Overview

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

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is one of eight herpes viruses known to infect humans and other vertebrates. VZV commonly causes chicken-pox in children and both shingles and postherpetic neuralgia in adults. Primary VZV infection results in chickenpox, which may rarely result in complications including encephalitis or pneumonia. VZV, like other herpes viruses, remains dormant in the nervous system of the infected person, and in 10-20% of cases the VZV reactivates later in life producing a disease known as herpes zoster or shingles. Serious complications of shingles include postherpetic neuralgia, zoster multiplex, myelitis, herpes ophthalmicus, or zoster sine herpete.

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.

Introduction

Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular DNA fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp (DNA). HiPure Circulating DNA Mini Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. Samples can be fresh or frozen (provided that they have not been frozen and thawed more than once).

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Isolation circulating DNA from 1ml plasma, serum, body fluids
Applications	qPCR, liquid or solid chip analysis, hybridization and SNP detection, etc.
Purification method	Mini spin column
Purification technology	Silica technology
Process method	Manual (centrifugation or vacuum)
Sample type	Serum, plasma and other cell-free fluid samples
Sample amount	1ml
Elution volume	≥30μl
Time per run	≤50 minutes
Liquid carrying volume per column	800µl
Binding yield of column	100µg

Principle

This product is based on silica gel purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption plate and filter column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10 Mm Tris,pH 8.0).

Advantages

• High yield – most optimal process, free DNA (>50bp) can be obtained to the maximum extent
• High concentration – low elution volume, ensuring high nucleic acid concentration
• High purity – low alcohol binding method, completely removing inhibitor and protein pollution
• High recovery – DNA can be recovered at the level of PG by silica gel column purification

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K and carrier RNA should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage(up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remainingkit 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 shouldbe redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
