The kit is sensitive and specific for the detection of ASFV DNA, allowing for reliable and rapid screening during outbreaks and monitoring situations. It has been validated by the European Union Reference Laboratory.The kit has been used since 2015 during outbreaks in Eastern Europe for clinical sign confirmation and detection of domestic and wild pigs affected by ASFV.
The kit includes:
• A ready-to-use master mix for the detection of the ASFV target and the internal positive control
• A positive control for ASFV
• An internal positive control
The kit includes:
• 3 - Mix ASFV: Contains primers, TaqMan® probes, buffer, and enzyme for optimized duplex real-time PCR amplification of ASFV and IPC targets.
• 4a - EPC ASFV: Nucleic acid template for P72 target amplification. It serves as an external positive control for the real-time PCR reaction, and it is used to set the cycle threshold (Ct ) for evaluating test results.
• 5 - IPC ASFV: Internal positive control added to each sample and control at the lysis step of the DNA extraction procedure. It serves as a control for the DNA purification process, and it is used to monitor for the presence of PCR inhibitors.
