LSI VetMAX™ BVDV 4ALL An efficient diagnostic tool for the monitoring of BVD virus in herds Real-time PCR kit for early detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) virus in Persistently Infected (PI) calves BVD infection is causing considerable economic losses in the dairy and beef industry. Diagnostic for herd monitoring Persistently infected (PI) cattle are the main source of BVD transmission, producing and excreting large amounts of the virus. As a result, most eradication and control programs focus on elimination of PI animals and preventing the transmission of BVD to other healthy cattle in the herd. • Detection of PI calves • Detection of infected animals • Monitoring new introductions to the herd A real-time RT- PCR kit for reliable and fast detection of BVD virus type 1 to 3 and BD Virus type 1 to 6 Have confidence in your results and provide more value to your customers with: • highly specific and sensitive detection of type 1, 2 and 3 BVDV • maternal antibodies which don’t influence test results • higher sensitivity than BVD Ag ELISA • 100% reliable detection of PI animals in young calves • a kit that is approved by FLI (FLI-B 649) Product name Matrices Technology Product code size LSI VetMAX™ BVDV 4ALL Blood, serum and ear notches Real-time RT-PCR (RNA) Duplex BVD4ALL Individual or pooled Exogenous & Endogenous IPC Ready to use RT-PCR mix 100 Tests Optimised PCR workflows combining extraction and amplification for the detection of BVD virus in Persistently Infected (PI) calves and adapted to low or high prevalence context • Easily automated for high-throughput process • Simple, fast workflow minimises sample handling and helps reduce sample cross-contamination Samples Blood/serum in individuals or pools Nucleic acid extraction Amplification Validated with purification - Magnetic beads or silica column technologies - Pools up to 50 Ear notches in individuals or pools Validated with purification 1 real-time RT-PCR kit - Magnetic beads or silica column technologies LSI VetMAX™ BVDV 4ALL - Pools up to 100 Validated without purification • Offers positive extraction and amplification controls for all matrices to ensure reliable results • Designed to consistently detect 16 RNA copies - Fast lysis buffer (FLK) - Pools up to 25 For more information about the LSI VetMAX™ BVDV 4ALL kit, please contact your local representative or visit: lifetechnologies.com/animalhealth Technical support for all animal health products: [email protected] FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY; FOR IN VITRO USE ONLY.
