4 Services for Industry Scientific services/ Studies Analytical services/ Controls Consultancy services Start up / Spinoff assistance Training services Outfitted common spaces Bioinformatic services Intellectual Property Services

5 Analytical services: studies& controls Genomics Proteomics Chemistry Bioinformatics A powerful tool for: Genotyping Food Traceability Food Safety Analytical controls

6 PGP (PTP GenomicPlatform) High-throughput sample handling Biorepository analysis of molecular markers Genomic analysis for food safety and traceability Genomic analysis services for PTP research units and companies AccreditedtoISO9001 standard Accredited to ACCREDIA standard

7 Moleculartools SNPs Microsatellites(SSR) PGP Quantitative analysis ILLUMINA TILLING

8 Examplesofcontrols Food safety: GMO detection; Food allergen detection; Foodborne pathogen identification. Food traceability: meat origin(animal species identification); fish species identification; plant DNA fingerprinting; bovine meat traceability; typical food products typing(arisa and proteomic).

9 Examplesofcontrols Methods for the detection and quantification of nematode parasites in fish and fish products DNA test forfood allergen identification

10 Examples of controls GMO analysis Plant DNA fingerprinting

11 Examplesofstudies Sequencing projects of bacteriastrain: Oenococcus oeni Traceabilityin the tomatoprocessing industry

12 Studyexamples DNA Chip for pathogen detection in dairy cattle mastitis Genetictest in cattle breeding

13 Case study Provolone Valpadana cheese The project, financed by the Consortium Provolone Valpadana, aimed at identifying unique markers for the characterisation of Provolone Valpadana DOP Cheese A total of 600 Provolone cheese samples were collected from 8 different factories within the Consortium and other 8 distinct factories producing generic Provolone. The current study identified 2 molecular markers able to distinguish the DOP products from the generic cheese production. A blind test on 5 samples could confirm the validity of this method up to 98% of specificity.

14 Case study functional food Selections of dairy cows for the variant of A2 beta casein protein; High antioxidant content rice varieties; Milk protein derived bioactive peptides; Improving lycopene content in tomato; Probiotics characterization; Genome sequencing projects.

15 Trademark DNA Controllato DNA Controllato This registered trademark from PTP is a tool for the agro-food chain in order to offer a valid Food Safety warranty and product traceability to the market.
