Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)

Description

The Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) real-time qPCR speciation kit from Primerdesign provides specific identification of Atlantic cod DNA in fish and seafood products. With cod among the most frequently substituted fish species, sensitive identification underpins seafood-authenticity verification and accurate labelling. The TaqMan-based assay targets a cod-specific genomic sequence and discriminates it from related gadoids, giving robust detection even in processed and heat-treated products.

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 the target sequence.

Key features of the Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) kit
