IMPACT Contaminant Detection
Back Contamination of biological samples such as tumor cells, hybridomas and viruses used on research animals can cause disease outbreaks or affect the integrity and outcome of results. Applied Biological Materials Inc. uses the advanced testing method Infectious Microbe PCR AmplifiCation Test (IMPACT), which is superior to the traditional Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) test in the following ways:
