Quality control:

  • Syringes
  • Pipette tips
  • Microtiter plates
  • Tubing and needles
  • Caps and tubes
  • Cotton swabs
  • Gloves
  • Laboratory equipment
  • etc.

Test for contamination with human DNA

Use of a commercial qPCR kit.

Detection limit: approx. 2 pg/µL.

For the validation of sterilisation methods or methods to remove DNA contamination, e.g., from cotton swabs for forensic applications, we offer standardised "contaminations" (e.g., defined amounts of blood, saliva, or isolated DNA on swabs, preparation of skin smears) as control samples.
