Fungi DNA Detection Kit can qualitatively detect the presence of fungal DNA in samples, covering approximately 92% of known fungal species and matching nearly 5,000 fungal DNA sequences (or subspecies).
MicroSHENTEK® Fungi DNA Detection Kit is used together with MicroSHENTEK® Fungi & Bacteria DNA Extraction Kit, to qualitatively determine whether there is fungi contamination in cells, cell products or vaccines, etc. The assay performance is validated according to the Ch.P, EP, JP and USP qPCR method with a detection limit of not more than 35 CFU/reaction.
The detection kit uses real-time PCR technique to detect possible fungal DNA in the test samples, and is able to cover about 92% of known fungal species, which matches nearly 5,000 species (or subspecies) of fungal DNA sequences. The specificity and coverage has been validated in a variety of matrices, as well as on non-fungal species, production cells, and engineered bacteria.
