Minerva Biolabs has recently taken its experience in molecular diagnostics to the field of veterinary medicine. Using the highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, Minerva Biolabs offers advanced pathogen detection for poultry diseases.

Venor^®MGS - Mycoplasma Diagnostic Assay

PCR Sreening Assay for mycoplasma in poultry

The Venor^®MGS screening assay is a multiplex PCR system for detection and specification of mycoplasma species associated with poultry diseases. PCR has been established as the method for highest sensitivity of pathogen detection in poultry samples.

Mycoplasma synoviae is a known pathogen associated with the development of synovitis and chronic respiratory disease in chicken and turkey.

Technical Features

• Highly sensitive
  Requiring as little as 2-5 mycoplasma per sample volume.
• Specific
  The specificity is greater than 99%. Primer set specific for highly conserved membrane protein coding segment of pathogen genome.
• Reliable
  through incorporation of positive control DNA and internal control DNA for optional PCR quality check.
• Convenient
  PCR templates prepared from tracheal swab samples or serum.

Highest User Convenience

• Simple
  One easy-to-follow, step-by-step protocol detects common mycoplasma species in a single multiplex reaction.
• Convenient
  Direct testing of tracheal swab or serum samples. Samples are prepared by boiling extraction.
