CEFAS22-26 RFQ for DNA extraction, metabarcoding, and bioinformatics of marine environmental samples for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (ABFT)

Cefas require the successful supplier to provide services for DNA to be extracted from 116 frozen Sterivex cartridges (Millipore; SVGP01050). The cartridges consist of 29 samples in triplicate, and 29 field blanks. Following extraction, Cefas require half the extracted DNA to be sent back to the Cefas laboratory in Lowestoft so we can undertake qPCR (e.g., each of the extracted samples will be halved, one half will be used for metabarcoding, while the other half will be used for qPCR). Cefas require the extracted D...
