This laboratory carries out services that are essentially within the bio-health sector, specifically in the field of genetics and functional genomics, using new high-performance technologies such as gene sequencing.
Location
Description
Services:
- Carrier Test
- NGS mass sequencing, DNA microarrays and in vitro assays.
- Analysis of the absence of DNase, RNase and DNA in laboratory consumables.
- Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) using NGS.
- Genetic diagnosis.
- Forensic genetic identification – DNA analysis.
The laboratory has three clearly differentiated areas, two of which are intended for preparing PCR reactions and handling and analysing RNA.
