Frequently Asked Questions

QAID's DNA-microarray platform handles plant, microbial, meat, and seafood matrices. Whether you're verifying a botanical extract, screening for microbial contamination, or authenticating a meat or seafood blend, our four specialized panels cover the full workflow.

A single microarray run can simultaneously detect and quantify many target species in one sample, including their proportional contribution. Conventional PCR is limited to a small number of targets per reaction, so multi-species mixtures typically require multiple sequential tests.

Standard turnaround is a few business days from sample receipt to certified report. Rush options are available for time-sensitive supply-chain decisions — contact us with your specifics and we'll confirm a target date.

Yes. Our laboratory operations are aligned to ISO 17025 expectations with full chain-of-custody, validated methods, and traceable reporting. Reports include the methodology, controls, and quantification needed for regulatory and audit contexts.

Absolutely. We treat every sample as confidential by default and can sign mutual NDAs before any work begins. Sample data and results are protected at every step.
