Product Details

ShrimProtect RxReady WSSV qPCR Kit has been validated by Balai Pengujian Ikan & Lingkungan (BPKIL) and has acquired certificates NIE KKP RI D 2212683 BBC to specifically detect ORF167 gene of WSSV. The kit also contains Internal Control for shrimp.

Procedures

Store the reagents at -20^oC upon delivery.

When ready to use, thaw completely and pipette 15 µL to each well of the PCR tube strip or well plate.

Mix 5 µL of the purified DNA and you are ready to run the PCR reaction.

FAQ

Which organs or tissue that are recommended for use in WSSV PCR test?

The major target tissues of WSSV are of ectodermal and mesodermal embryonic origin, especially the cuticular epithelium and subcuticular connective tissues.
Although WSSV infects the underlying connective tissue in the crustacean hepatopancreas and midgut, the tubular epithelial cells of these two organs are of endodermal origin, and they do not become infected.

What are the extraction methods that can be used to perform the qPCR test?

This qPCR Kit is compatible with various extraction methods, including commercially available spin column extraction.
Achieve optimal performance by pairing this qPCR Kit with our ShrimProtect X-Kit.

What qPCR channel is being used in the testing?

FAM/Green: ORF167 (WSSV)
Cy5/Red: Shrimp Internal Control

How many times can the reagent be freeze-thawed during its shelf-life?

Up to 8 times during the product's shelf-life.

Nisa

We at Sumber Hatchery Bangka have been using Nusantics' ShrimProtect test-kit for almost 1.5 years to test larvae, feed, and worms, and we’ve experienced many advantages compared to other test-kits. First, the reagents are easy to use; second, it is more sensitive; and third, the PCR results are more accurate.
