Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracts contain often multiple qPCR inhibiting factors. Normal qPCR master mixes are sensitive to these substances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strong fluorescence signal with low background noise<\/strong>. Isolated environmental samples contain residues of naturally occurring auto fluoresce substances that will interfere with the measurements. Environmental samples needs a strong fluorescence signal from the assay in order not to experience background interference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highest possible sensitivity<\/strong> (1 DNA copy per reaction). Environmental water samples may contain very low amounts of target DNA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>100% specificity<\/strong>. Isolated DNA from environmental samples contains billions of DNA fragments from bacteria, protozoa, plants, animals, etc. Not only animals from the same order (fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, etc.) must be taken in account during primer\/probe design, but all known DNA sequences must be checked for nonspecific binding of the primers and probe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The full method validation report can be found below under <strong>\u201cRelevant<\/strong> <strong>documents<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The kit has been developed and optimized for use on eDNA isolates purified using the Sylphium Molecular Ecology eDNA Isolation Kit (#SYL002), although other eDNA isolation methods\/kits can be used as well.
