PathoSEEK® screening tests for early plant health are used to detect the presence of fungi and some mites on the cannabis plant.
This set of assays is a quantitative or real-time PCR (qPCR) test. PathoSEEK® qPCR detection assays are more robust and contain an internal control from plant markers, allowing quality control of the collection, storage, nucleic acid purification and qPCR detection steps.
PathoSEEK® Cannabis Virus Multiplex Detection Assay A is a quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-qPCR) assay that detects the presence of latent hops viroid, lettuce chlorosis virus and cannabis cryptic virus. These are three viruses commonly found in cannabis and hemp that can affect yield.
