Technology

Nucleic acid extraction

Nucleic acid extraction is a highly important process designed to isolate nucleic acids from the starting biological material. Properly performed extraction allows for the production of high-quality nucleic acid preparations free of contaminants (e.g., PCR inhibitors), which is essential for obtaining reliable analysis results. Another important thing is high extraction yield, especially when the amount of starting material is small.

Real Time qPCR

Real Time PCR Technology (qPCR) is currently a fundamental tool used for quantitative and qualitative determination of specific DNA/RNA sequences in tested preparations. This is possible thanks to several important features of this technique, such as high precision of determination, high specificity of the reaction, and the quantitative nature of the technique in a wide range of analyte concentrations.

Genotyping

Genotyping is the process of determining the genotype of a given individual by identifying its DNA sequence. Most modern genotyping techniques are based on the Real Time PCR method (e.g., HRM, Taqman probe genotyping, AS-qPCR, etc.). Their advantages include short analysis time, relatively low cost, and high reliability of the results obtained.

Gene expression analysis

Gene expression analysis is one example of the quantitative determination of nucleic acids. It involves measuring quantitative changes in the levels of specific transcripts occurring in a cell in response to both internal and external factors. Tracking quantitative changes in the expression levels of specific gene groups allows for the monitoring of processes occurring in the cell and the identification of mechanisms through which a given factor influences cell function.

Our services

Frame 2014

Research and development projects

We help implement scientific projects and research and development projects related to nucleic acid analysis. Our experience allows us to provide support in the proper planning of experiments, their implementation, and the analysis of their results, including statistical analysis. We own equipment that allows us to perform some of the experiments related to the extraction and analysis of nucleic acids in our laboratory.

Frame 2010

Methodology

We develop research and diagnostic methods based on nucleic acid analysis. The service includes the selection and optimization of nucleic acid extraction methods and nucleic acid analysis methods. We assess the quality and scope of application of the developed method by validating it within an agreed scope. We specialize in methods based on the qPCR technology, but it is also possible to use other technologies (e.g., PCR, sequencing, etc.).

Frame 2008

DNA sequence determination

We perform analyses related to the determination of nucleic acid sequences on request. The starting material for the determination can be appropriately secured biological material or a prepared DNA/RNA sample. We perform both quantitative and qualitative determinations. The determination can be performed according to the protocol provided or according to a method developed in our laboratory.
