ESP is a fully automated underwater molecular laboratory that currently uses three methods for molecular detection: sandwich hybridization (SHA), fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR), or competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). But ESP is not limited to these two methods. Instrument manufacturers will constantly update and adopt new molecular methods suitable for ESP. Users can also develop and program new molecular methods for ESP application. | |||||
At present, the probes used for detection mainly target some toxic algae, bacteria, and planktonic animals, but the types that can be detected are not limited to the ones listed below. Not rightESPWith any modifications made to the hardware system, it is only necessary to design appropriate probes and reagent kits to detect new types. | |||||
