CONTROL POSITIVO, WMV-2, 1 TUBO_2,5ML

The antibodies were made against a Swiss isolate of WMV-2 from zucchini (3) and an US isolate from Florida (2), and react with WMV-2 in DAS-ELISA (1). Best sampling season for testing cucurbits is when plants are actively growing. Detection in cucumber leaves is not straightforward since a certain level of "background reaction" with healthy tissue is observed (which is not the case with melon, sqash, watermelon or zucchini). Samples are homogenised 1:20 (w/v) in extraction buffer «General» (Art. No. 110120). The product was developed in cooperation with the Federal Research Station Agroscope Changins - Wädenswil (ACW), Changins, Switzerland and the Cornell University, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY, USA.
