Overview

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

West Nile Virus (WNV) belongs to the RNA virus family of Flaviviridae. It is known to spread primarily through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. The virus infects mainly birds but is also reported to infect humans as well as pets such as cats and dogs. In humans, the majority of the infections caused by WNV are asymptomatic. However, some individuals (the majority of the confirmed cases) could enter a second, febrile stage with flu-like symptoms – commonly known as West Nile Fever. In a more serious stage, the disease becomes neuroinvasive, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Such severe conditions could lead to mortality. As the symptoms of WNV are very similar to other common diseases but can be fatal at a severe stage, it is important to distinguish the virus early in the diagnosis, particularly at the molecular level.

Description

The SMOChem™ Deoxynucleotide (dNTP) Mix is an aqueous solution that contains an equimolar solution of ultrapure dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP, each at a concentration of 25 mM at pH 8.5. The dNTP Mix is designed for many different molecular biology applications that involved in DNA synthesis or labeling, such as PCR, real-time PCR, DNA sequencing, reverse transcription, primer extension, and etc. The dNTP Mix is free of exo-deoxyribonuclease and endo-deoxyribonuclease as well as ribonuclease activity. The dNTP Mix offers the possibility to reduce the number of pipetting steps and the risk of reaction set up errors. 

Features

• Ideal for PCR amplification and cDNA synthesis
• Premixed solution
• Nuclease and ribonuclease free

Applications 

• PCR amplification of DNA fragments
• DNA fill-in reaction
• DNA sequencing
• Reverse transcription
• One-step RT-PCR

Storage

-20°C for 36 months

Introduction

This product is suitable for extracting total viral nucleic acid from cell-free/low-content cell biological samples such as body fluids, serums, plasma, soaking solutions, tissue homogenate supernatant, and culture supernatant. The Purified DNA/RNA is used for RT-PCR and PCR detection.

Specifications

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by Nuclease Free Water.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
