Lactococcus lactis

Description

The Lactococcus lactis real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign delivers specific detection of Lactococcus lactis, an emerging bacterial cause of lactococcosis in farmed rainbow trout and other fish, presenting with septicaemia and high mortality in warm conditions. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved, species-specific region for confident 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 Lactococcus lactis kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of Lactococcus lactis
• Species-specific target with high analytical specificity
• Sensitive detection supporting early diagnosis and carrier screening
• 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 aquaculture diagnostics, fish-health monitoring and biosecurity surveillance. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
