This combo kit includes the VetMAX MastiType Myco8 qPCR Kit and the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit with Mastitis & Panbacteria Module (also available separately).

VetMAX MastiType Myco8 Kit
The VetMAX MastiType Myco8 assay enables rapid, accurate detection of eight mastitis-causing pathogens in bovine milk. These eight pathogens, including six highly contagious and difficult to culture Mycoplasma strains, are detected using real-time PCR amplification of DNA unique to each pathogen in two separate reactions. The kit detects these eight mastitis-causing pathogens:
Staphylococcus aureus
Streptococcus agalactiae
Mycoplasma bovis
Mycoplasma spp.
Mycoplasma alkalescens
Mycoplasma bovigenitalium
Mycoplasma californicum
Mycoplasma canadense

MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit
The Applied Biosystems MagMAX CORE sample extraction system is a universal magnetic bead-based separation system designed to meet current and future veterinary testing needs. It is compatible with both automated (using the KingFisher Flex Purification System) and manual purification methods. This modular technology is optimized for the purification of nucleic acids from a wide range of sample matrices commonly submitted for veterinary diagnostic testing.

MagMAX CORE Mastitis & Panbacteria Module
The MagMAX CORE Mastitis & Panbacteria Module is offered here in combination with the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit to aid in the processing of all bacteria, especially those important in the detection of mastitis in cattle and from challenging matrices like mastitic milk.

We have included a specially optimized lysis solution, along with an adjusted extraction procedure to improve the recovery of nucleic acid from all bacteria, including gram-positive bacteria.

Features of this combined product include:
Convenience—a complete solution using the same CORE chemistry
Easy—no centrifugation and no aspiration steps
Fast—less than 1 hour for 96 samples
Flexible—appropriate for fresh, frozen, or preserved milk samples, including samples with high somatic cell count

The MagMAX CORE kit and the MagMAX CORE Mastitis & Panbacteria Module help make your lab more efficient through greater convenience, consistent performance, and time and cost savings.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What kind of milk samples can be tested with the VetMAX MastiType kits?

All VetMAX MastiType kits may be used with milk, bulk milk, frozen milk, or preserved milk (e.g., with bronopol).

What qPCR instrument can I use to run the VetMAX MastiType kits?

Either the Applied Biosystems 7500/7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System or the QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System may be used to run the VetMAX MastiType kits.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Real-Time PCR and Digital PCR Instruments Support Center.
