Waterborne pathogens PCR panel
Test
code: P0041 - Qualitative
detection and differentiation of the following common waterborne
pathogens using
real time PCR protocols:
PCR testing is
faster and more cost-effective than culture-based testing for
these pathogens. Zoologix performs this test panel using
well-established, highly specific, ultrasensitive real time PCR
protocols to minimize the possibility of false positives while
maximizing detection of pathogens present.
Test results
are presented in a concise, signed, easy-to-read PDF report
optimized for documentation and recordkeeping.
Utilities:
-
Test for pathogens in water systems
-
Monitor for infectious diseases in bodies of water
-
Early prevention of the spread of pathogens in facilities or
bodies of water
-
Help confirm the presence of disease-causing agents
-
Selection of appropriate treatment regimens
-
Minimize human exposure to the listed pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products
Specimen requirements: Approx 10 ml water
sample, or used filter medium, or 3 biofilm swabs.
Contact Zoologix if advice is needed to determine an appropriate specimen type for a specific diagnostic application. For specimen types not listed here, please contact Zoologix to confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all
specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during
very warm weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship
with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are
specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain
frozen in transit. See shipping
instructions for more information.
