Molecular Biology Methods for Traceability Purposes
TRACE dissemination workshop
|
BFR Berlin Germany
18-19 December 2008 |
Objective
The workshop will focus on DNA-analytical techniques, protein-based methods, and the application of molecular biology methods for traceability in food.
State of the art technologies as well as future aspects of the traceability measurement using molecular methods will be dealt with.
