AICON-BIO® Avian Influenza Virus H9 Real-time PCR Kit
$338.00 – $672.00
The AICOH-BIO® Avian Influenza H5 Real-time PCR Kit provides specific and sensitive detection of the AIV-H5 subtype using one-step TaqMan qPCR. Freeze-dried reagents ensure ultimate stability, simplifying transport and large-scale poultry diagnostics.
Why this kit
Built for field-realistic veterinary laboratories
Lyophilized reaction tubes ship and handle at ambient temperature — no dry ice, no thaw cycles.
A single 45-cycle FAM programme; results read automatically by the instrument software.
Reconstitute, add 5 µL template, run. Primers, probe, enzyme and dNTPs are already in the tube.
ABI, Bio-Rad, Roche, QIAGEN, Agilent and others — no proprietary instrument required.
Intended use
What the Avian Influenza Virus H9 kit detects
The AICON-BIO® Avian Influenza Virus H9 Real-time PCR Kit uses real-time PCR technology and a premixed freeze-drying method to detect avian influenza virus subtype H9 nucleic acid. H9N2 is the most widely distributed low-pathogenic avian influenza subtype in commercial poultry across Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, where it is now effectively endemic.
Although classed as low-pathogenic, H9N2 causes heavy losses in combination with secondary bacterial infection, and it has repeatedly donated internal gene segments to H5 and H7 reassortants — as well as infecting humans directly. Routine H9 monitoring is therefore a One Health priority, not only a production one. The Kit qPCR mix (lyophilized) contains primers, probes, enzyme and dNTPs in one tube.

Workflow
Four steps from extract to result
- Extract nucleic acid with any commercial extraction kit.
- Reconstitute one lyophilized tube with the supplied buffer, mix, spin briefly.
- Combine 20 µL reconstituted reagent + 5 µL template (or control) = 25 µL reaction.
- Run the FAM-channel cycling programme; the instrument software reads the result.
Thermal cycling programme
| Cycles | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 cycle | 50 °C | 10 min |
| 1 cycle | 95 °C | 3 min |
| 45 cycles | 95 °C | 15 sec |
| 60 °C (FAM read) | 30 sec |
Set the reaction volume to 25 µL and select the FAM channel. On ABI systems leave the
analysis threshold at its default value of 0.2.
Result interpretation
Reading the run
| Ct value | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Ct < 37 | Positive |
| 37 ≤ Ct < 45 | Suspicious — retest with a fresh sample |
| No Ct | Negative |
no amplification and the positive control a clear amplification curve. If the negative control
amplifies, suspect contamination and repeat; if the positive control fails, the run is invalid.
Sample handling
Specimen collection & storage
| Tissue | Green-bean-sized piece into a 1.5 mL tube with 500 µL preservation solution; grind with a disposable pestle; centrifuge 1 min; take the supernatant. |
|---|---|
| Whole blood | Collect into an EDTA anticoagulant tube. |
| Serum | Allow the blood to clot or centrifuge at low speed; collect the supernatant. |
| Swab | Smear the sampling site, place the tip into a 1.5 mL tube with 500 µL preservation solution; grind a few seconds; centrifuge 1 min; take the supernatant. |
Storage & stability
Lyophilized reagents ship at room temperature — no cold chain required. On arrival, store the lyophilized reagents at −20 °C; liquid reagents below 4 °C. Stable until the expiry date printed on the label. Keep the tubes sealed in their aluminium pouches to prevent moisture uptake and bring them to room temperature before use. Once reconstituted, seal tightly, store at −20 °C and use within one month.
Results should be interpreted together with clinical findings, epidemiological context and other
laboratory results. Performance characteristics have not been established for regulated
diagnostic testing in every jurisdiction — contact
