Fish Identification Methods

• Requires expert for identification

• Only applicable to whole fish

Morphology

• Processing can destroy proteins

• Limited polymorphism betweenspecies

• Difficult to interpret (e.g. IEF)

• Influenced by environment

Protein-based methods

• Objective results

• More resistant to sample processing

• Easy to perform

• High specificity/sensitivity

DNA-based methods

Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100

September 15, 20096

• First commercially available

Lab-on-a-Chip product (1999)

• Industry‘s ONLY microfluidics-

based platform that can

analyze DNA, RNA, proteins

and cells

• Results in ~30 minutes

• More than 6500 publications

• Gold-Standard for the analysis

of RNA

• 21 CFR Part 11 compliant

(electronic records)

Chip and Electrode Cartridge Molecular Assays

On-chip gel electrophoresis for the analysis of RNA, DNA and proteins

• Chips accommodate 12 sample wells, gel wells

and a well for a sizing standard (ladder)

• Gel matrix is injected into etched channels

on the chip

• Sample mixed with size marker and loaded

• A16-pin electrode in the lid fits into the wells

on the chip

• Electrokinetic force drives DNA through the

separation channel and past the detector

Gel wells

Bioanalyzer Instrumentation Enhances

Ease-of-Use and Accuracy of Pattern Matching

• Visual inspection of agarose gels and comparison to validated patterns is

tedious and prone to error

• Bioanalyzer fragment resolution is superior to agarose gels

• Peak information can be automatically extracted and fed into pattern

matching software

• Expanding authenticated profiles database (in conjunction with Steve

Garrett’s lab at Campden BRI): ~50 authenticated (gadoids, salmonids, flatfish) +

100s of theoretical

• Beta-testing of the Agilent Fish Species Identification System is underway

with a major European seafood products manufacturer

• Quick adoption by staff new to DNA testing

• Expected commercial availability of the Agilent Fish Species Identification

Kit is early 2010, shortly following the adoption of stricter import certification

requirements in the EU
