26 Pome Viruses/Viroids
The ChapterDX PomePlex-26 NGS Kit utilizes a highly multiplexed PCR approach to detect a comprehensive panel of pome fruit viruses and viroids affecting apples, pears, and quinces. The assay targets 3–5 regions per virus for enhanced detection confidence and replaces traditional labor-intensive multiple single-tube PCR workflows with a streamlined, high-throughput solution.
