Test
code:
P0023 - mouse fecal PCR panel detects
and differentiates
the following murine enteric pathogens using real time PCR
protocols:
The Zoologix
mouse fecal test panel is a powerful, cost-effective diagnostic
tool for enteric disease screening in rodent facilities.
Zoologix performs this panel using individual, highly specific,
fast, sensitive PCR test protocols.
Please see
links above for information on individual assays included in
this panel. If testing for pathogens not on this panel is also
required, other assay combinations are available as a
build-your-own panel. Contact Zoologix for details.
Utilities:
-
Help confirm disease causing agent(s)
-
Shorten the time required to confirm clinical diagnoses
-
Help ensure that vivariums are free of listed pathogens
-
Early prevention of spread of listed pathogens among a
vivarium
-
Minimize human exposure to these pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products that derive
from mice
Specimen requirements:
2 fecal pellets,
or 0.2 ml cell culture.
Contact Zoologix if advice is needed to determine an appropriate specimen type for a specific diagnostic application. For specimen types not listed here, please contact Zoologix to confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all
specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during
