Bertin Bioreagent all-in-one qPCR kit for simultaneous detection of B. anthracis, Y. pestis and F. tularensis

Bertin Bioreagent’s Biotoxis is a qPCR all-in-one detection kit that detects B. anthracis, Y. pestis and F. tularensis, three pathogens that constitute the first potential biological weapons causing lethal infection (anthrax, plague and tularemia). This kit is highly sensitive and is said to be the only kit on the market that detects all three agents in one reaction, ensuring a rapid response in a context of a global bioterrorism attack.

The Biotoxis kit is designed to provide a simple, reliable and rapid method for detection in air, water and any biological samples. It is designed for CBRN teams, first responders and R&D labs that work on these three agents for a quick intervention in the event of a suspected biological attack. In multiplex, detection limits are 17 copies of target template for B. anthracis, 20 copies for Y. pestis and 49 copies for F. tularensis. The Biotoxis kit is designed to provide a simple, reliable and rapid method for the detection in air, water and any biological samples and includes a master mix, primers and probes. All liquid components can be stored at +4°C for six months.

Bertin Bioreagent’s Biotoxis qPCR Detection Kit is distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Sapphire Bioscience.
