Vibrio harveyi

Description

The Vibrio harveyi real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign provides fast, specific detection of Vibrio harveyi, a luminescent marine bacterium that causes vibriosis and luminous disease and is a leading cause of loss in shrimp hatcheries and marine fish aquaculture. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved, species-specific region for confident detection directly 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.

Key features of the Vibrio harveyi kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of Vibrio harveyi
• High specificity within the genus Vibrio
• Sensitive detection supporting hatchery and pond monitoring
• 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 shrimp and marine aquaculture diagnostics, hatchery monitoring and biosecurity. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
