Product overview

A PCR assay designed for psittacine beak and feather disease virus (PBFDV). PBFDV is a significant pathogen of parrots; this kit detects PBFDV nucleic acid and is used in parrot breeding and pet-bird health management.

Technical features

🎯

High specificity

Specific primers and probes are designed against conserved pathogen regions to reduce non-specific amplification.

🔬

High sensitivity

Fluorescent probe chemistry is sensitive enough to detect low-copy-number nucleic acid.

🛡️

Anti-contamination

A built-in dUTP/UNG system removes false positives caused by residual PCR aerosol.

📊

Reliable results

Supplied with internal-control quality checks to support confidence in the process and the result.

Workflow

1 Sample collection: collect throat swabs, cloacal swabs or faecal samples using standard technique
2 Nucleic acid extraction: extract DNA/RNA from the sample
3 Set-up and amplification: add the reaction mix and run the amplification programme
4 Result interpretation: read the result from the fluorescence signal together with the internal control
