All-in-One qPCR Kit for Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Clostridium botulinum Toxin Gene btxE – 50 Reactions
Description
Clostridium botulinum btxE Gene qPCR Kit is designed for the quantitative detection of its specific DNA in a real-time PCR test using hydrolysis probes. In the amplification process, Taq DNA polymerase amplifies the DNA sample via quantitative PCR using a primer-probe set that targets its specific DNA region. At each cycle of the PCR, the 5' nuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase degrades the bound probes, releasing the quenched specific FAM signal. The increase in FAM fluorescence measures the target gene-specific DNA amplifications. At a point where the fluorescence signal is confidently detected over the background signal, a Ct value can be determined for the FAM signal. This Ct parameter can be used to evaluate relative target abundance among samples.

Application Areas
- Food safety testing and quality control in food production and processing — screening canned, smoked, vacuum‑packed and ready‑to‑eat foods (including seafood and meat products) for the presence of Clostridium botulinum btxE gene as part of HACCP and supplier/plant monitoring programs.
- Environmental and production‑facility surveillance — monitoring raw materials, processing environments, equipment swabs, sediments and wastewater for C. botulinum btxE to identify contamination sources and verify sanitation controls.
- Research and epidemiology — laboratory studies on C. botulinum distribution, ecology and toxin‑gene prevalence in food, environmental and animal samples, and use in surveillance studies and method development (Research Use Only).
