ID Gene™ Bluetongue genotypes 8 and 4 Triplex 2.0

PCR

Real-time RT-PCR kit for the qualitative detection of BTV genotypes 8 and 4 RNA in whole blood (in EDTA tubes), spleen or organs from aborted animals.

The ID Gene™ Bluetongue genotypes 8 and 4 Triplex test simultaneously detects in real time:

  • a target sequence specific of BTV-8, conserved in all known BTV-8 strains
  • a target sequence specific of BTV-4, conserved in all known BTV-4 strains
  • a sequence specific of a ubiquitous gene, inherently present in ruminant cells (NTPCen), in order to validate the integrity of the sample and the quality of the nucleic acid extraction

ACCURATE AND RELIABLE RESULTS
  • Exclusive detection of BTV8 and BTV4 strains thanks to:
    • Accurate detection of all BTV8 and BTV4 tested strains, including the new BTV8 strains which emerged in France in 2023
    • Excellent exclusivity with respect to all other BTV and EHDV tested isolates
  • Validated by the French National Reference Laboratory for BTV and EHDV (ANSES)
  • Very high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity
  • High robustness and stability ensuring consistency of results
CONVENIENT, EFFICIENT AND EASY TO USE
  • Optimized parallel testing for other pathogens (other BTV genotypes, EHDV, BVDV…):
    • Same reagent volumes for all ID Gene™ BTV PCR kits to secure the analytical process
    • Same amplification protocol common to all ID Gene™ PCR tests, meaning that other pathogens (BTV, BVDV, EHDV…) may be    tested on the same plate
  • Time-saving solution: obtain results in less than 50 minutes with the rapid amplification protocol
  • Ready-to-use reagents
