The development of an ultrasonic apparatus for the noninvasive and repeatable removal of fouling in food processing equipment.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Most of the current research into the quantification of soil-borne pathogenic oomycetes lacks determination of DNA extraction efficiency, probably leading to an incorrect estimation of DNA quantity. In this study, we developed a convenient method by using a 100 bp artificially synthesized DNA sequence derive...
