ThermaGenix, Inc. Announces the Launch of a Unique Species ID Test - FASTFISH-ID, a universal DNA test for rapid authentication of more than a 100 Commercial Fish Species in a single tube using a portable device.
NATICK, Mass., Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ThermaGenix, Inc. introduces FASTFISH-ID, a low-cost portable DNA Test for Authentication of Commercial Fish Species. This PCR-based single-tube test provides rapid authentication of any species of Commercial Fish in one easy-to-use process on a portable device in about two hours. FASTFISH-ID is fully compatible with the FDA-approved DNA-Barcoding Method for the Species Identification and eliminates the need to send samples out for time-consuming and expensive species DNA testing.
FASTFISH-ID can be implemented immediately with very little training. The test generates unique signatures associated with individual species that are automatically scored using a cloud-based algorithm, all on a portable device for rapid on-site testing. FASTFISH-ID test enables 100% accurate species verification anywhere along the supply chain by tracking the actual fish-not the fish packaging. By safeguarding the species integrity of fish products, FASTFISH-ID protects brands and consumers from the vulnerabilities of species mislabeling and enhances consumer trust and safety.
FASTFISH-ID combines ThermaGenix's unique High-Precision PCR reagent technologies-ThermaStop with a novel assay approach to achieve very high precision and sensitive species DNA authentication.
