Application of PCR Technology
PCR technology（PCR） has been increasingly recognized by non-scientists since the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020.What is pcr?
PCR or polymerase chain reaction is a laboratory test to detect the presence of genetic material from cells, bacteria, or viruses. The results of the examination using the PCR test are considered the most accurate because this method has the advantage of being able to detect the genetic material of a living being in very small quantities. In addition to detecting Covid-19, this technology has also been used for the following things.
1-Pathogen Identification
Identification of a pathogen such as bacteria and viruses of unknown type, can take a long time if identified by traditional microbiological methods. Not to mention the possibility of contamination and infection that can threaten. The advantage of PCR, which requires only a small number of samples, is that it is an effective and efficient method for this kind of identification process. With PCR, it can be determined the level of similarity of the unknown pathogen to the known pathogen. This will make it easier for researchers to identify and classify this new type of pathogen.
GT-16 Real Time PCR System developed and manufactured by GENNETURE, has the characteristics of simple and quick operation, and can complete a round of detection in a short time.
2-Disease Detection in Animals
In addition to humans, the use of PCR has also been widely used in animals. Detection by only paying attention to clinical symptoms, is considered to take a long time. Through PCR, experts can identify diseases more quickly, so that prevention and treatment can be carried out as soon as possible. Various diseases in animals whose identification process uses PCR technology include leptospira disease in cattle and WSSV (White Spot Syndrome Virus) disease in pond shrimp.
Regarding the detection of animal diseases, Animal Genomic DNA Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit
by GENETURE can be used for nucleic acid extraction and collection in advance, and then the PCR technology is used for further detection.
3-Gene Expression Research
PCR can differentiate gene expression between cells, tissues and organisms. It is very advantageous for microbiological and clinical oncology testing. One example of using PCR technology in gene expression is measuring the amount of cytokine and chemokine gene expression in the immune system, which plays an important role during the organ transplant process.
The purpose of the Plasma Cell-Free DNA Extraction Kit (Magnetic Beads) is to isolate and purify high-quality free DNA fragments from plasma. The extracted products can be used for genetic testing and clinical oncology testing.
