## Description

The MPLC instruments are used by the Molecular Biology Team for automated DNA and RNA extraction from clinical samples for PCR testing\. Clinical samples are submitted from various animals via post and PM rooms, where the veterinarian would like to detect certain diseases that we test for\. The automation of the process allows us a high and quick thorough put and enables staff to carry out other duties\. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions\. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered\. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra\.
