Chicken (Gallus gallus): Bird Speciation

Description

The Chicken (Gallus gallus) real-time qPCR speciation kit from Primerdesign provides specific identification of chicken DNA in meat and processed food products. As the most widely consumed poultry species, sensitive chicken detection is central to food-authenticity verification, label compliance and detection of undeclared admixture. The TaqMan-based assay targets a chicken-specific genomic sequence for robust detection even in minced and heat-treated samples.

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 the target sequence.

Key features of the Chicken (Gallus gallus) kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of chicken (G. gallus) DNA
• Species-specific target that discriminates chicken from other poultry
• Robust detection in raw, processed and heat-treated matrices
• Primer/probe mix and positive control template included
• Advanced format adds an internal extraction control and a quantification standard
• Compatible with standard real-time PCR instruments

It is ideally suited to food-authenticity testing, label-compliance verification and supply-chain quality control. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
