The VetMAX MastiType Micro4 Kit enables rapid, accurate detection of the four major contagious mastitis-causing pathogens in bovine milk using real-time PCR amplification of DNA unique to each pathogen in a single reaction.
The advanced technology of VetMAX MastiType real-time PCR assays offers several advantages:
- Designed for laboratories requiring high-throughput processing methods
- Faster results—typical time from sample to result is 2.5–3 hours, compared to up to 10 days for a culture
- High accuracy—high sensitivity and specificity for all individual pathogens
- Identifies and quantifies DNA, allowing detection of viable, dead, and growth-inhibited pathogens
- Allows use of preserved milk samples, eliminating the need for cooling during sample transportation
- Can be integrated into milk recording programs using preserved milk
- Validated with convenient MagMAX CORE nucleic acid purification method that does not require aspiration and centrifugation
The VetMAX MastiType Micro4 assay detects these four pathogens in a single PCR reaction:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus agalactiae
- Mycoplasma bovis
- Streptococcus uberis
