Real-time RT-PCR for the qualitative detection of all serotypes of the Bluetongue virus in ruminant blood samples
This qualitative duplex test simultaneously amplifies a target sequence in the BTV genome, and an endogenous internal control.
The only commercial BTV PCR which includes a target positive control*:
- to be extracted along with field samples in order to evaluate extraction efficiency
- calibrated at between 10 and 100 times the method detection limit in order to monitor variations in analytical sensitivity
Other features:
- Detects all BTV serotypes
- Rapid (1 hour) or standard (2 hour) amplification protocols
- Compatible with most extraction systems (magnetic beads, silica columns) and with all thermocyclers
- Uses the same extraction and amplification protocols common to all ID Gene™ PCR tests so that other pathogens (DNA or RNA) may be tested on the same plate
- High performance: DLPCR< 10 copies / PCR and specificity of 100%.
- Validated by the French national reference laboratory and according to the French standard NFU47-600-2.
- Ready-to-use reagents mean that the amplification reaction mix contains all the primers, probes and master mix required to run the qPCR.
* Target positive control included in the kit: inactivated BTV, diluted in a virus-negative whole blood matrix, freeze-dried and calibrated at between 10 and 100 times the detection limit of the method (MDL).
