The VetMAX MastiType Multi Kit enables rapid, accurate detection of 15 mastitis-causing pathogens and one penicillin-resistance gene in bovine milk. These 16 markers are detected using real-time PCR amplification of DNA unique to each pathogen in four separate reactions.

The advanced technology of the VetMAX MastiType real-time PCR assays offers these advantages:
• Designed for laboratories requiring high-throughput processing methods
• Faster results—typical time from sample to result is 2.5–3 hours, compared to up to 10 days for a culture
• High accuracy—high sensitivity and specificity for all individual pathogens
• Identifies and quantifies DNA, allowing detection of viable, dead, and growth-inhibited pathogens
• Allows use of preserved milk samples, eliminating the need for cooling during sample transportation
• Can be integrated into milk recording programs using preserved milk
• Validated with convenient MagMAX CORE nucleic acid purification method that does not require aspiration and centrifugation

The VetMAX MastiType Multi assay detects these 15 pathogens and one resistance gene in four separate PCR reactions:
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus spp. (including all major coagulase-negative staphylococci)
Streptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus dysgalactiae
Streptococcus uberis
Escherichia coli
Enterococcus spp. (including E. faecalis and E. faecium)
Klebsiella oxytoca (and/or K. pneumoniae)
Serratia marcescens
Corynebacterium bovis
Trueperella pyogenes and/or Peptoniphilus indolicus
• Staphylococcal β-lactamase gene (penicillin-resistance gene)
Mycoplasma bovis
Mycoplasma spp.
• Yeast
Prototheca spp.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What kind of milk samples can be tested with the VetMAX MastiType kits?

All VetMAX MastiType kits may be used with milk, bulk milk, frozen milk, or preserved milk (e.g., with bronopol).

What qPCR instrument can I use to run the VetMAX MastiType kits?

Either the Applied Biosystems 7500/7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System or the QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System may be used to run the VetMAX MastiType kits.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Real-Time PCR and Digital PCR Instruments Support Center.

Which sample prep kit do you recommend upstream of the VetMAX MastiType kits?
