リーゾ List of Products and Services

Our company offers a service for DNA testing using the "PCR-DGGE method," which is gaining attention as a way to check the health of field soil. We extract microbial DNA from the soil and analyze it using the PCR-DGGE method to calculate the "biodiversity index." By observing changes in the biodiversity index, we can evaluate the health of the soil, which can lead to a reduction in pesticide use. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. 【Testing Method (PCR-DGGE Method)】 1. Extract DNA from soil samples. 2. Perform PCR using primers for bacterial or fungal communities. 3. Analyze the PCR products using the DGGE method and obtain image data. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• DNA analysis

We offer a service to identify unknown plant samples and determine their species through DNA testing. We amplify gene regions commonly used for plant species identification using PCR and conduct sequence analysis. The obtained sequences are compared with public databases, and the results are reported. As a principle, we use the "ITS1" gene region. Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests. 【Testing Method】 1. Amplification of gene regions commonly used for plant species identification using PCR 2. Sequence analysis 3.
