Description

FluoroDye™ DNA Fluorescent Loading Dye is a ready-to-use 6X DNA loading dye designed for fast qualitative electrophoresis analysis. Containing sensitive fluorescent dye with high specific affinity towards double stranded DNA (dsDNA), the FluoroDye™ Fluorescent DNA Loading Dye has negligible background and renders destaining process unnecessary. The FluoroDye™ DNA Fluorescent Loading Dye allows the user to immediately visualize electrophoresis result upon completion or to monitor the electrophoresis in real time. FluoroDye™ DNA Fluorescent Loading Dye is compatible with both the conventional UV gel-illuminating system as well as the less harmful long wavelength blue light illumination system. FluoroDye™ emission as bound to dsDNA is 522 nm, while its excitation peaks are at 270, 370 and 497 nm.

Features:

• Excellent for premix with DNA samples
• Sensitivity: 0.14 ng (DNA)
• A safer alternative to EtBr
• Compatibility: suitable to blue or UV light
• Increased cloning efficiency (blue light)

Composition 

FluoroDye™ DNA Fluorescent Loading Dye is stored in 6X concentration in 60% glycerol and buffered with Tris-HCl and EDTA, containing Bromophenol blue, Xylene cyanol FF and Orange G as tracking dyes.

Mal-amido-PEG5-alkyne is a PEG linker containing a maleimide group and an alkyne. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The alkyne group can react with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The maleimide group will react with a thiol group to form a covalent bond, enabling the connection of biomolecule with a thiol. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

Brevetoxins (PbTx) are a class of cyclic polyether compounds produced by certain algae such as Karenia brevis. K. brevis can produce Brevetoxins in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major health threat and are important to monitor and mitigate. Brevetoxins are the causative agent of Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP).

• HiDi® stands for High Discrimination of mismatches at the 3’-terminus of primers in PCR. This myPOLS Biotec enzyme family is optimized for this feature and is the first choice for applications that rely on this property such as allele-specific PCR (asPCR) that is also termed allele-specific amplification (ASA).This polymerase is also available as a full-length Taq DNA polymerase with a nuclease domain, featuring 100% compatibility with hydrolysis probes (TaqMan® probes etc.).Benchmarking with products of competitors conducted by us and others show that the HiDi® DNA polymerase family is the first choice for highly selective PCRs, such as genotyping by allele-specific PCR, HLA genotyping, analysis of single CpG methylation sites or the detection of mutations in a high background of wild-type sequences. By using HiDi® DNA polymerase, less than 10 copies of a mutation can be detected in a background of >10.000 wild-type copies straight away without any other tedious assay optimization.Several independently conducted studies show that HiDi® DNA polymerase is ideally suited for use in asPCR in numerous research areas ranging from mutation detection to genome editing.

Example Primer Design

Matching vs. mismatching nucleotide is placed at the 3′-end of the primer for best discrimination results.

Example Results – There´s no accounting for taste

Cilantro: some people love it in their food, some hate it. Here we are detecting a genomic SNP (rs72921001) in HeLa genomic DNA. This SNP is reported to be close to a number of genes coding for olfactory receptors. (Reference: Eriksson N. et al. (2012), “A genetic variant near olfactory receptor genes influences cilantro preference.”)

Considering, that only the C-allele specific primer is extended and yielding in a specific amplicon, we can conclude a genetic predisposition in disliking cilantro, as this SNP is significantly associated with detecting a soapy taste to cilantro.  

Allele-specific PCRs were performed from 1 ng/µl of HeLa gDNA in the presence of a realtime dye, indicating the amplification of the C-allele specific primer only. The A-allele specific primer is discriminated, thus not amplified up to 50 cycles.

PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel. Specific product is visualized by ethidium bromide staining at the amplicon length of 109 bp.

Overview

• Detection kits for Clostridium difficile
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Clostridium difficile is rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium. It is the main causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The colonization of intestines by C. difficile is usually associated with the elimination of natural intestinal flora as a result of antibiotic application and is frequently reported in health care centers. While C. difficile infection could be severe and life-threatening, particularly among the elderly, many patients are asymptomatic making diagnosis challenging during outbreaks. The tradition method of detecting C. difficile infection is by cytotoxicity test of the toxin produced by the bacterium, but such protocols usually require extensive time before conclusion can be made.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Description 

Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit provides an easy method for rapid preparation of chemically competent cells with high transformation efficiency from fresh culture, overnight culture, or even directly from bacterial colonies on the plate. The competent cell preparation method eliminates the requirement of time-wasting wash step. In addition, preparation of competent cells from overnight culture or directly from bacterial colonies provides flexibility to cloning experiment. The resultant competent cells can be immediately used or stored at -70°C for one year. This kit includes a specialized SMO-Broth™ medium and a unique Champion™ CC Buffer for culturing and preparing competent cells efficiently. Following the simple and quick competent cell preparation protocol from fresh culture, the transformation efficiency is typically ranged from 10⁸–10⁹ cfu/μg transformants/μg of pUC19 plasmid DNA, but varies depending on the E. coli strains. The resultant competent cells can be further transformed using time-saving transformation protocol, eliminating the requirement of heat-shock and recovery steps. 

Features

• Flexible– fresh culture, overnight culture, 4°C stored liquid culture or even colonies on agar plate can be used for transformation. 
• Fast and Easy– only few steps for preparation; suitable for time-saving transformation 
• High efficiency– up to 109 cfu/μg 
• Personalization– suitable for most E. coli strains
