This workshop will interest those who want to learn more about the detection of food pathogens via real-time PCR.

You’ll learn about the general principles of real-time PCR, including experiment setup and data analysis. Following this, you’ll receive practical hands-on training for DNA extraction and real-time PCR, using our foodproof^® kits. All necessary materials and equipment will be provided on-site.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with different real-time PCR cyclers, such as the Dualo32, the AriaMx, the Lightcycler^® 96 and the Lightcycler^® 480 II and will be trained on how to operate them. You will learn about the technical specifications of the cyclers and the corresponding software systems. A detailed data analysis of the acquired real-time PCR data will also be made available.
