Erwinia amylovora PCR Detection Kit

Background Information

Erwinia amylovora is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the Enterobacteriaceae family and was the first bacterial species identified as a plant-associated pathogen. It primarily affects apple and pear trees, with additional impact on ornamental plants such as Cotoneaster, Crataegus, and Pyracantha.

This microorganism can spread rapidly through plant tissues, especially during active growth periods, potentially leading to significant reductions in fruit production and crop quality. In commercial orchards, early and reliable identification of Erwinia amylovora is essential for maintaining plant health and optimizing agricultural output. Molecular tools such as qPCR kits and TaqMan-based detection assays provide high sensitivity and specificity, supporting efficient monitoring and management strategies.

Product Description

The Erwinia amylovora qPCR Lyophilized Kit is a complete solution for the detection of Erwinia amylovora DNA in plant-related research using real-time PCR technology. This lyophilized kit is designed for high sensitivity, ease of use, and consistent performance across a variety of laboratory settings.

All essential components are included: a 2X PCR Master Mix, a specific Primer & Probe Mix, and both positive and negative controls to ensure assay reliability. An internal PCR control is provided to assess sample quality and monitor for any potential inhibition during amplification. The lyophilized format ensures easy transport and extended shelf life, with storage at -20°C recommended after delivery and reconstitution.
