Improvement of Classical PCR-Based Food Forensics Methods Using the QIAxcel Advanced

Food forensics aims to control food authenticity and the accurate labeling of food products. Many molecular biology methods can be used for food analysis, but one of the most common is DNA analysis by gel electrophoresis. In this webinar, we will present our work to improve classical PCR-based food forensics methods using the QIAxcel Advanced System for automated electrophoresis analysis. Adding QIAxcel Advanced to our workflow increased speed and ease-of-use and improved the repeatability and reproducibility of a range of molecular methods used in our daily food forensics work.
 
In this webinar, we will discuss the following examples:

• Identification and quantification of basmati rice varieties by SSR-PCR analysis
• Meat and fish identification
• Identification of two snail species by species-specific PCR

 
Tamar Vardi will give the presention on behalf of Renaud Cassier.
