PRImeDETECT™ Legionella Plus PCR Detection Kit
PRImeDETECT™ Legionella spp Plus Detection Kit (Legionella spp & Legionella pneumophila) is an ideal tool for an fast and reliable Amplification and Detection of specific DNA fragments from Legionella spp and/or Legionella pneumophila by the real-time PCR method (Multiplex PCR).
The Kit includes all reagents required in a comfortable ready-to-use Multiplex PCR MasterMix. In addition, the kit includes both Positive Control and Negative Control. The Positive control is supplied to demonstrate that the PCR amplification is working efficiently with the supplied components. To confirm absence of contamination, a Negative control reaction should be included every time the kit is used. Include DNAready Lysis Buffer to extract the DNA from the sample prior to PCR Detection.
