The SYL153 Alytes obstetricans Detection Kit is engineered for accurate and consistent environmental DNA (eDNA) detection.
Using our advanced eDNA qPCR Hot Start Mix, this kit delivers exceptional sensitivity, robustness, and accuracy in qPCR-based detection assays.
It performs reliably even in challenging environmental samples containing inhibitory substances such as humic acids.
Why Choose This Kit?
- 100% specificity – Targets Alytes obstetricans with minimal cross-reactivity.
- Ultra-high sensitivity – Detects a single DNA copy per reaction.
- Inhibitor resistant – Ensures dependable results in complex environmental matrices.
- Strong fluorescence signal – Low background noise for clear and accurate detection.
- Validated performance – Achieves ≥ 95% detection probability under recommended sampling conditions.
