When you want to know more, PDplus™ has the answers

Fast, accurate Phytophthora species identification now available to all users of the Pocket Diagnostic Phytophthora test kits.

PDplus™, the only service of its kind, uses a combination of a Pocket Diagnostic test and PCR DNA analysis to confirm the identity of four species of Phytophthora. The new service is a world first and will identify P. ramorum, P. kernoviae, P. fragariae and P. cactorum in plant samples. Because there are times when you need to know the Phytophthora species present. Simply put, Pocket Diagnostic will confirm Phytophthora is present: PDplus™ will confirm whether it is one of the four pathogenic species listed above.

Convenient and easy; all that we require to run PDplus™ is the positive Phytophthora test device from your field testing. There is no longer any need to send a potentially infectious sample to the laboratory. This speedy new package gives results within 48 hours of receiving the device, meaning you can make those important decisions even more quickly.

PDplus™ takes the uncertainty out of testing for these highly infectious and destructive pathogens. Once you’ve got a positive result on the Phytophthora Pocket Diagnostic test, you know there could be a problem. Having the species identified using PDplus™ lets you understand the issue more fully, allowing you to make and informed decision.
