Mastery and rigour: the laboratory obtains the best score in all the inter-laboratory tests conducted by ISAG since 2005.

Let's have a look at the course of a sample for the genomic indexation in cattle.

 

1

All the kits requested during the day are send in the afternoon

2

Sample collected by an authorized person

3

Before 10:30 AM, all the parcels are sorted by species and analysis

4

Each sample is verified and enter in the traceability system

5

All the biopsies are placed on racks containing 96 samples

6

Each day, LABOGENA can extract high quality - quantity DNA from 2.000 samples

7

Day 1 - The working plates are prepared

8

Day 1  - The reagents are mixed with an agitator

9

Day 2 - After few steps, the ADN (in blue) is dried

10

Day 2 - The DNA samples are spotted on the chips by a robot

11

Day 3 - A fluorescent reagent is added to the chips with a robot

12

Day 3 - The chips are removed from their chamber

13

Day 3 - The chips will be washed several times

14

Day 3 - The chips are placed on a rack for analysis

15

Day 3 - The racks containing the chips are loaded into the scanner with a robot

16

Day 3 - The fluorescence signals are verified in real time

17

Once the raw data are validated, we send them for index estimation

18

The results are sent to the customers

19

All the samples are stored either at -20°C or at room temperature for one year
