West Nile Virus (WNV) belongs to the RNA virus family of Flaviviridae. It is known to spread primarily through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. The virus infects mainly birds but is also reported to infect humans as well as pets such as cats and dogs. In humans, the majority of the infections caused by WNV are asymptomatic. However, some individuals (the majority of the confirmed cases) could enter a second, febrile stage with flu-like symptoms – commonly known as West Nile Fever. In a more serious stage, the disease becomes neuroinvasive, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Such severe conditions could lead to mortality. As the symptoms of WNV are very similar to other common diseases but can be fatal at a severe stage, it is important to distinguish the virus early in the diagnosis, particularly at the molecular level.

Introduction

The kit offers the unique feature to isolate total RNA including small RNA and DNA from serum and plasma without the need to resort to the cumbersome phenol/chloroform extraction or a time consuming proteinase digest. RNA purified using the kit is ready for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample material is denatured in Lysis Buffer. The protein is then precipitated by Protein Precipitation Solution and pelleted by centrifugation. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption.The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally RNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 60 minutes by column method

Storage and Stability

MagPure Particle N should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 8 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Name of Product

Hop Resistance Gene-Screen

Catalog Number

MGScHOR 1

Short Info

This test discovers hop resistance genes in a timely and precise manner

Method/Platform

PCR

Range/Assay Sensivity

10^4 – 10^5 cfu/mL

Test Principle

The technological basis for the GenLine tests  is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow Tests.

Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.

The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.

In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip.  A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.

Brief Instructions

1. The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared.
2. After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started.
3. The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test Strip

Storage

-15 to -20°C
