Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Description

The Vibrio parahaemolyticus real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign enables rapid, sensitive and specific detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a halophilic bacterium that affects tilapia and shellfish and is also a leading cause of seafood-associated gastroenteritis in humans. Its dual relevance to animal health and public health makes reliable molecular screening valuable across the aquaculture and food chains. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved, species-specific genomic region for confident detection from extracted nucleic acid.

Each kit supplies a ready-to-use primer and probe mix together with a positive control template, providing a complete workflow from extracted DNA on any standard real-time PCR platform. The Advanced format additionally includes an internal extraction control to flag inhibition and a copy-number standard curve for absolute quantification of pathogen load.
