  • The developed PCR method resulted in a significantly higher concentration of labeled probe compared to random primer labeling.
  • PCR demonstrated rapidity and economy as a labeling technique.

Conclusions:

  • PCR is a highly effective technique for the synthesis of digoxigenin (Dig)-labeled DNA probes.
  • The developed PCR method offers advantages in terms of efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
  • This technique is suitable for labeling small DNA fragments and genomic DNA, with applications in microbial diagnostics.
