This product has been discontinued. The qPCR instrument of choice for Thermo Scientific™ PathoProof™ assays that target DNA in bovine milk samples is now the Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast qPCR instrument.
Key Features
The instrument and laptop computer include a one-year warranty. The software changes the Ct-values to semi-quantitative results and reports the most abundant target if it is present in over 90% of the total bacterial load. The software license is for 1 to 5 users.
PathoProof RT-PCR assays identify the main mastitis-causing microorganisms and the Staphylococcal β-lactamase gene responsible for the penicillin resistance in Staphylococci. These microorganisms are responsible for 95 to 99% of all clinical and subclinical mastitis cases worldwide.
- Assays are based on real-time PCR, an accurate and sensitive technology for identification of the target DNA in the sample
- Tests can be used for analyzing fresh and preserved quarter milk samples, milk recording samples and bulk tank milk samples
- All targeted species are detected simultaneously, overcoming the common problem of mixed growth results of bacterial culturing
- Validation studies indicate superior analytical specificity and sensitivity over traditional methods, even for samples that show “no growth” in culture
- Accurate detection of viable, dead and growth-inhibited microorganisms reduces “no-growth” results
