Rt - Real Time Pcr Detection Test Kit Supreme Hlvd (Hop Latent Viroid)

Detection of Hop latent viroid (HLVd) in Cannabis or other plant samples. The BIOPREMIER SUPREME RT-PCR Detection Kit HLVd combines a reverse transcriptase with a multiplex qPCR assay to simultaneously detect HLVd and an Internal Control. The kit is suitable for use in real time instruments with FAM and Cy5 detection channels.

BACKGROUND:
Hop latent viroid (HLVd) is a single-stranded, circular infectious RNA that is dependent on its host plant’s metabolism for replication. HLVd infection occurs worldwide in hops (Humulus lupulus) but it can also infect the cannabis plant. The HLVd-infected plants don’t show obvious symptoms of infection but instead grow shorter with smaller leaves, which reduce the production of certain cultivars. HLVd is usually spread via infected tools or through cloning (cuttings taken from an infected mother).
Because symptoms of these viruses are not always obvious, regularly screening by qPCR is the key to isolating the infected plants from their growing area to prevent the spread of the virus throughout the productive field.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: SUPREME REAL TIME DETECTION KIT HLVd uses Reverse Transcriptase (RT) real-time PCR for the detection of HLVd in a simple, reliable, and rapid procedure. The assay combines a reverse transcriptase with a multiplex qPCR assay based on 5’ nuclease real time PCR reactions to amplify a unique genomic sequence of each target. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure the highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for detecting the targets, a positive control, and internal control (IC).To minimize PCR cross-contamination, the Kit contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UDG).
