Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry (Lee et al., 2005). S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulasepositive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology.

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.

PACE OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix combines reverse transcription (RT) and PCR in a single reaction. This advanced master mix simplifies workflows by eliminating the need for separate reactions for reverse transcription of RNA to cDNA, and PCR amplification from the newly generated cDNA. PACE OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix is highly efficient and sensitive, enabling detection of low-abundance RNA targets, particularly useful for applications such as gene expression analysis and viral RNA detection. PACE OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix demonstrates robust performance across a wide range of RNA templates and can be employed for both routine and challenging samples.
DBCO-NHCO-PEG4-acid is an analog of DBCO-Acid with a hydrophilic PEG spacer arm, which improves water solubility. This reagent is a non-activated building block with enhanced solubility in aqueous media and can thus be used to derivatize amine-containing molecule through a stable amide bond. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
