African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV)

ID Gene™ African Swine Fever Duplex

PCR

Real-time qPCR for the qualitative detection of a target sequence in the African Swine Fever (ASFV) viral genome in multiple sample types

The test amplifies

  • a target sequence
  • an endogenous internal control, to ascertain presence and correct conservation of the sample

A  standardized, freeze-dried positive external control to monitor variations in analytical sensitivity is sold separately (product code : PEC-ASF).

Advantages

Specifications

Format

  • High performance: DLPCR 2.5 copies / PCR
  • Rapid: 1-hour amplification protocol
  • Ready-to-use: no-need for reagent pre-mixing
  • Flexible: uses the same amplification protocol common to all ID Gene™ PCR tests: test other pathogens on the same plate
  • Practical: Proven stability allows for cost-effective shipping worldwide, without temperature control (no dry ice required)
  • Reliable: Validated by the EURL (CISA-INIA, Spain) and extensively used in ASF control programs around the world
