The number of vegetarians and people following the vegan lifestyle increases from year to year. This may be due to ethical, religious, cultural or health reasons. How do you ensure that your vegan-declared food has really been processed without meat or animal derived products?The Vegan Control™ kit, a qPCR based system for the detection of animal traces in food, is a quick and inexpensive solution to this Problem.Type of PCR TaqMan® assay based on FAM™ and HEX™ labeled probes.Recommended Use / Scope Can be used in research and industry for detection of meat/animal based contaminations of vegan foods. For research use only! Do not use for clinical diagnostic or for testing of patient samples.Result Evaluation Cycler based, real-time PCRSensitivity Down to 0.1 % of genomic meat target DNA in a vegan food type background.Content Primer sets, nucleotides, internal amplification control and polymerase at optimized concentrations lyophilized in one tube, rehydration buffer, lyophilized positive control, PCR grade water.Sample Requirements Isolated total DNA from potentially contaminated vegan food serves as starting material. DNA can be extracted from sample material using DNA extraktion kits e.g. ExtractNow™ Vegan Control (Cat. No. 607-1050) or user method.Required Consumables 1.5 ml reaction tubes, PCR reaction tubes, sterile filter tipsRequired Lab Devices qPCR cycler with FAM™ and HEX™ filter, variable microliter pipettes, benchtop centrifugeTime to result Approx. 150 minutesShelf Life and Storage Components can be stored at 2 to 8 °C for at least 12 months. After rehydratisation the reagents must be stored at -18 °C.
