Overview

• Detection kits for Cryptococcus neoformans
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast. Infection with C. neoformans is known as cryptococcosis and is the cause of the most common life-threatening meningitis in patients with weakened immune systems, particularly in advanced HIV/AIDS. C. neoformans is commonly found in soil throughout the world. Human infection of C. neoformans occurs via inhalation of aerosolized spores. From the lungs, C. neoformans is spread hematogenously to the Central Nervous System (CNS), resulting in meningoencephalitis. Although the availability of antiretroviral therapy in the developed world has reduced the incidents of cryptococcosis, it is still a major problem in developing countries and is one of the leading causes of death in patients with HIV/AIDS. In fact, one of the major challenges in treating cryptococcosis is that many patients with cryptococcal CNS disease are asymptomatic in terms of cryptococcal pneumonia, making it difficult for early detection.

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 

The GetClone™ PCR Cloning Vector II is a positive selection system for high efficiency cloning of blunt end DNA or amplicons. This cloning vector contains a lethal gene which can be disrupted by ligation of a blunt end DNA insert into the cloning site. Only colonies with inserted vectors are able to propagate, eliminating the additional needs of IPTG and X-Gal for blue/white screening. This cloning vector includes ampicillin and kanamycin resistance genes that can meet the needs of most users. 

Features

• Cloning efficiency greater than 90% 
• IPTG and X-Gal are not required 
• Accepts a wide range of insert/vector ratios 0.5:1 to 12:1 
• Accepts insert size from 6 bp to 11 kb
• The phosphorylation of PCR fragments is not required
• Accepts blunt end amplicon or DNA fragment (not for sticky ends)
• Ampicillin and kanamycin selection markers

Storage

-20°C for 24 months

Overview

• Convenient ready-to-use solution
• High sensitivity and yield
• Robust amplification
• Available in 3 convenient sizes: 100, 200 and 500 reactions (20 µL vol)
• This product is also a recommended add-on to be used with Norgen’s COVID-19 Primer and Probe Solutions and COVID-19 Positive Control 

Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use solution that contains components required for RT-PCR amplification of RNA templates. The mix includes M-MuLV reverse transcriptase, Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, reaction buffer, MgCl₂, KCl, and a PCR enhancer/stabilizer. The user needs only to add the template, the primer set and water to the Master Mix to set up the RT-PCR reaction. This convenient 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix reduces the time required to set up PCR reactions and reduces the possibility of contamination, particularly when preparing large numbers of reactions. The optimized master mix allows for robust amplification of RNA templates with high yields of PCR products.

Taq DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase that possesses a 5´→ 3´ polymerase activity and a very low 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity. The source of Taq included with Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is an E. coli strain with a cloned Taq DNA Polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus YT-1. M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA-directed DNA polymerase that can synthesize a complementary DNA strand initiating from a primer using either RNA (cDNA synthesis) or single-stranded DNA as a template. The source of the Reverse Transcriptase included with Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is an E. coli strain with a cloned reverse transcriptase gene from M-MuLV.

Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is available in 3 convenient sizes:

Cat # 28113 – 100 reactions (sufficient for 100 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume)
Cat # 28114 – 200 reactions (sufficient for 200 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume)
Cat # 28115 – 500 reactions (sufficient for 500 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume)

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) allows for progression of ovarian folliculogenesis, and enables Sertoli cell proliferation in the testis. Anti-FSH reacts with FSH-producing cells, therefore FSH staining is useful for classifying pituitary cancers and understanding pituitary disease.
