SBC offers a full range of products for PCR experiments, from nucleic acid extraction to PCR analysis to cover needs of both on-site detection and lab confirmation. Our PCR reagents and PCR device provide flexible tilapia pathogen detection solutions for various applications.

Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) disease has been a huge threat to farmed tilapia since first discovered in Israel in 2014, leading to a great impact on the industry. Apart from the high mortality of the disease, ocular lesions, skin haemorrhages and discoloration are often observed in infected tilapia. Outbreaks tend to emerge in warmer seasons while the relatively high temperature of water encourages the occurrence of the viral disease.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method is recommended by OIE for TiLV detection. To prevent this lethal and contagious disease, SBC has developed a TiLV qPCR system. It is designed to provide fast diagnosis and reliable results, enabling our customers to benefit from on-site diagnosis and real-time disease monitoring.

The automatic nucleic acid reaction system with pre-filled reagents offer high-quality nucleic acids for downstream applications. The system is based on magnetic beads transfer technology to minimize manual handling and contamination risk. Up to 32 samples can be processed simultaneously.
