The PathogenBinder® Kit, comprised of a soiled bedding collection container with contact media, combines with our proprietary PCR test for optimized detection of rodent pathogens.
A Sentinel-Free Rodent Pathogen Detection System
While other pathogen screening methods have been developed to eliminate or reduce the need for soiled-bedding sentinels, PathogenBinder® can be used universally with any cage type, such as static microisolator caging, individually ventilated cages, and open-top caging, and is optimized to make sampling easy.
Our white paper describes the investigations to compare sampling treatment schedules and to select contact media to create the PathogenBinder® PCR sample collection process. In our white paper, you will:
- Discover the evolution from indirect agent detection using sentinel animals to direct agent detection methods used today.
- Get insight to the studies behind the development of the PathogenBinder®.
- Learn the best methodology to utilize sentinel-animal free diagnostic testing for racks with cage level filtration and when it’s appropriate to use.
