GT-Digital™ Microbial Source Tracking Goose Assay Kit v1.0 for the Bio-Rad QX200™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System

(Cat# 101040)

The GT-Digital™ Microbial Source Tracking (MST) Goose Assay Kit v1.0 for the Bio-Rad QX200™ is a molecular reagent kit containing all primers, probes, and controls necessary for the environmental surveillance of microbial DNA specific to Canada Goose Bacteroides from environmental water (EW). The target used to detect Canada Goose fecal contamination is CGOF1, located on the 16S rRNA gene (5-copy gene). This assay allows identification of fecal contamination sources in freshwater environments, including lakes, rivers, reservoirs, groundwater, and stormwater. Assay solutions and appropriate controls are provided to ensure accurate quantification of all targets. When used in conjunction with the Bio-Rad QX200™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System, this kit facilitates reliable microbial source tracking, supporting environmental water (EW) quality assessments, and public health surveillance efforts.

Contains enough material for 200 reactions.

IMPORTANT! MST Goose Assay Kit has been validated on environmental fresh water. This assay can work on wastewater, however, further optimization and validation is required by the user.
