Beef (Bos taurus): Cross-contamination

Description

The Beef (Bos taurus) real-time qPCR contamination kit from Primerdesign provides specific detection of cattle DNA for cross-contamination monitoring in food production. Verifying the absence of beef is important on shared processing lines, in species-restricted products and for animal-feed controls. The TaqMan-based assay targets a cattle-specific genomic sequence with the sensitivity required to detect trace contamination in processed and heat-treated matrices.

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 Beef (Bos taurus) kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of beef (B. taurus) DNA
• Species-specific target with high sensitivity for trace contamination
• 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 cross-contamination monitoring, cleaning-validation 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.
