Detection kits for ASBVd Available in TaqMan format for analysis Avocado Sunblotch Viroid (ASBVd) is an important disease affecting avocado trees. ASBVd is the smallest known viroid that infects plants and is transmissible by pollen and infected seeds or budwood. Infection results in lower yields and poorer quality fruit. Trees infected with the viroid often show no symptoms other than a reduction in yield (by 30% or more) . Symptomless trees represent a greater danger in terms of spread of the viroid. ASBVd TaqMan RT-PCR Kit, 100 reactions Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality Specific Primer and Probe mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest Primer and Probe mix Positive and negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents ASBVd TaqMan RT-PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions Specific Primer/Probe mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest Nuclease-free water Can be used together with Norgen’s RT-PCR Master Mix (#28113) or customer supplied master mix For research use only and NOT intended for in vitro diagnostics.
