Overview

• Detection kits for ZIKV
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

The Zika Virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in Rhesus monkeys through monitoring of sylvatic yellow fever. During large outbreaks in French Polynesia and Brazil, national health authorities reported potential neurological and auto-immune complications of ZIKV disease. Agencies investigating the Zika outbreaks are finding an increasing body of evidence about the link between ZIKV and microcephaly. Infection with ZIKV may be suspected based on symptoms and recent history (e.g. residence or travel to an area where ZIKV is known to be present). Zika virus diagnosis can only be confirmed by laboratory testing for the presence of ZIKV RNA in the blood or other body fluids, such as urine or saliva.

Storage Conditions

All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.

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.

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Recover DNA fragments >100bp from agarose gel(<0.3g), purification of DNA from PCR, enzymatic reaction solution or crude gDNA
Applications	PCR, NGS, chip analysis, etc.
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Sample type	Agarose Gel, PCR products, enzymatic reaction solution
Sample amount	Agarose Gel: <0.3g,  PCR products: ≤50µl

The Kit method contains magnetic particles in an optimized binding buffer to selectively bind DNA fragments (>100bp) and larger to paramagnetic beads. Excess primers, nucleotides, salts, and enzymes can be removed using a simple washing procedure.

Advantages

• High recovery efficiency – up to 80% DNA recovery
• General – recover DNA from gel or enzyme-driven reaction solutions such as PCR

Storage and Stability

MagPure 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.
