Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow Kit can be used for the screening of Mercury in water and food (fish) samples at 10 ppb in a laboratory setting. Unlike the field-based kit, the lab kit is intended for a more technical end user who will be evaluating samples in a laboratory setting. The instructions include method for extraction from food samples.
Mercury contamination is a serious worldwide environmental problem. As it is difficult to detoxify by chemical or biological methods, gradual Mercury ion accumulation in the nervous and cardiovascular systems of the human body can subsequently cause serious diseases. Long-term health consequences of drinking Mercury-contaminated food and water include brain, heart, kidney, lungs and immune system problems for adults, and the physical and mental development delays in infants and children. Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow test gives results conforming of 10ppb or greater. Using the supplied pipette, simply fill the vial with your water sample, place the water into the sample port and wait 5 minutes.
Detection kits for Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of Chlamydia, is a Gram negative bacteria. Transmission of the bacteria occurs via contact with infected bodily fluids which then infect mucosal membranes. It can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and infect the eyes causing conjunctivitis. The genital infection causes urethritis, epididymitis and prostatitis in males and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in females with an increased risk of contracting HIV. The infection can be treated with a course of antibiotics. Sexually transmitted infections in females are most often asymptomatic, but can be noticeable in chronic pain of the pelvic region, vaginal bleeding and painful urination. Infection of the ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can lead to difficulties in conceiving, increased risk of ectopic pregnancy or infertility. Infections in males are more likely to be symptomatic, causing painful urination, discharge from the penis and swollen testicles and may eventually cause infertility if left untreated.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative coccus of the Neisseria genus. N. gonorrhoeae is usually seen in pairs infecting human cells. It has a circular DNA genome of approximately 1Mbp encoding over 2000 genes. N. gonorrhoeae is transmitted by sexual contact and usually causes infection in cells of the mucous membrane of the male urethra or the endocervix and urethra in females. During infection, polysaccharides are released from the bacteria that stimulate host cell production of tumour necrosis factors that cause an inflammatory response. There is no vaccine against N. gonorrhoeae infection and antibiotic resistance is beginning to increase, therefore treatment includes a course of antibiotics that will be effective against resistant strains. Complications in males caused by the infection can result in prostatitis or orchitis if the bacteria spread. In females, invasion of the fallopian tubes or ovaries can result in salpingitis or ovaritis respectively, with any of these infections possibly resulting in sterility.

Product Info
Overview
Crystal clear adhesive film which benefits from pressure activated adhesive. This seal is DMSO resistant, peelable; suitable for qPCR and other imaging techniques including crystallization.
Crystal clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR
It is non sticky when removed from the packaging; this aids handling when wearing gloves
The adhesive is contained within small capsules, allowing light to pass through to ensure the optical clarity of the seal
When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate – the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear
For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or KAPS 500 Auto Sealer

endo-BCN-PEG2-Acrylate is a PEG linker containing a BCN group and an acrylate group. The BCN group enables copper free click chemitry with azide-tagged molecules. The acrylate group enables Michael addition reactions. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research use only.
