On May 27, 2003, the "Fast SARS
Genetic Testing Technique for Food Sources," developed
by the China
Agricultural University, passed the S&T evaluation check
organized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. By taking
advantage of the nest polymerase chain reaction, the new
technique is able to work on fast, accurate, and highly
sensitive genetic testing of SARS viruses embedded in food.
In addition, the new technique is also able to reduce the
possible risks in operation by avoiding the process of virus
separation and collection.
Experts who paneled
the evaluation check believe that the new
technique has broad
application possibilities. It may be used to
quickly test SARS genes in food sources and block the spread
of SARS viruses from the same sources. At the same time it
can provide the technical means for China's food import
& export quarantine examination.
