Description

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Introduction

This product is designed for purification of high-molecular-weight genomic or mitochondrial DNA from a variety of blood samples. High-quality DNA can be purified from sample types including whole blood, buffy coat, bone marrow, body fluids in as little as 25 minutes. The convenient, scalable purification procedure removes contaminants and enzyme inhibitors such as proteins and divalent cation, and purified DNA is ready for immediate use in sensitive downstream applications or for archiving.

Principles

Cells are lysed with ananionic detergent in the presence of a DNA stabilizer. The DNA stabilizer limits the activity of intracellular DNases and also DNases found elsewhere in the environment. RNA is then removed by treatment with an RNA digesting enzyme. Other contaminants, such as proteins, are removed by salt precipitation. Finally, the genomic DNA is recovered by precipitation with alcohol and dissolved in Buffer TE. Purified DNA typically has an A260/A280 ratio between 1.7 and 1.9, and is up to 200 kb in size. The DNA can be safely stored at 2-8°C, -20°C, or -80°C.

Advantages

• Safe – without phenol chloroform extraction
• Environment friendly – the reagents used are safe, non-toxic and without pollution
• High molecular weight – the molecular weight of genomic DNA is about 50-150kb
• High purity – the purified DNA has A260/280=1.8-1.9, A260/230=2.0-2.5
• Unlimited sample size – solution type operation, sample volume can be adjusted at will
• Cost performance – the most economical nucleic acid extraction technology

Storage and Stability

RNase Solution should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Overview

Pierceable heat sealing foil which has a high solvent resistance. This seal is resealable, suitable for PCR, compound storage and sample shipping.

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
• PierceASeal Foil is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates
• This seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents
• PierceASeal Foil can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, or by a liquid handling robot
• This seal can be resealed by applying another PierceASeal Foil seal straight on top of a previously pierced seal
• This 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
• A green dotted line on the sheet foils clearly indicates the non-sealing surface, for ease of seal orientation and handling
