Technology
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a method used to separate proteins or high molecular weight linear DNA fragments that are greater than 50 kilobases (kb) in size. Fragments are separated by pulsing an electrical field across an agarose gel rather than applying the constant field used in conventional electrophoresis.
Glossary Term
A long linear double-stranded polymer formed from nucleotides attached to a deoxyribose backbone and found in the nucleus of a cell; associated with the transmission of genetic information.
Tests
A proprietary PCR technique that uses a pool of primers to amplify a 450 bp region in the L1 region of the HPV genome. It is capable of detecting 37 high- and low-risk human papillomavirus genotypes.
Glossary Term
How close amplification is to ideal doubling each cycle, reported as a percentage or derived from the standard curve slope. Efficiency near 90–110% with a linear standard curve supports quantification claims; it is a standard checklist item when auditing assay validation dossiers.
Glossary Term
A long linear single-stranded polymer formed from nucleotides attached to a deoxyribose backbone.
