The Primerdesign genesig Kit for Shigella species (Shigella_spp) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of Shigella_spp genomes. The kit is designed to have a broad detection profile. Specifically, the primers represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design.
The dynamics of genetic variation means that new sequence information may become available after the initial design. Primerdesign periodically reviews the detection profiles of our kits and when required releases new versions.
The target sequence is within the virulence plasmid pCP301 (VirA) which is carried by nearly all clinical isolates of shigella. This target has previously been shown to be a good genetic marker for Shigella in other real time PCR based studies (Hiroshi Fukushima et.al 2003.) The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with over 95% of reference sequences in the NCBI database based on a comprehensive bioinformatics 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.
Optically clear flat bottom plates with detachable wells allow for direct microscopic viewing and can be used with top and bottom reading instruments. Detachable wells give the user improved flexibility. Individual alphanumerical codes for easy identification. Minimum volume of 50uL maximum of 300.
