The FastScreen™ kit is an on-site DNA detection kit for the rapid and reliable traces detection of pig DNA in meat-based food products. This kit can be used on production sites and can detect the slightest trace of pig DNA in raw meat or processed products.
FastScreen™ is an on-site DNA detection kit for the rapid and reliable traces detection of pig, horse or bovine DNA in meat-based food products.
The FastScreen™ is based on isothermal amplification method that enables DNA detection without the need for expensive equipment or specific technical expertise.
Principle
The Progenus FastScreen™ kit is based on isothermal amplification (LAMP PCR) method that enable DNA detection without the need of expensive equipment or specific technical expertise. The positive samples (containing pig) are green, instead of negative samples (no pig) appear orange under normal light (recomended to put the samples on a black background). The samples can also be visualized under UV light were the positive samples emit fluorescence and the negative does not.
