2AGID-100

Avian GEN ID

£350.00

Description

The Avian GEN ID Kit provides a fast and reliable method for avian sex determination using PCR amplification of the CHD1 gene. The kit utilizes the P0/P2/P8 primer set developed by Han et al. (2009), allowing clear differentiation between male and female birds.

Using microLYSIS Plus, a direct-to-PCR lysis buffer, DNA is efficiently released from feather or blood samples without the need for complex extraction steps. PCR-ready lysates are directly amplified, and results are visualized through gel electrophoresis. The method is simple, with results available in under 3 hours, making it suitable for wildlife conservation, breeding programs, behavioral studies, veterinary diagnostics, and avian research.

  • Gallus gallus domesticus samples were used as template for PCR amplification with Avian GEN ID Mastermix. Avian sex was determined by the presence of two fragments (female) or one fragment (male).

  • Simple Workflow – Direct-to-PCR setup eliminates the need for DNA extraction.
  • Fast Results – From sample to result in less than 3 hours.
  • Versatile – Works with various bird species using blood or feather samples.
  • Inhibitor Resistant – Optimized buffers prevent PCR inhibition.
  • Hot Start PCR – Room temperature setup reduces non-specific amplification.
  • Sustainable – Requires less plastic than conventional extraction methods.
  • Wildlife Conservation
  • Avian Breeding Programs
  • Behavioral and Genetic Studies
