VetMAX™-Gold AIV Detection Kit

Description

• A highly sensitive, qualitative, one-step, real-time RT-PCR assay to detect Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) RNA isolated from poultry (chicken/turkey) oropharyngeal/tracheal swab samples The VetMAX™-Gold AIV Detection Kit is a screening tool that detects sequences representing portions of the viral matrix (two distinct targets) and nucleoprotein (one target) These are genes that are common to all AIV subtypes and found on viral RNA extracted from poultry samples Assay is a single-well/tube, real-time RT-PCR assay in which RNA is reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and AIV and Xeno™ RNA targets are amplified and detected in real time using fluorescent TaqMan™ probes (hydrolysis probe chemistry) Within the U.S., laboratories must receive authorization from their state veterinarian prior to ordering and using this kit for the diagnosis of myobacterium avium spp
• paratuberculosis Similar product use restrictions may exist in other countries, at the discretion of the relevant veterinary authority Kit is not intended for differentiating AIV subtypes Kit Includes: Influenza Virus-Xeno™ RNA Control Mix: serves as a positive control for the real-time RT-PCR components and used to set the cycle threshold (CT) for evaluating test results Xeno™ RNA Control: serves as an internal positive control for the RNA purification process and used to monitor for the presence of PCR inhibitors Influenza Virus Primer Probe Mix: for optimized multiplex real-time RT-PCR amplification of Xeno™ RNA Control and AIV RNA targets
