On-site test kits | Detection of damaging plant viruses of arable and horticultural crops Plant viruses cause damage worth many millions of rands each year in South Africa to a wide range of both arable and horticultural crops. The accurate detection of plant viruses is vital to monitor disease levels and to identify and eradicate non-indigenous diseases. However, the symptoms caused by some virus diseases are very similar and samples have to be sent to a laboratory for confirmation, which takes several days.
The diagnostic tests from Pocket Diagnostics are single step, easy-to-read three minute rapids with a control line. Pocket Diagnostic kits enable simple pathogen extraction from diseased plant issue and the rapid (2 minutes) detection of a virus. The kits are provided complete in a single box with full instructions and information on each pathogen. Pocket Diagnostic kits can be used effectively in the field, remote from a laboratory, even by the most inexperienced of users. They are inexpensive, robust, reliable and of equivalent sensitivity to laboratory ELISA methods. These single step immunochromatographic assays can be used with little or no previous experience.
