  Exploring the Quantification Potential of a Nanopores-based Sequencing Platform for Food Safety Applications Using External Standards of Lambda DNA and Lambda-Spiked Beef
  Author(s): Marwa Vincent*
  
  The increasing demand for reliable and rapid detection methods in food safety has led to the exploration of innovative technologies. Nanoporebased sequencing platforms represent one such promising advancement, offering the capability for real-time, high-throughput, and portable analysis. These platforms leverage nanopore technology, where single molecules of DNA or RNA pass through a nanopore, generating an electrical signal that is subsequently translated into a nucleotide sequence. This study investigates the quantification potential of such a platform for food safety applications, focusing on the use of external standards like lambda DNA and lambda-spiked beef samples. Lambda DNA, derived from the bacteriophage lambda, serves as a model system in molecular biology due to its well-characterized genome. It provides a reliable external standard for evaluating the performance and quant.. Read More»
