Clostridium botulinum

The OneqPCR-realtime™ Clostridium botulinum Kit constitutes a ready-to-use system for the detection of Clostridium botulinum by real-time PCR. Clostridium botulinum is an important foodborne pathogen capable of producing botulinum neurotoxins, which can cause botulism, a serious neurological disease associated with the consumption of contaminated foods and other exposure routes. The kit contains reagents and enzymes for the specific amplification of C. botulinum DNA targets, together with an Internal Control amplification system to identify possible PCR inhibition. The kit also includes a Positive Control PCR mix to ensure reliable assay performance.
