In general, currently two products are available encompassing DNA multiscan® and DNA turfscan®, to detect and identify the main pathogens of horticultural crops and turf grasses, respectively.

The different organisms listed below can be simultaneously detected depending on the version selected.

This list of detectable organisms is continuously expanding. An international research team is working full-time on identifying specific genetic material for detection of plant-related fungi, bacteria and nematodes.
