Brief description
SalivaTec is a laboratory dedicated to saliva research, included in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Health of the Health Sciences Institute of Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Viseu, Portugal. The laboratory is equipped with state of the art technology for the detection of protein and nucleic acids in small sample volumes. Multiplex detection (MILLIPLEX MAP Human Neuropeptide Magnetic Bead Panel with BioPlex MAGPIX Multiplex Reader System; CCD camera; BioPlex Data Pro™ software) as well as RT-PCR and capillary electrophoresis enable not only identification but also the quantification of minute concentrations of analytes (DNA, RNA and protein) in a variety of sample types. The main goal of SalivaTec is the validation of biomarker panels proposed by in silico studies using bioinformatics tools developed in the laboratory (Oralcard - http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/OralCard/, OralInt and NeuroOme).
