Objective
Very low levels detections of viruses are today managed through either the well known PCR and nested PCR or the LCR amplification processes. These are very sensitive techniques allow recognition of just a few viral or pro-viral DNA copies by sample. Those techniques mainly used in research laboratories and university clinical laboratories or associated are very heavy to perfom requiring skilled people and expensive infrastructures. Our experience in DNA detection and quantification and the very promising DNA diagnostic market led us to find more convenient and alternative methods to the PCR and LCR in order to spread out DNA detection to bigger quantities of clinical laboratories. The objectives of this project will be to set up and adjust a full automatic machine for routine quantification and detection of nucleic acid sequences for molecular diagnostic of many pathogens, of genetic diseases or of the recognition of specific sequences in research laboratories by using the "Cycling Probe Reaction" combined to a technology called "the Particles Counting Technology" (CPR-PCT).

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
