Amphibian screening PCR panel
Test
code: P0031 -
Amphibian screening PCR panel. Ultrasensitive
detection and differentiation of the following pathogens using
real time PCR protocols:
Amphibian
facility veterinarians and field biologists often monitor for
waterborne pathogens that can affect animal health in facilities
or in wild populations. The amphibian screening PCR panel
includes several of the most common pathogens of interest in
these situations. Zoologix performs this panel using highly
specific, sensitive and fast real time PCR test protocols, using
as little as one swab for the entire panel.
Utilities:
-
Screen for diseases in amphibian facilities
-
Monitor the health status of wild amphibian populations
-
Early prevention of the spread of pathogens between
facilities or populations
-
Confirm the presence of disease-causing agents
-
Selection of appropriate treatment regimens
-
Shorten time required to confirm a clinical diagnosis
-
Minimize human exposure to the listed pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products
Specimen requirements:
Cloacal and
skin swab, or lesion swab, or skin scraping.
For specimen
types other than those listed here, please call to confirm
specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all
specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during
very warm weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship
with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are
specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain
frozen in transit. See shipping
instructions for more information.
