migrated simultaneously) used for analyzing results based on the DNA fragmentation technique (SSR, AFLP, RFLP, PCR) and fragments sequencing respectively DNA.
- 1 desktop computer for data processing.
