Detail
OverView
AZtaq™ DNA Polymerase is a high-quality DNA polymerase, originating form Thermus aquaticus. Being highly thermostable, AZtaq is ideal for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications.
The enzyme catalyses the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand using a primed DNA or cDNA strand as template. It possesses 5’-3’ exonuclease activity while lacking 3’-5’ proofreading activity.
AZtaq is compatible with the use of dUTP, enabling highly efficient removal of carry-over contamination with Cod UNG.

Fourteen discrete fragments ranging from 25 bp to 650 bp in 50 bp increments
Double intensity reference bands at 200 bp and 400 bp
The Norgen MiniSizer 50 bp DNA Ladder is prepared to ensure quality and batch-to-batch consistency. This Ladder contains fourteen discrete fragments ranging from 25 bp to 650 bp in 50 bp increments with double intensity reference bands at 200 bp and 400 bp. The MiniSizer is ideal for PCR product size confirmation.
Contents:
1mL of premixed DNA ladder (0.5µg/10µL) in loading buffer (10mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.015% bromophenol blue, and 0.17% SDS).
MiniSizer 50 bp DNA Ladder (Cat# 11200) – 100 loads

Recommended Use:
Mix thoroughly. For best results, load 10µL of DNA ladder per well. For precise mass determination with a densitometer, stain gel after electrophoresis using 0.5µg/mL ethidium bromide for 30-40 minutes. The table above shows the size and mass for each band based on 10µL ladder per well.
Storage:
Stable at room temperature. For longer term storage, -20°C is recommended.
This ladder was standardized using 10µL of DNA per lane on a 0.8 cm thick, 13 x 15 cm, 1.0% agarose gel run in TAE buffer.
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.

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.
