DXS has granted ETS Laboratories an additional license to use Scorpions technology to test for the presence of organisms that could contaminate biofuel fermentations.
This new license is an addition to an existing license agreement under which ETS uses Scorpions to detect organisms that could cause spoilage in wine or juice.
While the real-time PCR Scorpions technology can be utilised in a wide range of genetic diagnostic applications, it can also be used for a variety of other purposes including environmental analysis, food testing and biothreat detection, due to its high sensitivity and fast reaction times.
'Scorpions allows ETS to quickly and efficiently test wines for potentially damaging contaminants and we know it will be equally effective for monitoring biofuel fermentations,' said Gordon Burns, president of ETS Laboratories.
