Cytoprep-1 Cyto/cytology centrifuge 

Overview

• Detection kits for Clostridium difficile
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Clostridium difficile is rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium. It is the main causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The colonization of intestines by C. difficile is usually associated with the elimination of natural intestinal flora as a result of antibiotic application and is frequently reported in health care centers. While C. difficile infection could be severe and life-threatening, particularly among the elderly, many patients are asymptomatic making diagnosis challenging during outbreaks. The tradition method of detecting C. difficile infection is by cytotoxicity test of the toxin produced by the bacterium, but such protocols usually require extensive time before conclusion can be made.

HighRanger 1kb DNA Ladder (Cat# 11900) – 100 loads

Ladder Properties:
• Thirteen discrete bands, ranging from 300 bp to 10000 bp
• Higher intensity band at 5000 bp for easy reference

Fragment	Size (bp)	Mass (ng)
1	10000	58
2	8000	53
3	6000	46
4	5000	67
5	4000	56
6	3000	47
7	2500	41
8	2000	34
9	1500	29
10	1000	18
11	700	13
12	500	23
13	300	14

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: 

This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.

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.
