2.  Mobile DNA Laboratories
 
Gene prints will design and setup customized mobile DNA laboratories for use in applications such as:
  • Rapid on-site detection of biological threat agents (bio-terrorism). This application would be extremely valuable for homeland security purposes.
  • Rapid on-site testing for emerging infections such as the avian (bird) flu, West Nile Virus and other public health concerns.
  • Clinical DNA diagnostics in remote villages and other locations
  • Environmental on-site DNA-based rapid testing (e.g. testing well water, beach water, swimming pools, drinking water, etc.)
  • Educational Mobile Labs: these labs go between cities, villages and towns where high school children perform their DNA experiments as part of their curriculum.

3.  Technical Laboratory Consultation Services

  • DNA / RNA Isolation and Banking. Gene Prints has extensive expertise in DNA and RNA isolation, purification and banking from a variety of sources. We will help you identify the most appropriate technology for your application as well as troubleshoot any issues that may arise. This service is intended for a wide range of clients including biomedical research institutions, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, zoos and animal research centers, endangered species research centers, animal breeding centers, plant breeders, ...etc.
     
  • Custom Test Development. There is currently a significant need worldwide for rapid development of DNA-based (molecular) tests that have become of great value not only to the clinical diagnostics needs of hospitals and medical centers, but also to other markets such as public health, environmental testing and veterinary diagnostics laboratories.

    Gene Prints will help you in your development project on a consulting basis and will provide its significant expertise in MDX test development for many applications, including clinical and animal diagnostics, public health, human and animal genetics, and environmental testing and tracking.
     
  • Surveillance and Disease Outbreak Investigations. Gene Prints scientists have extensive expertise in applying DNA technologies for pathogen surveillance and disease outbreak investigations. Our knowledge and experience in state of the art DNA-based surveillance and fingerprinting technologies is applied in several fields, including: Public Health (e.g. food-borne infectious outbreaks, viral outbreaks, bio-threat early detection), Environmental Health (e.g. identification and quantification of human or animal pathogens in the environment, tracking of environmental pathogens, rapid identification of pathogens in drinking and recreational water, design and setup of mobile labs on trucks or boats for rapid on-site environmental pathogen testing), Animal Health (e.g salmonella outbreaks in horses)
