Building a Bird Gender and DNA Test Mini Lab

導入

For bird breeders, especially large-scale breeding farms for オウム, pigeons, etc., the construction of a small molecular detection laboratory can quickly detect the sex of fledglings by detecting genes, and can also detect bird viruses during the breeding process and achieve early prevention.

How to Build a Mini Bird DNA Test Lab?

The construction of a small DNA detection laboratory does not require a large investment in laboratory construction, but a relatively clean space is sufficient. The instruments and equipment required for a small DNA detection laboratory are the most basic and necessary, and the quantity is not large.

Here, I have compiled a list of the equipment and reagents needed to build a small-scale avian DNA detection laboratory, along with reference prices.

As we can see from the list, the most expensive part is the “Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR装置”. しかし, if you do not have enough budget and you do not want to test 1000 birds a day, you may choose a smaller qPCR machine that is much cheaper less than 10k USD.

What size of space is needed for laboratory construction?

For avian detection laboratories, a large area is not required for construction. Generally, a maximum of about 30 square meters is sufficient. If the sample size for detection is small, a smaller space can be used.

How many people are needed for avian gender detection?

At least one person is required for avian gender test experiments. Efficiency increases with two people; one can handle sample preparation while the other prepares for the detection process.

What level of cleanliness is required for laboratory construction?

qPCR bird gender and disease test experiments do not have very high cleanliness requirements. Daily cleanliness, minimal dust, and dry conditions are sufficient.

Can qPCR equipment from other brands be used with SanshiBio’s reagents?

はい, other brands of detection equipment can be used as long as they are operated according to the requirements of the detection reagents.

How long does it take to conduct one avian gender detection?

In one avian gender detection, the processing time for one set of samples (96T) is approximately 30 分, while qPCR detection from preparation to result output takes about 40-50 分.

How many avian gender tests can be done in one testing session?

A set of samples can accommodate up to 96 samples, with a general recommendation of 90 samples. Smaller channel devices can typically test around 48 samples.

What other experiments can be conducted in the laboratory besides avian gender detection?

Besides avian gender testing, a complete set of PCR detection equipment allows for various other test experiments using different reagents.

Does SanshiBio offer technical guidance?

はい, the company provides comprehensive laboratory operation training. さらに, they welcome on-site learning in China, which typically takes 2-3 日々. Guidance is also available via direct video communication.
