Hi, Our lab also performs real-time quantitative PCR testing for ranaviruses as well (using a MCP probe). For more information, please see the following website: http://sbs.wsu.edu/facilities/amphibian-disease-diagnostic-laboratory/ Best, Andrew On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 11:34 AM, Allan Pessier <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Our lab is offering real-time PCR for diagnostic or research > applications on a fee-for-service and collaborative basis.
