FAQ

What is emma PCR?

The emma PCR (ender molecular multiplex approach) is an innovative diagnostic test designed to rapidly identify and differentiate mastitis pathogens in dairy cows using PCR technology. It is developed by ender diagnostics in Switzerland and can be used directly in veterinary practices.

How does emma PCR work?

emma PCR uses real-time PCR technology to detect specific mastitis pathogens within 90 minutes. The process involves sample preparation, PCR amplification, and automated analysis, all conducted in a veterinary practice setting.

What pathogens can emma PCR detect?

emma PCR is capable of detecting a wide range of pathogens, including:

  • Contagious Panel:

    • Staphylococcus spp.
    • Staphylococcus aureus
    • Streptococcus spp.
    • Streptococcus uberis
    • Streptococcus agalactiae
    • Mycoplasma spp.
    • E. coli
    • Internal controls

  • Environmental Panel:

    • Staphylococcus spp.
    • Staphylococcus aureus
    • Streptococcus spp.
    • Streptococcus uberis
