Description

Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV) Probe Realtime RT-PCR Kit is a one-step RT-PCR kit intended for research use in nucleic acid analysis under controlled laboratory conditions using probe-based real-time PCR. Purified RNA is reverse transcribed into cDNA and subsequently amplified using sequence-specific primers and probes. During amplification, fluorescence signals are generated through probe cleavage, allowing real-time monitoring of amplification under controlled laboratory conditions. The resulting signals may be used for comparative analysis of target nucleic acids.

Note: Supplied without internal control. Internal control version can be customized based on your assay requirements.
This product was previously listed under catalog number 15-1780 and is now updated to BF-65173774 for improved product management.

The product is shipped with dry ice to maintain low-temperature conditions and ensure product integrity during transit.

Is a ROX Dye included with the kit?

No—ROX Dye is not included with the kit. We can add passive reference dyes according to your instrument upon request for $25 USD. To request a ROX dye, please contact us for a quote at contact@biofargo.com.

Is an Internal Control included with the kit?

Unless otherwise specified, Internal controls are not included in our standard kits, but are available as an add-on for all kits at a surcharge of $150 USD. To request a kit with an internal control, please reach out for a quote at contact@biofargo.com.

Is validation data available for the kit?

Yes—standard validation data generated from our plasmid-based positive controls is available for all kits upon request. Please note that all kits are intended strictly for research use only.

If your team requires validation data generated using the actual pathogen, we can typically accommodate this request for a small fee. To request a validation report, please contact us at contact@biofargo.com.

What is the lead time for all PCR kits?

Standard production takes 7–14 days, after which kits ship from our laboratory to our warehouse. Expedited production (~7 days) is available upon request. We also maintain a ready inventory of our most popular kits to reduce wait times.

Can I customize this kit?

Yes! We offer custom assays upon request from $650 USD per kit. For details, please contact us at contact@biofargo.com.

Will your kits work with any PCR system?

Yes—our kits are optimized for the most widely used qPCR platforms, including Applied Biosystems QuantStudio systems.

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders of kits?

Yes! We offer substantial discounts for bulk orders on most PCR kits. Discounts are available upon request through quotes only. Bulk discounts do not apply for online orders. Our bulk discounts apply for kits of the same type ordered at the same time. Our discounts follow a standard pricing structure:

5% OFF (Qty. 5–9 kits)
10% OFF (Qty. 10–14 kits)
25% OFF (Qty. 15–29 kits)
35% OFF (Qty. 30+ kits)

For more information about discounted pricing options, please contact us at contact@biofargo.com.

Do you ship qPCR kits internationally?

Yes! We ship internationally via FedEx International Express (generally CIF or DAP terms). All of our international shipments include ~40 lbs of dry ice to last for a maximum of 7 days. We can also provide assistance with customs clearance (e.g., complete paperwork, provide COAs, MSDS, HS codes, etc.).

We do assess a dry ice surcharge of $15 USD for domestic shipments and $55 USD for international shipments.

Do you ship qPCR kits on ice packs or at room temperature?

No. We do not currently ship qPCR kits on blue ice or at room temperature due to our strict quality requirements. Kits might have some limited stability at room temperature, though they should be stored at -20°C for best performance.

Are your kits approved for diagnostic or clinical use?

No. All Biofargo kits are strictly for research use only (RUO). Biofargo Inc. is not authorized to sell products for diagnostic, detection, clinical, personal, or any other non-research application. Use of our kits outside of an authorized laboratory research context is not permitted.
