AccuPower® Lactococcus garvieae Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

L. garvieae is a gram-positive bacterium and is pathogenic to farmed fish such as rainbow trout, yellowtail, and mullet. Infected farmed fish show symptoms such as clouding of the eyes, discoloration of the gills, bleeding of the fins, and abdominal distension and finally leading to death. It is an important pathogen that causes collective outbreaks when water temperature rises in summer time. Infection of L. garvieae causes large economic losses in both marine and freshwater aquaculture.

Features and Benefits

• Convenience
  All reactants necessary for Real-Time PCR are included in a tube, it allows any user to simply perform reaction by adding template DNA and DEPC-D.W.
  
  
• Sensitivity
  By applying the patented PyroHotStart(Enzyme-mediated HotStart) technology that minimizes non-specific reactions and maximizes reaction efficiency, only the target gene can be effectively amplified even with a trace amount of template DNA.
