DEVELOPMENT OF LOOP-MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (LAMP) ASSAY FOR RAPID AND DIRECT SCREENING OF YELLOWFIN TUNA (THUNNUS ALBACARES) IN COMMERCIAL FISH PRODUCTS

Development of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid and direct screening of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in commercial fish products

Tuna is one of the most widely consumed fish on the European market, being available in various consumable options.Among them, Thunnus albacares, also called yellowfin tuna, is a delicacy and is consumed by millions of people around the world.Due to its comparatively high cost and demand, it is more vulnerable to fraud, where low-cost tuna or other

A Novel Geometry for Shear Test Using Axial Tensile Setup

This paper studies a novel geometry for the in-plane shear test performed with an axial electromechanical testing machine.In order to investigate the influence of the triaxiality rate on the mechanical behavior, different tests will be performed on the studied material: simple tensile tests, large tensile tests and shear tests.For the whole campaig
