Aspergillus species

Description

The Aspergillus species real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign provides broad detection of Aspergillus moulds in food and feed. Several Aspergillus species spoil commodities and produce harmful mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and ochratoxin A, making early detection important for food-safety and storage management. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved region of the genus, giving 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. 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 Aspergillus species kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) genus-level detection of Aspergillus
• Broad coverage of food-spoilage and mycotoxigenic species
• Sensitive detection supporting storage and food-safety control
• 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 food- and feed-safety testing, storage monitoring and quality control. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
