Division (ii) Secondary molecular testing with additional molecular testing methodsF1F2
United Kingdom
In TSE cases in which the presence of BSE cannot be excluded by the primary molecular testing referred to in point (i), the samples must be submitted to further investigation and confirmation by at least one alternative method, differing immunochemically from the original primary molecular method, depending on the volume and nature of the referred material. These additional tests will be carried out by the national reference laboratory.
