Overview

• Detection kits for H5N1
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Influenza virus infection of birds, humans and other animals is a major public health problem worldwide. Influenza viruses are classified as either type A, B or C based on differences in their nucleoproteins and matrix proteins. The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease and epidemics. The different types can be further classified into subtypes based on antigenic differences in two surface glycoproteins; hemagglutinin and neuroamidase. All known subtypes of influenza A can be found in birds (H1-H16, N1-N9), while a limited number of the subtypes have been found in humans (H1-H3, N1 and N2). However, over the past few years, various subtypes of Influenza A viruses, including H5N1, have been reported to infect humans (WHO, 2006). In addition, the coexistence of human influenza viruses and avian influenza viruses may provide an opportunity for genetic material to be exchanged between these viruses. This could potentially create a new virulent influenza strain that is easily transmissible and lethal to humans (Food Safety Research Information Office, 2006). Thus, there is the need for sensitive diagnostic tests to allow for the rapid and early detection of these H5 influenza virus infections, to help reduce the risk of epidemics or pandemics in both animals and humans.

Overview

• No need for staining and destaining of denaturing gels since Norgen’s loading buffer contains ethidium bromide
• Highly stable
• Nine bands from 200 bases to 4000 bases
• Convenient lyophilized format provides better product stability

The Norgen 1 kb RNA Ladder is a set of RNA transcripts derived from recombinant DNA templates. This ladder is suitable for precise sizing of a wide range of RNA molecules using native or denaturing agarose gels, and can be visualized under UV.

Contents: 
• 2 vials of lyophilized RNA ladder (25 loads each)
• 1x loading buffer: 33.3% formamide, 11.7% formaldehyde, 0.012% bromophenol blue, 0.05mM EDTA, 0.012% ethidium bromide, and 0.7x MOPS solution
• 2x loading buffer

Specifications:
• Nine discrete bands, ranging from 200 to 4,000 bases
• Higher intensity band at 1,000 bases for easy reference

Contents:
• 2 vials of lyophilized RNA ladder (25 loads each)
• 1x loading buffer: 33.3% formamide, 11.7% formaldehyde, 0.012% bromophenol blue, 0.05mM EDTA, 0.012% ethidium bromide, and 0.7x MOPS solution
• 2x loading buffer

Instructions:
To reconstitute the lyophilized RNA ladder, add 250 µL of 1x loading buffer to each 25 loads vial and vortex gently.
Heat at 80°C for 10 minutes. Incubate on ice for 1 min. Load 10 µL on a 1-2% gel. For optimal results, use Norgen 2x loading buffer with each RNA sample. No need for staining and destaining of denaturing gels since Norgen’s loading buffer contains ethidium bromide.

Store at -20°C.

Overview

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective.

Our Individual Access Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates, featuring 96 individual foil seal spots or 12 strips of individual spots on a removable backing.

These seals result in individually sealed tubes/strips, and they can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.

Individual Access Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid).

The seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.

This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter).

Peelable heat sealing foil, 96 individual seals with tabs, or 12 strips each covering 8 wells; suitable for very low-temperature storage/high temperature uses/PCR
