High-throughput surveillance for ARGs in environmental samples

GUEST WEBINAR

To mitigate the global health threat posed by antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), it is necessary to identify and track their prevalence in a variety of environments and sample types. The potential screening method needs to be low-cost, with a short turnaround time and have the flexibility to allow modifications and addition of targets.

High-throughput real-time PCR (qPCR) is the technique most adopted for monitoring ARGs in a wide range of samples. Since 2019, Resistomap has been working on global monitoring of ARGs in the environment using the SmartChip Real-Time PCR System.

Hear Dr. Windi Muziasari, CEO of Resistomap, talk about using the high-throughput, SmartChip technology to provide information on the prevalence of the target genes in environmental samples.

Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat. Monitoring antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from environmental samples requires methods which are low-cost, have a short turnaround time, and, can be standardized. This webinar illustrates how Resistomap combines culture-independent laboratory and high-throughput gene quantification methods using the SmartChip Real-Time PCR system with a digital platform for data analysis and visualization. Applied in routine monitoring, this strategy can provide early warning to contain potential outbreaks.

Learn how Resistomap uses Takara Bio's SmartChip Real-Time PCR System for detection of ARGs from different types of environmental samples
Understand how you can leverage up to 5,184 qPCR reactions on a single chip to achieve high-quality and high-throughput results
