Neoparamoeba perurans

Description

The Neoparamoeba perurans real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign enables specific detection of Neoparamoeba perurans, the free-living amoeba that causes amoebic gill disease (AGD), a major and growing cause of loss in farmed Atlantic salmon. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved, species-specific region for sensitive detection directly from gill tissue, supporting early gill-health management.

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.

Key features of the Neoparamoeba perurans kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of Neoparamoeba perurans
• Species-specific target with high analytical specificity
• Sensitive detection from gill tissue for early AGD management
• 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 salmon gill-health diagnostics, treatment timing and biosecurity surveillance. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
