Analysis in the field – the impact of real-time PCR testing
In 2015, Holly Bowers was a finalist in the Freedom For You grants program. Her prize was a Freedom4 device, which allowed Holly to perform real-time analysis in the field for different algal bloom species. Read more. |
Evaluation of the Freedom4 - a mobile real-time PCR device for robust detection of Zaire ebolavirusComparable performance by the Freedom4, a mobile real-time PCR device, to the QuantStudioDx (Life Technologies) was demonstrated in these experiments. It is concluded that the Freedom4 gives the same performance and sensitivity as in laboratory instruments.
