Fig. 8   ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer

Function/capability:

  • automates all aspects of multi-color DNA sizing and sequencing in a single capillary
  • 1 base detection for fragments up to 250nt within 30 minutes
  • Over 600 bases can be electrophoresed with a standard 2 hours 45 minutes cycle time, while 400 bases can be electrophorsed with only a 1 hours cycle time.

Research projects:

  • Oral microbes culture independent identification (Dr WK Leung)

Recent publication:

  • WK Leung, BPK Cheung, JYY Yau. Utility of 16S rDNA PCR detection of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans from subgingival plaque samples of periodontal disease free young adults. (Submission under progress)
