RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit

The RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit enables the simple and reliable detection of fallow deer (Dama dama) DNA in food and feed samples.

The RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit enables the simple and reliable detection of Fallow Deer DNA in food and feed samples. The method works by detection of fallow deer (Dama dama) DNA that is present in food and feed samples by real-time PCR. Unlike ELISA based methods, when used with the GMO Extraction Kit (Cat. No. 4466336) for sample preparation, the RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit detects and provides sensitivity down to 0.01% of Fallow Deer DNA. The included positive control in the kit, which comprises 0.1% Fallow Deer DNA, can be used as a reference to set the threshold of detection of the assay.

• Simple- Real-time PCR based assay, no electrophoresis needed
• Flexible- Fallow Deer DNA detected in any food or feed sample, both raw and processed
• Reliable- Internal Positive Control (IPC) provides process control check for PCR inhibitors
• Fast- From sample to result in the same day

The assay is compatible with Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio 5™ and 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR Systems.

Sample Preparation

DNA sample preparation is accomplished with the easy-to-use GMO Extraction Kit (Cat. No. 4466336). Using up to 20 g of sample rather than the smaller sample sizes accommodated by most other DNA isolation procedures minimizes sampling errors. The GMO Extraction Kit is compatible with raw and processed meat, as well as composite food samples.

Quantification

If a positive result is obtained with the RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit, most labs will go on to quantify the amount of Fallow Deer DNA in the sample. This can be accomplished using the RapidFinder™ Fallow Deer ID Kit in conjunction with the RapidFinder™ Quant Multi-Animal Set (Cat. No. A24399).
