Lab Diagnosis for Plant Diseases

I need reliable, laboratory-based identification of the pathogen currently causing symptoms in my plants. You’ll receive physical samples from me and use whatever mix of culturing, microscopy, molecular assays (PCR, ELISA, etc.) you deem appropriate to pin down the causal agent. Although the affected specimens come from a mixed collection, please be comfortable working with crop, ornamental, or even forestry material—accuracy is all that matters.

Deliverables
• A clear, concise report explaining your methods, results and the final disease identification (ideally to species level)
• High-resolution images of symptomatic tissues and any diagnostic plates, gels or chromatograms you generate
• Practical suggestions for additional confirmatory tests or next-step management actions, if relevant

Turnaround should be no more than 10 days from the moment you receive the samples. In your bid, outline your lab facilities, diagnostic experience and any certifications that demonstrate you can handle plant pathogens safely and confidentially.
