About this webinar
This webinar introduces viability PCR as a fast and powerful tool to analyze food samples for the presence of potentially harmful microbes. Viability real-time PCR uses the DNA-masking compound propidium monoazide (PMA). PMA enters dead and membrane-compromised pathogen cells and binds to DNA, making the DNA inaccessible to detection by PCR. Live/dead differentiation is important for procedures such as: hygiene testing (success of decontamination processes), water testing (distinguishing between live and dead legionella for regulatory compliance), and several other important applications.
