Brucella qPCR Detection Kit – real-time PCR with fluorescent probe
The Brucella qPCR Detection Kit detects Brucella DNA by real-time PCR with a fluorescent probe. Molecular detection avoids the long and demanding culture of Brucella.
- Real-time PCR with fluorescent probe
- Ready-to-use reaction mix and controls
- 48 tests
How Brucella qPCR Detection Kit works
The DNA is extracted from the sample and amplified with Brucella-specific primers and probe. The Ct value shows whether the target is present; positive and negative controls are run in every series.
Applications and practical notes
Molecular kits detect Burkholderia gladioli and Brucella within hours, without long culture. Typical applications include:
- Fermented rice and corn products
- Edible fungi and starch products
- Milk and animal samples (Brucella)
- Laboratories with PCR or LAMP equipment
Working with Brucella qPCR Detection Kit: Open the reaction tubes only after the run in a separate area, or not at all, and run a positive and a negative control every time.
Good practice with rapid tests: store the kit as stated on the label, let the components reach room temperature before use and use each item only once. Record the lot number and the result, and confirm positive results according to the reference method when this is required.
About the Burkholderia and Brucella methods: the USP chapter <60> describes the test for the Burkholderia cepacia complex in non-sterile pharmaceutical products, with enrichment and plating on Burkholderia cepacia selective agar (BCSA). Burkholderia gladioli, formerly known as Pseudomonas cocovenenans, produces bongkrekic acid in fermented cereal products and is isolated on PCFA agar. Brucella is detected in animal samples and milk mainly by molecular methods, because its culture is slow and needs a high biosafety level. COLO.Science offers supplements and rapid tests for these applications.
