Overview

• Detection kit for Toxoplasma gondii
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled organism which causes Toxoplasmosis, the most common parasitic infection worldwide affecting animals as well as humans. Cats are the only animal in which sexual reproduction of the organism occurs, and for this reason cats are the only domestic animal which has the potential to shed T. gondii eggs. When disease does occur, it may develop following primary infection due to an inadequate immune response to stop the invasive tachyzoites or as a result of a reactivated infection due to a compromised immune system. The most common symptoms of the disease are anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, dyspnea, ocular symptoms and pyrexia. As toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to humans it represents a serious health risk for people living in close contact with infected animals. Infection is especially dangerous for people with suppressed immune systems and cancer patients as well as pregnant women.

Storage Conditions

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.

Introduction

The Kit is specially designed for simultaneous purification of genomic DNA and total RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. Purified DNA/RNA is suitable for use in applications such as real-time PCR and Pyrosequencing.

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main FunctionsC	Co-isolation total RNA and DNA from FFPE tissue
Applications	RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, PCR and second-generation sequencing, etc.
Purification method	Polydisperse magnetic beads
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Adaptive instrument	Nucleic acid extractor and pipetting workstation
Sample type	FFPE slice, FFPE puncture sample, embedded tissue
Sample amount	No more than six 10µm sections of 150 mm2 surface area or three 20µm sections of 150 mm2 surface area.

Principle

FFPE samples are incubated in an optimized lysis buffer, which results in the release of RNA and precipitation of DNA. After centrifugation, the RNA-containing supernatant and DNA-containing pellet are then processed separately to purify RNA and DNA. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/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 DNA/RNA was eluted by RNase Free Water.

Advantages

• Post digestion sorting – higher DNA and RNA yields
• Economy – the price is much lower than imported reagents

Kit Contents

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K and MagBind Particles 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 at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
