RapidFinder™ Goat ID Kit

The RapidFinder™ Goat ID Kit enables the simple and reliable detection of Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) DNA in food and feed samples.

The RapidFinder™ Goat ID Kit enables the simple and reliable detection of Goat DNA in food and feed samples. The method works by detection of goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) 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™ Goat ID Kit detects and provides sensitivity down to 0.01% of Goat DNA. The included positive control in the kit, which comprises 0.1% Goat 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- Goat 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™ Goat ID Kit, most labs will go on to quantify the amount of Goat DNA in the sample. This can be accomplished using the RapidFinder™ Goat ID Kit in conjunction with the RapidFinder™ Quant Multi-Animal Set (Cat. No. A24399).
