Clinical
"Early diagnosis of HIV among infants born to HIV-positive mothers is a critical component of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV." Joseph Mwangi Kenya Medical Research Institute, Nairobi |
|
Animal Health
"By having a rapid on site (poultry farm and / or slaughterhouse) test available, it allows rapid discriminate between Campylobacter contaminated flocks and non-contaminated high quality flocks." Jos van der Vossen TNO |
|
Food
"Compared to cumbersome and costlier ELISA method, the PCR technique is simple and allows us to estimate the quantitative levels of the IYSV nucleoprotein (N) gene transcripts in infected plants." Diwaker Tripathi Washington State University |
|
Environment
“Currently we have boat days where we bring back whole water to shore and use the microscope to assess whether our bug of interest is there or not." Holly Bowers Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute |
|
Conservation
"At the moment, it is virtually impossible to get samples and swabs out of Latin America as their biosecurity laws have tightened up immensely. This means the need for testing abilities on the ground is paramount." Robert Puschendorf School of Biological Sciences, Plymouth University |
|
Forensics
"The ability to perform real-time PCR at crime scenes for the detection and identification of body fluids would be a significant advantage in crime scene investigations." Rachel Fleming Institute of Environmental Science and Research Ltd |
PERFORMANCE
|
The Freedom 4 has been designed to meet or exceed the performance of laboratory based real time PCR platforms.
“All established assays were shown to be transferable and gave comprehensible results .” - The Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) |
