The population number of vegetarians and people following the vegan lifestyle increase from year to year. This may be due to ethical, religious, cultural or health reasons. How do you ensure that your vegan sausage has really been processed without meat and animal derived products?

We offer a quick and inexpensive solution. Vegan Control™ Advance contains PCR reaction tubes pre-coated with all PCR reagents to reduce the total assay time without need to prepare aliquots of a master mix.

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 contamination of vegan foods. For research use only! Do not use for clinical diagnostic or testing of patient samples.
