Description
Elephas maximus-Ingredient Probe 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
- Wildlife forensics and anti‑poaching enforcement: sensitive detection and quantification of Elephas maximus DNA in tissue, blood, hair, ivory, bone or other forensic samples to support identification, chain‑of‑custody evidence and prosecution of illegal hunting and trade.
- Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring for conservation and distribution assessments: non‑invasive surveillance of Asian elephant presence and habitat use by detecting trace DNA in waterholes, soil, dung and other environmental samples to inform population monitoring and corridor management.
- Product authentication and regulatory compliance: screening of traditional medicines, processed animal products, museum specimens and commercial goods for elephant‑derived material to detect adulteration, verify labeling and support customs/control actions.
