PCR Testing :
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
is both a very specific and
sensitive approach for the direct
detection of target DNA regions
from a variety of sources. PCR
has been used extensively in
research and clinical diagnostics
applications since the early
1980's.The specificity of PCR
is a result of the targeted
amplification of a unique region
using forward and reverse primers
at the appropriate annealing
temperatures Specificity and
sensitivity can be further improved
the use of restriction fragment
length polymorphism (RFLP) followed
by targeted hybridization with
labeled probes (Southern Blotting).
The presence of RNA can also
be detected by reverse transcription
followed by PCR Clongen Laboratories
have dedicated laboratory areas
for extraction, amplification
and detection of PCR products. Stringent
procedures are applied by highly
trained graduate level scientists
to prevent cross contamination
with the amplicons.Amplification
reagents are prepared in a clean
room, separate from the rest
of the laboratory. Positive
and negative controls are run
in every assay to ensure that
the reaction is working properly.
