WSSV Detection Kit
WSSV Detection Kit: Rapid White Spot Virus detection in shrimp
Prevent outbreaks and protect your harvest from catastrophic pathogen threats.
The White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is one of the deadliest pathogens among seafood, and it has the capability to cause 100% mortality within 3-10 days, posing a major economic threat. The only precaution in this case is detecting the threat early. This allows the hatcheries, ponds, and seafood processors to take preventive actions, stopping the virus spread.
Our WSSV detection kit utilizes RT-PCR technology to detect this virus long before the visible spots. This kit offers DNA-level accuracy from farm to lab scale, with rapid results within hours, not days. Our kit targets WSSV-specific genes, which guarantees extreme specificity and negligible cross-reactivity.
Designed for:
Farmed shrimps like Litopenaeus vannamei (Pacific Whiteleg Shrimp), Penaeus monodon (Giant Black Tiger), Marsupenaeus japonicus (Kuruma Prawn), Penaeus indicus (Indian White Prawn), etc., and other crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, and crayfish.
