Summary |
A university in Kyiv (Ukraine) offers the technology for designing of diagnostic kits for plant viruses based on molecular and serological approaches. High sensitivity and specificity, competitive pricing and experience of the staff involved are among the advantages of the proposal. The university is looking for long-term partners interested in establishing production facilities for designing and producing kits for diagnostics of plant viruses. |
Description |
Diagnostics of virus infections in plant production can be conducted by serological or molecular methods. It allows defining the spectrum and prevalence of plant viruses present in the agro-ecosystems and in seed material and timely develop the proper prophylactic measures. The University has necessary experience, scientific personnel and modern equipment, and developed technology for generating polyclonal virus-specific antisera and designing specific oligonucleotide probes for plant viruses for their subsequent use in the diagnostic kits. These diagnostic kits will be used for plant virus detection in seed material, vegetative mass and soil. |
Advantages and Innovations |
The main advantages are the following: - high sensitivity and specificity - competitive pricing (the calculated costs for production are 1,5-2 times lower comparing to marketed analogs) - growing demand at the Ukrainian market coupled with absence of internal competitors |
