QuickBead™ Kit for Bacterial Fruit Blotch - AB 048
Testing Seed Tissue
The QuickBead™ Kit for Bacterial Fruit Blotch is the first commercial kit of prepared immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) for use in the detection of BFB. Now seed health testing labs can simplify their IMS-PCR testing. By offering a cleaner, concentrated sample, the Kit increases the ease of pathogen detection via PCR or other methods.
Product benefits include: - Quality – controlled batches eliminate lot-to-lot variability
- Convenience – save time and labor with ready-to-use beads
- Ease of use – simple steps yield clean, concentrated samples
- Monoclonal antibody – well-characterized, consistent and sensitive
- Stability – long shelf life
- Kit size – contains beads for 100 tests
