The PCR diagnostic method used by Waite Diagnostics will detect the presence
of specific disease agents ONLY above a certain threshold level.
The failure to detect a specific disease agent does not guarantee the
complete absence of that disease agent from the sample analysed. In any
diagnostic assay, there is a lower limit of detection of a disease agent below
which that agent cannot be detected by the above-mentioned techniques used by
Waite Diagnostics.
Whilst a negative assay result can mean the complete absence of the disease
agent, the disease agent may, in some cases, be present at such a low level that
it cannot be detected. In any such plants, the disease agent may eventually
multiply to a much higher level, at which it can then be detected, and symptoms of
infection may appear.
As a consequence, Waite Diagnostics cannot guarantee that a sample producing
a negative assay result will be completely free of the disease agents being tested
for on behalf of the customer. Therefore the client assumes all risk and liability.
Clients should use the assay results as an indicator only of the presence of the
disease agent but should not rely upon the results as conclusive of the complete
absence of the disease agent in the sample provided. Waite Diagnostics assumes
no liability.
It is also important to note that the PCR diagnostic assay requires two short DNA
primers that are specific for each of the viruses and for the phytoplasmas
assayed. The sequence of these DNA primers is determined by the nucleotide
sequence of the genetic material being tested, RNA for the grapevine viruses and
DNA for grapevine yellows phytoplasmas.
Waite Diagnostics makes clear to the client that there may be strains of one
or more of these pathogens that cannot be detected with the specific DNA
primers used for the PCR assay.
9. Results provided by Waite Diagnostics are STRICTLY LIMITED to assays of
ACTUAL SAMPLES provided by the client and to the time of sampling. The client
must not assume that the same results apply to any vines other than the specific
plants actually sampled at a certain time. Clients should not represent or imply
that the results apply other than to the actual samples provided for assay. The client
releases and indemnifies Waite Diagnostics in respect of any loss or liability
incurred as a consequence of any such representations, which remain at all times
the sole responsibility of the client.
The Client agrees to the terms and conditions of the Service Agreement.
ARI agrees to supply the Services and Deliverables as described above in return for the Fee and in accordance
with the standard terms and conditions attached.
