      – Specificity has been checked by melt peak analysis and the presence of only a single band on a gel

 

    – Standard curves down to 10 copies per reaction have been run for each assay and all show excellent linearity (R² >0.99) Efficiency (>95%) and sensitivity (repeat of 10 copies consistently detected)
    – Primers have been tested at an annealing temperature of 57°C. Higher annealing temperatures (up to 60°C) are possible, but require individual validation

eDNA positive control/qPCR standard – Great Crested Newt

GCN
This standard has been made to detect Great Crested Newt DNA using the Natural England assay.

£120 for sufficient standard to run 15 standard curves
