Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens. A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results. The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit.

Budgerigar Fledgling Disease Virus also known as avian polyomavirus (APV) is part of the SV40 clade of the Polyomavirus genus. The circular, double-stranded DNA genome is 4981 nucleotides long and surrounded by a capsid of icosahedral shape up to 50nm in diameter. Infection with this virus causes Budgerigar Fledgling Disease.

The Primerdesign genesig Kit for Budgerigar Fledgling Disease Virus (avian polyomavirus) (APV) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of APV genomes. The kit is designed to have a broad detection profile. Specifically, the primers represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design.
