Our
primary
activity
|
Our primary activity is the development
of modern molecular biological methods for the quick analysis of genetic markers in humans and animals and
for the
detection of pathogenic microorganisms in biological products.
Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art
instrumentation. We offer complete, competent and
flexible services, from the isolation of nucleic acids and the specific amplification of DNA fragments, to the
ready-to-publish DNA sequence. With in-house expertise
we design protocols for custom analysis.
Urgent medical diagnostic services are
available 7 days a week, and are treated with preference and
confidence. We specialize in rare genetic diseases,
that are not covered by ready reaction kits and require complete
exon sequencing.
We are dedicated to customer
satisfaction! |
