Choosing a tomato pathogen test kit
Start with the requested target, not a general tomato disease label. ToBRFV, TSWV, ToCV, TYLCV and ToLCNDV are separate virus targets; Cmm and PSTVd are also distinct catalog entries. This collection is a selection aid, not a combined panel.
What to check first
The PSTVd name is especially easy to misread: this product lists tomato seeds, not an unrestricted set of potato or pepper samples. Use the sample column below as a first check, then read the complete preparation instructions.

Selection questions to resolve
Does this V2 kit replace all tomato virus tests?
No. The product targets Tomato brown rugose fruit virus. ToCV, TYLCV, TSWV and ToLCNDV are separate catalog entries; the V2 label is not a multi-virus claim.
Is the Cmm test part of a tomato virus panel?
No. This is a separate Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis reagent kit. It is not listed as a multi-target panel for tomato viruses.
Can a TSWV test answer a ToBRFV testing request?
No. Tomato spotted wilt virus and Tomato brown rugose fruit virus have separate products. Confirm the requested abbreviation and full target name before choosing a kit.
Should I select ToCV or TYLCV from a short symptom description?
Confirm the required target first. This product is for Tomato chlorosis virus, while TYLCV is a separate product. A short symptom description is not sufficient to establish which assay your testing plan requires.
Can I substitute a ToLCNDV kit for TYLCV?
Treat them as separate products. This kit names Tomato yellow leaf curl virus; ToLCNDV names Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus. Match the requested assay to the SKU.
Does the potato spindle tuber viroid name mean potato tissue is the listed sample?
No. This IFU specifies tomato seeds and says it is not applicable to pepper seeds or leaves. Do not infer an approved specimen from the pathogen common name.
Is ToLCNDV the same kit as TYLCV?
No. Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus are listed as separate targets. Confirm the full virus name and sample type rather than relying only on a leaf-curl description.
Before you order
- Check the full target name, abbreviation and SKU; do not order solely from a common name or symptom description.
- Confirm that the actual specimen is within the IFU scope. Ask about unlisted matrices, preservation methods or specimen conditions.
- Read the matching IFU for preparation, controls, storage and result interpretation.
- Confirm equipment and program compatibility. Kits and the platform are separate products; do not assume any PCR instrument or third-party reader is compatible.
- For a quote, provide testing volume, existing equipment and destination, and confirm the sales pack, shipping and delivery arrangements.
