Nanobiosensor for Detection and Quantification of DNA Sequences in Degraded Mixed Meats

Figure 7

Determination of pork in raw (a) autoclaved (b) pork-beef binary admixtures by porcine-specific nanobiosensor probes. Approximate ratios of probes to targets at various percentage of pork in raw-pork beef mixtures are shown in (a). The expected and estimated probe/target ratios in autoclaved mixed meat samples are shown on the left and right sides of each point in (b). Each point is an average of three readings. The standard deviations at each point are shown in error bars. Note that quantitation is not valid at too low or too high concentration of target DNA.
