Salmonella
Pathogen DetectionPrimers are designed against Salmonella-specific nucleic acid sequences to detect Salmonella in faeces and cloacal swabs by PCR. For early diagnosis of Salmonella infection (paratyphoid) in racing pigeons and for screening carrier birds within a loft.
Specific primers and probes are designed against conserved pathogen regions to reduce non-specific amplification.
Fluorescent probe chemistry is sensitive enough to detect low-copy-number nucleic acid.
A built-in dUTP/UNG system removes false positives caused by residual PCR aerosol.
Supplied with internal-control quality checks to support confidence in the process and the result.
