Aflatoxin is the most common food toxin that is harmful to human and animal health. The most frequent aflatoxins are B1, B2, G1, and G2, which can affect the body through respiratory, mucosal, or cutaneous routes, causing an excessive inflammatory response. Aflatoxin can infect crops during their growing stages or even after they are harvested. It mainly targets the liver and can impair the effectiveness of immunization in children, increasing the risk of infection. Aflatoxin detection and quantification in food and feed is a critical part of food and feed safety concerns.

Overview
Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
Listeria monocytogenes has emerged as a significant foodborne pathogen that poses a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium. Due to its ability to survive high and low temperatures as well as low pH, it could resist various food processing technologies, as well as grow at food storage temperatures. L. monocytogenes is known to be associated with raw meat, unpasteurized milk and dairy products, vegetables, and seafood. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals being the most susceptible.
Norgen’s Listeria monocytogenes Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from cultured bacteria using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Listeria monocytogenes.
Upon receipt, store Norgen’s Listeria monocytogenes Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard at -20oC or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycle. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20oC or lower.
Preferred by most scientists, the ring magnet plate is a versatile product that can be used manually or in automated liquid handlers when separating beads into rings is essential.
Available in three magnet strengths like our U500 above
Features include solid aluminum alloy construction and hard coat anodized finish for years of trouble-free use, and compatible with any magnetic beads
Ideal magnet plate for those wishing to replace Beckman® PN: A32782. (50% Cost Savings*) Features all the same dimensions and even the same magnets. Does not include the spring base but it is the same height. Perfect for those using robots that do not require springs.
