Detect as low as 300 fg of Porcine DNA in food and pharmaceutical samples, including gel caps.

• Multiplex detection of porcine specific DNA and Alien DNA control
• DNA Isolation Module, with spin cup protocol
• qPCR assay to detect nucleic acids of Porcine origin
• No interference from Alien assay

The Agilent Porcine Detection Kit has two components: a DNA Isolation Module and a qPCR Kit. The Porcine Detection Kit contains reagents and materials for the extraction and isolation of DNA from food samples and other materials, including gel caps, as well as the subsequent qPCR amplification and detection of porcine DNA down to 300 fg.

Because isolated DNA may contain contaminants that inhibit PCR, the qPCR kit amplifies and detects two distinct targets in a single reaction: a porcine-specific DNA sequence and an external DNA control that enables detection of PCR inhibition.
