Description

DNA amplification made possible with a TwistAmp® Basic kit. Contains all the enzymes and reagents necessary for the amplification of DNA, the user needs only supply primers and template. Even PCR primers can work using TwistAmp® Basic. TwistAmp® Basic has been used for solid-phase, tailed primers, aptamers, electrochemistry and microarray applications. See manual for more information. Click to order oligonucleotides.

Perfect for: End-point gel electrophoresis DNA detection, down-stream applications (e.g. sub-cloning)

Overview

• Detection kits for Cryptococcus neoformans
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast. Infection with C. neoformans is known as cryptococcosis and is the cause of the most common life-threatening meningitis in patients with weakened immune systems, particularly in advanced HIV/AIDS. C. neoformans is commonly found in soil throughout the world. Human infection of C. neoformans occurs via inhalation of aerosolized spores. From the lungs, C. neoformans is spread hematogenously to the Central Nervous System (CNS), resulting in meningoencephalitis. Although the availability of antiretroviral therapy in the developed world has reduced the incidents of cryptococcosis, it is still a major problem in developing countries and is one of the leading causes of death in patients with HIV/AIDS. In fact, one of the major challenges in treating cryptococcosis is that many patients with cryptococcal CNS disease are asymptomatic in terms of cryptococcal pneumonia, making it difficult for early detection.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years 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.
