EuroSciCon's 'PCR Perfection: Insider tricks' meeting is being held on October 3rd at The BioPark, Hertfordshire. It will feature many leading lights in the field of PCR and there will be plenty of opportunities for discussion.

 

Scott Reid PhD (Institute for Animal Health, UK) will be talking. He says,

 

“Rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).  I will describe the practical steps taken to use real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) as a front-line laboratory diagnostic tool during the 2007 outbreaks of FMD in the United Kingdom. The practical considerations adopted for the processing of the samples, the deployment of rRT-PCR during the outbreaks and the advantages of the assay for laboratory diagnosis of FMD to support control decisions during the outbreaks will be discussed."
