Dear netters,
A friend of mine is thinking of a project on application of PCR-
related techniques for detecting food borne pathogens in milk and
eggs. Despite the possible PCR-inhibitory substances in the DNA
extracts from raw samples, DNA from dead cells may give false
positive results. How can we solve this problem?
Is there any related references? Any suggestion will be
appreciated.
