Effects of electron-beam irradiation on whole genome amplification.
Electron-beam (E-beam) irradiation, currently being used to sterilize mail addressed to selected ZIP codes in the United States, has significant negative effects on the genomic integrity of DNA extracted from buccal-cell washes. We investigated the yield, composition, and genotyping performance of whole genome amplified DNA (wgaDNA) derived from 24 matched samples of E-beam-irradiated and nonir...
متن کاملEffects of gamma and electron beam irradiation on viability and DNA elimination of Staphylococcus aureus
Background: Owing to the inability of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to distinguish between signals originating from viable cells and DNA released from dead cells, (i.e. it can detect dead cells) a risk exists that DNA from dead cells can result in false-positive PCR signals, so it is important to use a proper method for sterilization to maintain the accuracy of the quantitative real...
متن کاملElectron Beam Irradiation Applications
The irradiation of materials with electron beams or X rays is used extensively to enhance or modify their physical, chemical or biological properties. These electron beam “irradiators” cover a very wide range of accelerators technology, beam current and energies to produce a wide variety of products, mostly with polymers. They also are used for curing ink, coatings, and adhesives as well as for...
متن کاملEffects of Electron-Beam Irradiation of the Diet on Microbial Population, Intestinal Morphology, Ileal Digestibility and Performance of Broilers
A total of 300 one-day old male broilers (Cobb 500) were randomly divided into four treatment groups. The groups comprised of 15 birds each, and were defined by diet and the birds in each group were fed 0 (control), 3, 5, or 7 kGy electron-beam irradiated diets. A total of 5 replicates were performed. The chemical composition of the diet was not affected by irradiation.Irradiation doses of 5 an...
متن کاملEffect of Electron Beam Irradiation on Viability of Sarcocystis spp. in Beef
Background: Sarcocystosis is one of the most distributed parasitic diseases over the world, caused by Sarcocystis spp. In this study, we assessed the effect of electron beam irradiation on the viability of Sarcocystis spp. in beef. Methods: Experimental beef groups were irradiated by four different electron beam doses of 1, 2, 3, and 4 kGy, at intervals of 0 and 24 h after irradiation, then t...
