GT-Digital™ Microbial Source Tracking Ruminant Assay Kit v1.0 for the Bio-Rad QX200™ or QX600™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System

(Cat# 101095)

The GT-Digital™ Microbial Source Tracking (MST) Ruminant Assay Kit v1.0 for the Bio-Rad QX200™ or QX600™ is a molecular reagent kit containing all primers, probes, and controls necessary for the environmental surveillance of microbial DNA specific to ruminant Bacteroides from environmental water (EW). The target used to detect Ruminant fecal contamination is Rum2Bac, located on the 16S rRNA 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™ or QX600™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System, this kit facilitates reliable microbial source tracking, supporting EW quality assessments and public health surveillance efforts. Contains enough material for 200 reactions.

IMPORTANT! MST Ruminant Assay Kit v1.0 was validated on environmental fresh water. This assay could work on wastewater, however further optimization and validation is required by the user.
