- Chromatograph and mass spectrometer for the identification of mass/charge ratios of molecules.
- Instrument used for running a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for the identification of a genotype.
Note: A human eye may be an essential element of an examining system.
