Aspergillus flavus

Description

The Aspergillus flavus real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign provides specific detection of Aspergillus flavus, a mould that spoils crops, nuts and stored commodities and produces carcinogenic aflatoxins, making it a key food- and feed-safety target. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved, species-specific genomic region for sensitive 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.

Key features of the Aspergillus flavus kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of Aspergillus flavus
• Species-specific target distinguishing it from related aspergilli
• Sensitive detection supporting mycotoxin-risk and storage control
• Primer/probe mix and positive control template included
• Compatible with standard real-time PCR instruments

It is ideally suited to food- and feed-safety testing, grain-storage monitoring and quality control. Available in the Standard format, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
