Immunomart Inc, a leading provider of diagnostic solutions, has released a new test kit for the detection of Lettuce chlorosis virus (LCV) in Canada. The LCV Test Kit is designed to help growers and farmers detect the presence of the virus in their lettuce crops, allowing them to take timely and appropriate measures to prevent the spread of the disease and protect their crops.
LCV is a plant virus that affects lettuce crops and can cause significant yield losses if left unchecked. The virus is transmitted by the soil-borne fungus Olpidium brassicae and can survive in the soil for many years, making it difficult to control. Symptoms of LCV infection in lettuce plants include yellowing and mottling of the leaves, stunted growth, and reduced quality and quantity of the crop.
The LCV Test Kit from Immunomart is a reliable and easy-to-use diagnostic tool that uses an immunochromatographic assay to detect the presence of LCV in lettuce samples. The test kit is based on the lateral flow technology and can provide accurate results in just 10 minutes. It is also highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 10 ng/mL, ensuring that even low levels of the virus can be detected.
Immunomart’s LCV Test Kit is ideal for use by growers and farmers of all sizes, whether they are growing lettuce in open fields or in greenhouses. The test kit is also suitable for use in laboratories and research facilities. It is a cost-effective solution that can help prevent the spread of LCV and protect the livelihoods of growers and farmers.
To use the LCV Test Kit, simply collect a sample of lettuce leaves and grind them into a fine powder. Add the extraction buffer to the sample and mix well. Then, add a few drops of the extracted sample to the test cassette and wait for the results to appear. The presence of a red line in the control area indicates that the test is working correctly, while the appearance of a red line in the test area indicates the presence of LCV in the sample.
With the release of the LCV Test Kit, Immunomart Inc is once again demonstrating its commitment to providing innovative and reliable diagnostic solutions to the agricultural industry. By offering a simple and effective way to detect LCV in lettuce crops, Immunomart is helping Canadian growers and farmers to protect their crops and maintain a healthy agricultural industry.
