The GeneProof Bordetella PCR Kit is a highly specific and reliable solution for detecting both Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis in a single reaction tube, providing more information with fewer samples. The kit targets the multi-copy insertion sequences IS1002 and IS1001, ensuring accurate and reliable results with no false-positive results for Bordetella holmesii. The kit has a single tube Ready-to-Use Master Mix that eliminates the need for additional pipetting of PCR reagents, making it easy to use and simplifying laboratory workflow. The Master Mix contains Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) and dUTPs, eliminating carryover contamination, ensuring accurate and reliable results. The kit is CE IVD certified and compatible with a wide range of real-time PCR devices, making it a versatile and practical solution for your laboratory. The GeneProof Bordetella PCR Kit can also be easily combined with other GeneProof PCR kits, ensuring efficient use of laboratory resources.
