We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new Flashkit® (ImmunoStrip®) for detection of Potato virus X (PVX) in potato.
The PVX Flashkit (code: ISK10000) is an easy-to-use detection kit that can be performed anywhere, including the field, to test suspect plants for the pathogen. It is specific to PVX and is not known to cross react with other pathogens in potato.
Conveniently, The PVX Flashkit may also be used simultaneously with the PVY Flashkit in the same sample extract. This is specially useful for seed certification inspectors or growers who want to quickly identify either virus in a plant. Dual PVX and PVY infections are known to cause more severe disease symptoms and can cause increased yield loss.
Agdia-Emea Flashkits do not require laboratory experience or equipment to run. The entire testing process including sample preparation takes only 15-30 minutes. This helps facilitate faster and more informed management decisions by end-users. Feel free to contact us for more information on the PVX Flashkit and other potato tests: info@agdia-emea.com
