Påvisning av næringsmiddelpatogener med PCR
Olsen, Jaran Strand; Fykse, Else Marie; Skogan, Gunnar; Blatny, Janet Martha; Opsahl, Morten (2006)Denne rapporten beskriver bruken av den molekylære metoden ”Polymerase Chain Reaction” (PCR) for identifisering av utvalgte sykdomsfremkallende bakterier i næringsmidler. Arbeidet er basert på et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom ... -
Preparation of biological contaminated samples for chemical analysis
Fykse, Else Marie; Blatny, Janet Martha; Teien, Hilde (2009)FFI has established laboratory facilities in order to receive and analyze samples containing a mixture of chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) agents, so-called “mixed samples”. Detailed procedures are needed to ... -
Rapid Identification of Bacillus anthracis Spores in Suspicious Powder Samples by Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)
Dybwad, Marius; van der Laaken, AL; Blatny, Janet Martha; Paauw, Armand (2013)Rapid and reliable identification of Bacillus anthracis spores in suspicious powders is important to mitigate the safety risks and economic burdens associated with such incidents. The aim of this study was to develop and ... -
