Avian Flu is in Europe!

Avian Flu is in Europe!

A suspected case of avian flu? Our tools provide you with an answer in a few hours!

Following the multiplication of cases and outbreaks of poultry contaminated by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Europe, surveillance of the virus is accelerating in many European countries. We offer you the Bio-T kit® AIV H5 & H7 and Bio-T kit® Avian & Swine Influenza Virus for the detection of Avian Influenza by RT-PCR in real-time.


This kit is a triplex RT-PCR allowing the detection, in the same reaction well, of:
    • - the genomes of Avian Influenza A type viruses by targeting the M gene (segment 7) - 6-FAM marking,
    • - an exogenous positive control RNA IC - VIC marking (suitable for species other than Galliformes, Anseriformes or Columbiformes),
    • - an endogenous positive control IPC mARN (beta-actine) - Cy5 markingwhich makes it possible to control the sample (quality of the sample and complete process).




This kit contains a ready-to-use one-step RT-PCR Master Mix, allowing the detection, in the same reaction well, of:
    • - the genomes of Avian Influenza A and H5 subtypes viruses by targeting the H5 gene - 6-FAM marking,
    • - genomes of Avian Influenza A viruses of H7 subtypes by targeting the H7 gene - VIC marking,
    • - an endogenous positive control IPC mARN (beta-actine) - Cy5 markingwhich makes it possible to control the sample (quality of the sample and complete process).
