| pooling of cultured samples and comparison of multistate laboratory workflows with the magmax sample preparation system and vetmax quantitative polymerase chain reaction reagents for detection of tritrichomonas foetus-colonized bulls. | the objectives of the current study were 1) to compare sample preparation workflows and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays (qpcr) as currently used in veterinary diagnostic laboratories with a study protocol utilizing commercially available reagents for individual tritrichomonas foetus testing, 2) to assess the accuracy of pooling cultured smegma samples followed by extraction and qpcr testing as used in the study laboratory, and 3) to assess the specificity of the currently ... | 2014 | 24343558 |
