QuickStix Kit for Bacterial Fruit Blotch - AS 048

The QuickStix™ kit for Bacterial Fruit Blotch is made using well characterized, pathogen-specific monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies are coated onto a lateral flow strip for the detection of BFB pathogen in suspected symptomatic seedling, leaf, stem, fruit, and bacterial colonies.

Test strips are fast flowing and result in a clear, clean line that develops in 5 minutes, and packaged in a convenient field test kit format. This compact field kit features punch top vials that fit into the vial rack provided for ease of use. The pestles provided in the kit are 9 cm long, allowing comfortable use to thoroughly macerate the sample tissue.
