Multiplex Pathogen Detection Panel Testing
Our Multiplex Pathogen Detection Panel Testing service is a comprehensive solution designed to assist quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals in identifying plant pathogens with precision and efficiency. This advanced testing method allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens on a single sample, significantly reducing turnaround time and enhancing accuracy.
The Multiplex Pathogen Detection Panel is based on nucleic acid amplification technologies such as real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) which can detect minute quantities of target DNA or RNA. This technology enables us to identify pathogens that may be present at very low levels, providing critical insights into the health and viability of agricultural products.
The testing process begins with sample preparation where plant tissues are collected from fields or crops in a controlled environment. The samples undergo extraction procedures aimed at isolating nucleic acids which can then be analyzed by the multiplex panel. This ensures that only high-quality DNA/RNA is used for analysis, reducing the risk of false positives.
The panel itself uses pre-designed primers and probes specific to various pathogens relevant to agriculture and forestry. These include common fungal, bacterial, viral, and oomycete pathogens known to affect plants. The test results are generated in a matter of hours rather than days, providing actionable insights promptly for decision-making.
The data obtained from the panel is validated against international standards such as ISO 15183-2 and EN ISO 6579:2012 which outline best practices for diagnostic testing. Compliance with these guidelines ensures that our results are reliable, reproducible, and acceptable in regulatory environments.
The use of multiplex panels can lead to significant cost savings by minimizing the number of tests required per sample. Additionally, this approach helps prevent cross-contamination issues since all pathogens tested on a single panel originate from the same initial sample. This not only enhances efficiency but also promotes better resource management within agricultural and forestry operations.
