Plant Health & Pests Diagnostics

OptiGene is pleased to launch a range of kits for the detection of plant health and pests.

OptiGene is fully licensed to manufacture and sell kits for LAMP tests that are used to detect plant diseases and pests. Simple sample preparation, ease of use and fast running time combine to offer distinct advantage over competing technologies. This allows the user rapid diagnostics at point of application.

The kits have been developed in collaboration with Fera Science Ltd. and the optimised LAMP assays have been validated to EPPO Standard PM 7/98.

Our kits are available in the following format: 

Plant Health Specific Mastermix – Contains mastermix with primers, in a ready to use reaction mix. Just add template and run. The mastermixes do not include extraction reagents, internal control, disposable loops or Genie® Strips. Pack size available of 50 reactions.
