Changes to the Manual for sampling of planting material for virus tests

Publicationdate: 26 februari 2025

There is an updated version of the manual for sampling plant material for virus tests. In the manual you will find information about the working method, shipping and sampling for PCR and ELISA tests for viruses.

Grinding bags of the brand Bioraba 

• We explain in more detail why it is important to submit samples in these grinding bags.  
• We have also added a link to a website where suppliers of these grinding bags can be found. 

Minimum and maximum sample sizes 

• In the previous version, we only named the maximum sample sizes for a PCR and ELISA test. This number does not have to be followed exactly. To clarify this, we have now added the minimum sample size as well.
• The example photos are a guideline. Here we mentioned a weight. This did not always correspond to the maximum sample size. We have therefore removed the weight from the photos.
