Testing for Citrus Greening with AmplifyRP™

Agdia Testing Services now offers specific testing for Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB).  HLB is a highly destructive pathogen to citrus crops that has caused significant economic loss to growers in the southeast regions of the United States and other parts of the world.

Agdia Testing Services uses our newest DNA testing platform, AmplifyRP, to test for HLB at the species level.  Agdia will test your samples to determine if they are positive for the asiaticus strain of HLB.  This strain is the most predominant in the United States.  We can also test for the africanus and americanus strains upon request.

With the advantages of this new technology, we are able to provide you with your results typically within 24 to 48 hours.  Your results are confidential and are not shared with 3rd parties unless required by law.
