HiMedia's Hi‐PCR® Salmonella Semi‐Q PCR Kit is a qualitative conventional PCR kit used to detect specific sequence of iroB (606 bp) gene for Salmonella spp. from various food sources, cells, environmental sample and clinical material samples. The amplified target is detected by using agarose gel electrophoresis. This kit also contains Internal control and Positive control.
Salmonellosis is a food-borne disease caused by Salmonella, a rod shaped, gram-negative non-spore forming bacterium. This genus is a member of Enterobacteriaceae family. Environmental sources for Salmonella include water, soil, insects, factory and kitchen surfaces, animal feces, raw meats, raw seafood, milk and dairy products, etc. Hence it is an important pathogen to be detected. The Hi-PCR® Salmonella Semi-Q PCR Kit is a qualitative conventional PCR kit which amplifies Salmonella spp. specific gene using specific primers
