MicroSEQ™ ITS rDNA Fungal Identification Kit

The MicroSEQ™ ITS rDNA Fungal Identification Kit is a comprehensive solution including both PCR and sequencing components. It provides an easy-to-use, DNA sequence-based method to identify most fungi with high accuracy and objective results.

Key Features:

• High-Resolution differentiation: Targets the highly variable ITS1 and ITS2 spacers to differentiate between 'sibling species' fungi that are genetically similar but carry vastly different risk profiles in cleanroom environments.
• Primary barcode: Utilizes the primary barcode for fungal identification, enabling alignment with global phylogenetic standards.
• Objective Identification: Growth-independent measurement enables fungal identification based on objective genetic criteria rather than subjective phenotypic traits.
• High-Confidence Results: Powered by MicroSEQ™ ID Analysis Software to enable accurate, species-level identification.
• Flexible Database Management: Customizable libraries allow you to create proprietary databases or search validated libraries containing the most frequently encountered organisms.
• Simplified Training: Utilizes the same intuitive workflow as the MicroSEQ™ Full Gene 16S rDNA Bacterial Identification Kit, minimizing the learning curve for lab personnel.

Specific and Easy to Use

By leveraging phylogenetic analysis of the full Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region comprising the ITS1 and ITS2 non-coding region, this kit enables the identification of even the most challenging fungi and yeasts. To enable precision, the software compares your samples against a curated database of ITS sequences spanning over 22,000 species.
