the Laboratory for Biological Analysis and References, we use microbiological and metrologically traceable molecular biological detection methods for the quantification of nucleic acids. We thus support the areas of laboratory medicine and food safety.</p> <p>We are the <b>point of contact and service provider</b> for questions regarding the metrological traceability of nucleic acid tests. Our laboratory operates the two national reference laboratories for genetically modified organisms in food (NRL-GMOs) and for food-borne viruses (NRL-Viruses) and carries out molecular and microbiological analyses on an agency basis. Our work is part of intensive European and worldwide efforts to improve the comparability, measurement accuracy and traceability of biological and laboratory medicine measurements.</p> <p>With our activities in the field of metrologically traceable nucleic acid tests, we are neither a controller nor a primary diagnostic provider. In the interests of the health of the Swiss population, we make our knowledge and experience available to the actors working in the laboratory sector.</p> <p>We are committed to the continuous development of new analysis methods – and the improvement of existing ones – to ensure that we provide high-quality and efficient analytics. Our Laboratory for Biological Analysis and References and Chemical Tests and Consultancy department are both accredited to the SN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 standard (accreditation number STS 0119).</p> <p>In order to keep up with the latest technology and to further develop our measurement options, we continuously carry out research and development projects.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tab-pane clearfix " id="tab_0__content_metas_en_home_fabe_biologische_analytik_und_referenzen_jcr_content_par_tabs"> <h2 class="sr-only visible-print-block">Services</h2> <div class="mod mod-textimage"> <div class="clearfix"> <figure style="max-width:inherit"><img src="/metas/en/home/fabe/biologische_analytik_und_referenzen/_jcr_content/par/tabs/items/tab_0/tabpar/textimage/image.imagespooler.jpg/1712558652120/588.1000/Nuklein_kai2.png" alt=""/></figure> <p>We detect nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) quantitatively and qualitatively.

We keep our measurement facilities and capacities in line with the latest advances in technology by means of our research and development projects. This also applies, in particular, to the two national reference laboratories that we operate. This enables us to continue offering the top-quality services you need and foster innovation over the long term. However, we also collaborate on these projects with other metrology institutes in Europe (EURAMET) and around the world (BIPM: CCQM-NAWG). We are happy to offer assistance with placements, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses.</p> <p>Based on international cooperation, reference materials are produced and the necessary measurement methods for the metrological traceability of the values are developed.</p> <p><b>Research projects<br> </b>The Laboratory for Biological Analysis and References participates in major European projects such as GenomeMET, in which metrological infrastructure and applications for the genomic typing of cancer are to be developed.</p> <p>We are involved in European collaborative projects such as the European Metrology Network for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine TraceLabMed. The task is to jointly provide coordinated and service-oriented European metrology infrastructure. This European network is integrated into a global collaboration in the context of the Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC).</p> </div> </div> <div class="multilist " id="id_6f8c56fdb5fd8273a72b78c62f438ee2-box"> <h3> Further information </h3> <div class=""
