Genetically Modified Organism (GMO): GMO has become the big issaue for the kitchen of the world like Thailand. DNATECogy laboratory was the first and the most reliable laboratory for the quantitative analysis of GMO testing services in Thailand considering the turn-around time and its low detection limit (0.1%).
DNA Marker Development: For plants and animals with no molecular marker information, we also provide full scale services for developing DNA markers especially microsatellite and AFLP markers. DNATEC also provides fast and reliable services in marker-aided selection (MAS).
DNA fingerprinting : DNATEC provides certificates of purity for hybrid seeds and its parental seeds. The verification of plant or animal species especially species of tuna fishes have become the major trade barrier. Recently, DNATEC plays an important role in prohibited importing of any cattle produces from the Mad-cow (BSE)-infected countries.
