A complete kit for the detection of African Elephant
African elephant poaching is a significant threat to conservation efforts and the wildlife tourism industry. Symptoms of this illegal activity include decreased elephant populations, disrupted ecosystems, and loss of biodiversity. It is crucial to detect poaching early to prevent further declines in elephant populations and protect the environment.
YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect African elephant DNA allows for sensitive and specific identification of poached ivory, aiding in anti-poaching efforts. Early detection of poaching can help authorities take immediate action to stop illegal activities, preserve elephant populations, and safeguard the tourism industry.
