Ehrlichia canis Detection Kit

Intended Use

The Ehrlichia canis Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of Ehrlichia canis DNA extracted from canine whole blood samples. The kit aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis 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 Ehrlichia canis 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.

Performance Characteristics

• Sensitivity: 100%

• Specificity: 100%

• High reproducibility and stability

• No cross-reactivity with other common canine tick-borne pathogens

Sample Type

EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood (canine)
