Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)

Description

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) real-time qPCR speciation kit from Primerdesign provides specific identification of platypus DNA in biological and food samples. Specialist species-identification assays such as this support food-authenticity testing, wildlife and forensic investigation, and research applications where confirmation of an unusual species is required. The TaqMan-based assay targets a platypus-specific genomic sequence for robust detection across sample types.

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 Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) kit

• Real-time qPCR (TaqMan) detection of platypus (O. anatinus) DNA
• Highly specific target with no cross-reactivity to common species
• Robust detection in raw, processed and degraded samples
• 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 suited to food-authenticity testing, wildlife and forensic analysis and research applications. Available in Standard (qualitative) and Advanced (quantitative) formats, with detailed set-up and result interpretation described in the included IFU/handbook.
