Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
is conducted on samples using Real Time PCR (RT-PCR). Specimens
are accepted and are extracted for fungal DNA. Once extracted
specific DNA probes are used to help identify which species of
mold is present in the tissue. The probes used in RealTime
Laboratories, LLC, are listed below:
