Bovine Tuberculosis PCR Kit
Bio-T kit® MTBC
The Bovine Tuberculosis PCR kit is a ready-to-use kit for the detection of bacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) by real-time PCR, for the diagnosis of Tuberculosis in cattle. This MTBC PCR test contains an exogenous IPC internal positive control. It is validated by the French Tuberculosis National Reference Laboratory (ANSES, Maisons-Alfort).
✔ Bovine Tuberculosis duplex PCR kit developed in accordance with French standard U47-600-2 (AFNOR) and validated by the French Tuberculosis NRL (ANSES, Maisons-Alfort)
✔ Rapid thawing of the ready-to-use, blue-colored Master Mix for easy distinction
✔ Reliable detection of MTBC by real-time PCR thanks to an exogenous IPC to ensure high-quality results on all matrices, even the most difficult ones
✔ Bovine Tuberculosis diagnosis in just 1 day thanks to the validation of short incubation with BioSellal reagents (30 min as a possible alternative to 16-24h incubation)
✔ Matrices: Lymphatic, tracheobronchial, retropharyngeal, mediastinal and mesenteric nodes, accessory organs with lesions. Individual analyses.
✔ Kit developed on AriaMx™ (Agilent Technologies, Fast ramping by default) and confirmed on ABI PRISM® 7500 Fast (Applied Biosystems) in standard and Fast ramping. It is compatible with all thermal cyclers with at least reading channels 6-FAM and Cy5. For further information, please contact our technical support.

About bovine tuberculosis
Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a bacterium that mainly affects cattle. The disease can also affect other animal species and, in some cases, can be transmitted to humans through consumption of contaminated dairy products or direct contact with infected animals. Symptoms of bovine tuberculosis in cattle include weight loss, poor physical condition, persistent coughing and tuberculous lesions in the lungs, lymph nodes and other organs.
Diagnosis & prevention of bovine tuberculosis (MTBC)
Bovine Tuberculosis is a major concern for the livestock industry due to its devastating effects on animal health and its significant economic implications, particularly in terms of production losses and control costs. Early diagnosis of Bovine Tuberculosis is essential to control the spread of the disease and protect herd health. MTBC PCR kits such as the one developed by BioSellal offer a rapid and accurate solution for the detection of bacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in animal samples, enabling farmers and veterinarians to intervene rapidly to limit the spread of the disease and preserve the health of their herds.

To ensure the integrity and efficiency of your kits, follow these storage recommendations:
Real-time PCR kits:
On receipt: Store kits at a temperature ≤ -16°C. This preserves the quality and performance of the kit components.
ELISA kits:
On receipt: Store components at 5 ± 3°C to maintain efficacy. The concentrated wash solution can be stored at room temperature, i.e. 21 ± 4°C.
By respecting these storage conditions, you ensure the reliability and optimum performance of your kits for accurate and consistent results.
- The shelf life of a PCR kit for the detection of RNA pathogens (viruses) is 12 months.
- The shelf-life of a PCR kit for the detection of DNA pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) is 18 months.
- The shelf-life of an ELISA kit is 15 or 18 months.
At BioSellal, we are constantly seeking to improve our products. We regularly carry out stability studies to extend expiration dates, guaranteeing that our kits will always perform better and last longer.
Yes, absolutely! At BioSellal, we're committed to providing our customers with complete solutions to carry out their analyses under optimum conditions.
