Giardiasis is a disease of the small bowel caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (syn.duodenalis or lamblia). Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites in the world, and occurs at very high prevalence rates in places with poor water sanitation. Individuals become infected through ingesting or coming into contact with contaminated water, food or soil. It can also be spread through the faecal-oral route due to poor hygiene practices, which makes it common in day-care centers. G. intestinalis lives inside the intestines of infected humans or other animals including cats, dogs, birds, cows, beaver and deer. Symptoms of infection include diarrhea, malaise, excessive gas, bloating, nausea, diminished interest in food, possible vomiting and weight loss.
There are 2 kits available for the detection of Giardia intestinalis:
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Kit, 100 reactions
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.

Usages:
For differentiating enteric bacteria based on urease activity by adding 40% sterile urea solution.
Principle:
Peptone provides the carbon and nitrogen; maintain a balanced osmotic sodium chloride; potassium dihydrogen phosphate is buffers; decomposing bacteria urease urea medium, produce large amounts of ammonia, agar as medium coagulant.
Formulation (per liter):
Peptone 1g
Sodium chloride 5g
Glucose 1g
Ppotassium dihydrogen phosphate 2g
Phenol red 0.012g
Agar 12g
Final pH7.2 ± 0.2
How to use:
1.Suspend 21g in 1L of distilled or deionized water. Heat with frequent agitation and boil to completely dissolve the powder. Distribute into flasks. Autoclave at 121 for 15 minutes. cooling to 50-55 and adding 40% urea solution.
2.Diluted and treated samples.
Storage: Store in a dark, cool and dry place, tighten the cap immediately after use. Storage period of three years.
