Horse (Equus caballus): Cross-contamination

Description

The Horse (Equus caballus) real-time qPCR contamination kit from Primerdesign provides specific detection of horse DNA for cross-contamination monitoring in food production. Sensitive detection of trace equine material supports cleaning validation, line-changeover controls and verification that products are free from undeclared horsemeat. The TaqMan-based assay targets a horse-specific genomic sequence for robust detection in processed and heat-treated 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 Horse (Equus caballus) kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of horse (E. caballus) DNA
• Species-specific target with high sensitivity for trace contamination
• Robust detection in raw, processed and heat-treated matrices
• 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 cross-contamination monitoring, cleaning-validation and supply-chain quality control. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
