Introduction

This kit is used for extracting total viral nucleic acid from non-cell/low cell content biological samples such as body fluid, serum, plasma, immersion solution, tissue homogenate supernatant, culture supernatant, etc., the extracted products can be used for clinical in vitro detection.

Principle

Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 20 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• High yield – carrier RNA contained in the product maximize the recovery of trace nucleic acid

• iDi® stands for High Discrimination of mismatches at the 3’-terminus of primers in PCR. This myPOLS Biotec enzyme family is optimized for this feature and is the first choice for applications that rely on this property such as allele-specific PCR (asPCR) or allele-specific amplification (ASA).HiDi® Taq 2x PCR Master Mix  – ready to use mix simplifies your PCR setup. Only target-specific primers and template need to be added as the mix contains all components for a successful and reliable PCR. This ensures reproducible results, significantly reduces set-up times and the risk of pipetting errors.Please note: This PCR mix is also available as a mix with a nuclease deficient variant, featuring higher robustness towards potential PCR inhibitors and compatibility with real-time dyes such as our GreenDye.Benchmarking with products of competitors conducted by us and others show that the HiDi® DNA polymerase family is the first choice for highly selective PCRs, such as genotyping by allele-specific PCR, HLA genotyping, analysis of single CpG methylation sites or the detection of mutations in a high background of wild-type sequences. By using HiDi® Taq DNA polymerase, less than 10 copies of a mutation can be detected in a background of >10.000 wild-type copies straight away without any other tedious assay optimization.HiDi® Taq DNA polymerase harbours a nuclease function and therefor is also suitable for use with hydrolysis probes (TaqMan® probes etc.). It has also been shown that HiDi® DNA polymerase family is highly suitable for quality control and mutation identification in CRISPR-Cas or TALEN-based applications.Several independently conducted studies show that HiDi® Taq DNA polymerase is ideally suited for use in asPCR in numerous research areas ranging from mutation detection to genome editing.

Example Primer Design

Matching vs. mismatching nucleotide is placed at the 3′-end of the primer for best discrimination results.

Example Results – There´s no accounting for taste

Cilantro: some people love it in their food, some hate it. Here we are detecting a genomic SNP (rs72921001) in HeLa genomic DNA. This SNP is reported to be close to a number of genes coding for olfactory receptors. (Reference: Eriksson N. et al. (2012), “A genetic variant near olfactory receptor genes influences cilantro preference.”)

Considering, that only the C-allele specific primer is extended and yielding in a specific amplicon, we can conclude a genetic predisposition in disliking cilantro, as this SNP is significantly associated with detecting a soapy taste to cilantro.  

Allele-specific PCRs were performed from 1 ng/µl of HeLa gDNA in the presence of a realtime dye, indicating the amplification of the C-allele specific primer only. The A-allele specific primer is discriminated, thus not amplified up to 50 cycles.

PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel. Specific product is visualized by ethidium bromide staining at the amplicon length of 109 bp.

Overview

Heavy duty heat sealing foil which is peelable; suitable for long term storage and transportation.

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
• Our ThermASeal Heat Seal is a heavy duty laminate foil seal suitable for providing a very strong, but peelable seal
• The seal is compatible with polypropylene plates to provide a high degree of sample protection
• It demonstrates very good solvent resistance and can be used for very low temperature compound storage, in DMSO and organic solvents, and long term room temperature storage such that it is recommended as suitable for sample transportation
• The seal can be pierced only by using a blade
• The seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
• Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT
