Description

Attogene’ s Cylindrospermopsin Lateral Flow Kit can be used to detect Cylindrospermopsin in source water samples.

Format: Rapid-Water – Run Time: 30 Minutes, enough to run two samples (undiluted and a 10 fold dilution) and negative control.

Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent cyanotoxin synthesized by select species of cyanobacteria, prominently including Cylindrospermopsin raciborskii. It belongs to the tricyclic alkaloid class, exhibiting a molecular weight of approximately 415 Da. Structurally, cylindrospermopsin features an uracil ring fused with a hydantoin moiety, alongside a guanidino group, attributes that render it highly soluble and polar in aqueous environments.

Cylindrospermopsin is notorious for its profound toxicity towards aquatic organisms and its potential threat to human health through exposure via contaminated water and food sources. Consequently, rigorous monitoring protocols are essential in regions prone to cyanobacterial blooms, where cylindrospermopsin can accumulate in freshwater reservoirs and other aquatic habitats. In recognition of these risks, regulatory bodies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented an action level guideline. As of 2019, EPA 10-day drinking water health advisory for cylindrospermopsin recommended a threshold of 0.7 parts per billion (ppb), or 700 parts per trillion (ppt) for children under the age of six, and 3 parts per billion, 3000 parts per trillion for anyone older, to effectively manage cylindrospermopsin levels. This precautionary measure aims to uphold both environmental sustainability and public health integrity by minimizing exposure risks.  The EPA has also drafted a human health recreational water quality criterion to protect human health at 8,000ppt.

EPA 10-Day drinking water Health Advisories for Cylindrospermopsin: 

Do not Drink – 0.7 μg/L for bottle fed infants and preschool children, pregnant and nursing woman, elderly immunocompromised and liver conditions

Do not Drink – 3.0 μg/L for school age children to adults

Do Not Use – 20 μg/L

EPA Draft Human Health Recreational Ambient Water Quality Criteria to protect human health: 8 μg/L

DBCO-PEG5-NHS Ester is a DBCO-containing PEG linker containing NHS ester that can react specifically and efficiently with primary amines (e.g. the side chain of lysine residues or aminosilane-coated surfaces) at neutral or slightly basic condition to form a covalent bond. PEG5 spacer increases the water solubility of compounds in aqueous media. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reaction. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

• Non-specific amplification is prevented by using this Taq DNA polymerase variant as the DNA polymerase is hotstart-formulated. The 10x reaction buffer supplied together with the DNA polymerase has been specifically designed for optimal PCR performance and DNA polymerase activity. This allows the use of this DNA polymerase in a wide range of PCR applications.For research use and further manufacturing. Designed and manufactured under ISO13485. Please contact us for bulk quantities and quotes.

Broad Amplification Range

Different-sized amplicons from 3 ng of a DNA plasmid were amplified. The use of Taq DNA polymerase resulted in clean and high yield of products, as analysed after PCR on a 0.8% agarose gel.

Faster Detection and Higher Sensitivity

A fragment (64 bp) of the human blood-coagulation factor IIa (F2) was amplified from 20 ng, 2 ng, 200 pg and 20 pg of a human genomic DNA extract. The same experiment was performed in parallel using the Taq DNA polymerase mix from another well-established and known supplier. PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel.
