Overview
Xen Cannabis Kit C is a multiplex qPCR kit for Aspergillus detection in cannabis research. Four species are assigned to separate fluorescence channels: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus niger.
Targets and dye channels
| Target | Dye |
|---|---|
| Aspergillus flavus | ROX |
| Aspergillus fumigatus | HEX |
| Aspergillus terreus | Cy5 |
| Aspergillus niger | FAM |
Four fungal targets, each on a separate fluorescence channel.
Controls included
Pathogen controls for A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. terreus and A. niger.
