RESUMEN
Oviductus Ranae is the dried oviduct from Rana dybowskii, a forest frog species with medicinal, tonic, and cosmetic properties. Due to the high price and resource shortage, counterfeit varieties of Oviductus Ranae often appear in the market. However, traditional identification methods cannot accurately differentiate between Oviductus Ranae and its adulterants. In this study, a rapid molecular identification method has been established. The method involves extracting genomic DNA in just 30 s using filter paper purification, species-specific rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, and finally, fluorescence detection of the products. It can accurately identify Oviductus Ranae and its three common adulterants in about 30 min, making the process simple, fast, and highly specific.
