The Dirofilaria immitis Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of Dirofilaria immitis DNA extracted from canine and feline whole blood samples. The kit aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of heartworm infection in veterinary clinical settings.
Principle of the Assay
This kit utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology with specific primers and fluorescent probes targeting conserved regions of the Dirofilaria immitis genome.
During amplification, the probe hybridizes to the target sequence and emits fluorescence, which is detected by compatible real-time PCR instruments. The increase in fluorescence signal is proportional to the accumulation of amplified product, allowing accurate detection of the pathogen.
