Overview

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

Candida albicans is an opportunistic yeast and is the most common fungal pathogen found in the human body. C. albicans can be detected in the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and vagina of approximately half of healthy adults. It is typically a commensal organism and makes up part of the natural human microflora; however it can overgrow and become pathogenic as a result of various conditions. For example, individuals who have taken recent courses of antibiotics, have a weakened immune system or have diabetes have an increased risk of developing a Candida albicans infection. When an overgrowth occurs, this can lead to common infections such as urinary tract infections, genital yeast infections, oral thrush, and mucocutaneous candidiasis. In the more severe cases, when Candida albicans enters the bloodstream or organs, it can lead to loss of sight, blood and bone infections, endocarditis, meningitis or inflammation of the intraabdominal lining.

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.

endo-BCN-PEG3-Boc-amine is a click chemistry linker containing a Boc-protected amine. The protected amine can be deprotected under mild acidic conditions. The BCN group enable copper free click chemistry with azide-tagged molecules. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Introduction

This product is suitable for extracting total viral nucleic acid from cell-free/low-content cell biological samples such as body fluids, serums, plasma, soaking solutions, tissue homogenate supernatant, and culture supernatant. The Purified DNA/RNA is used for RT-PCR and PCR detection.

Specifications

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. 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 Nuclease Free Water.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
