New Real-time PCR Kit Accurately Detects African Swine Fever
2016-05-03 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
GLOBAL - Recent outbreaks of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Eastern Europe have led to the growing need for more accurate diagnostics to help identify and monitor the highly contagious pathogen for which no treatment or vaccine currently exists. Scientists from Thermo Fisher Scientific have presented research data from a new duplex real-time PCR kit that demonstrates the ability to accurately detect the virus with high sensitivity and specificity in animal samples.

Thermoelectric Modules optimize reliability of PCR cyclers.
2016-03-04 14:31:05| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Tested to 800,000 temperature cycles, RoHS-compliant PC Series can operate in temperatures up to 120°C, exceeding requirements for polymerase chain reaction machines. Modules are constructed with multiple layers between ceramic substrates, copper buss bars, and semiconductor couples. To minimize thermally induced stress and extend operational life of modules, flexible and thermally conductive soft layer is inserted between cold side ceramic substrate and copper buss bars.
