VetMAX™ MastiType Myco8 Kit
Real-Time PCR
Mastitis pathogen
Product reference : A39236
The VetMAX MastiType Myco8 Kit enables rapid, accurate detection of eight mastitis-causing pathogens in bovine milk. These eight pathogens, including six highly contagious and difficult to culture Mycoplasma strains, are detected using real-time PCR amplification of DNA unique to each pathogen in two separate reactions.
The advanced technology of the VetMAX MastiType real-time PCR assays offers these advantages:
• Designed for laboratories requiring high-throughput processing methods
• Faster results—typical time from sample to result is 2.5–3 hours, compared to up to 10 days for a culture
• High accuracy—high sensitivity and specificity for all individual pathogens
• Identifies and quantifies DNA, allowing detection of viable, dead, and growth-inhibited pathogens
• Allows use of preserved milk samples, eliminating the need for cooling during sample transportation
• Can be integrated into milk recording programs using preserved milk
• Validated with convenient MagMAX CORE nucleic acid purification method that does not require aspiration and centrifugation
The VetMAX MastiType Myco8 assay detects these eight pathogens in two separate PCR reactions:
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Streptococcus agalactiae
• Mycoplasma bovis
• Mycoplasma spp.
• Mycoplasma alkalescens
• Mycoplasma bovigenitalium
• Mycoplasma californicum
• Mycoplasma canadense
