Product Details

Instrument Overview

The Pine Wood Nematode Detector is designed for the detection of Pine Wood Nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), a highly destructive plant‑parasitic nematode that causes severe wilt disease and mortality in pine trees (especially Pinaceae species). Early detection and monitoring are critical for implementing timely control measures and minimizing the impact of epidemics.

Detection Procedure

The Pine Wood Nematode Detector is typically based on molecular biological techniques, consisting of the following steps:
  1. Sample Collection
    Collect samples from suspected infected pine trees or wood materials, including trunks, bark, roots, sawdust, or other plant tissues where nematodes may be present.
  2. DNA Extraction
    Extract genomic DNA of the pine wood nematode from the samples using appropriate methods to obtain genetic material for subsequent molecular detection.
  3. qPCR Amplification
    Perform specific amplification of pine wood nematode DNA using real‑time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to determine the presence of the nematode and quantify the initial copy number of the target DNA sequence.

Instrument Structure

The Pine Wood Nematode Detector is a real‑time reaction monitoring instrument, mainly composed of:
  1. Gene Amplification Thermal Cycler System

  2. Real‑time Fluorescence Detection System

  3. Microcircuit Control System

  4. Computer and application software

The two core functional modules are the thermal cycler system and the real‑time fluorescence detection system.
  • The gene amplification thermal cycler uses semiconductor heating and cooling to perform thermal cycling, with a working principle similar to conventional PCR instruments.

  • The fluorescence detection system comprises a fluorescence excitation unit, optical signal transmission components, a fluorescence detection unit, and a control system.
