Molecular biology

LGC’s molecular biology capabilities cover a wide range of qualitative and quantitative approaches for nucleic acid analysis including:

  • Genotyping, STR profiling and sequencing
  • Microarray based gene expression profiling and comparative genome hybridisation (CGH) for genome stability/copy number variant analysis
  • Real-time PCR and real-time RT PCR Digital PCR , whole genome amplification Whole genome amplification, trace DNA analysis
  • Epigenetic profiling (gene methylation).

These key capabilities address challenges across a variety of sectors including drug discovery, diagnostics, health technologies, food and environment. They are underpinned by a comprehensive range of instrumentation including PCR , microarrays and robotic technologies.
