For multiplex real-time PCR analysis, each sample was
tested against all 7 species-specific primers, or against the
6 common domestic species primers for determination of
detection limits. The reaction contained 0.5 ng of template
DNA, a 0.2 μM final concentration of the forward primer,
and a 0.2 μM final concentration of the reverse primer for
each species. A non-template PCR control was included in
all reactions.
