Principle: Qualitative real-time PCR for the detection of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) DNA.
Kit Format: Real-time PCR kit (64 reactions).
Assay Time: Approximately 100 minutes (excluding DNA extraction).
Sample Preparation: DNA is extracted from food samples using a suitable DNA extraction method prior to real-time PCR analysis.
Limit of Detection (LOD): 1 ppm peanut (in rice flour matrix); equivalent to 0.2 peanut genome equivalents.
Storage: Store at -15 to -25°C.
Application: Qualitative detection of peanut DNA in food products. The kit also supports quantitative analysis when used with Allergen RM 800 reference material and performs well in challenging matrices such as chocolate, ice cream, and cereals.
