Celery (Apium graveolens)

Description

The Celery (Apium graveolens) real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign provides specific detection of celery DNA in food products. Celery is a regulated allergen that must be declared on food labels, and reliable detection of hidden or cross-contaminating celery supports allergen management and consumer safety. The TaqMan-based assay targets a celery-specific genomic sequence, giving sensitive detection even of trace amounts in complex and processed matrices.

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 Celery (Apium graveolens) kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of celery (A. graveolens) DNA
• Allergen-specific target with high sensitivity for trace material
• Robust detection in complex, processed and heat-treated foods
• 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 allergen-labelling verification, cleaning-validation and food-safety quality control. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
