Our patented Rapid Prion-Detection Assay is designed to test for prion diseases, such as mad cow disease, directly at the point-of-kill rather than in a laboratory. The Assay is an easy-to-use rapid strip test that can be administered by trained individuals at slaughterhouses with visual results produced in less than an hour. PDL recently achieved 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in a trial on confirmed positive and negative samples at the Veterinary Laboratory Agency in Weybridge, UK.
The firms are confident that the product will fare well in the Asian market, considering that consumers are scared off poultry in the face of the Avian flu situation. Early diagnostic kits may help boost the cattle industry.

Once again after crash Nifty has started going up. Now we suggest all rises should be used as an opportunity to exit old long positions.
This bull run will continue for few more days. Overall market is in bearish mood as in medium term its just a small rally due to short covering
and result season.
Happy Trading,
