New primers and probe set to identify H5N1 Avian Influenza
PCR/qPCR solution from Integrated DNA Technologies will support the surveillance and monitoring of the current H5N1 strain of bird flu
28 Jun 2024
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has launched the Avian Influenza Type A (H5) Primers and Probe Set to enable researchers to identify, target, and trace the presence of clade 2.3.4.4b of the H5N1 virus across bird, environmental, dairy cow, and poultry farm samples.
The new offering is available for online ordering through IDT’s Tech Access Program. IDT’s Avian Influenza A (H5) Primers and Probe Set is manufactured in a certified, template-free environment and includes an internal control to help confirm false negatives. An Avian Influenza positive sample control is also available.
The Avian Influenza A (H5) Primers and Probe Set is compatible with IDT’s PrimeTime™ 1-Step 4X Broad-Range qPCR Master Mix. Formulated as an inhibitor resistant, high-performance master mix that allows for direct amplification of crude samples, the one-step Master Mix provides researchers with a premium option that can save time and costs associated with doing extractions from viral transport media (VTM) prior to the amplification step, helping to enrich endpoint florescence and optimize data confidence. The Master Mix features an exclusive mutant enzyme ideal for viral research.
