Deer (Cervus elaphus)

Description

The Deer (Cervus elaphus) real-time qPCR speciation kit from Primerdesign provides specific identification of deer (venison) DNA in meat and processed food products. Reliable identification of game species supports food-authenticity verification, game-meat labelling and detection of undeclared substitution. The TaqMan-based assay targets a deer-specific genomic sequence for robust detection even in processed 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.
