Attogene’s Carbon Dioxide Enzymatic Assay Kit is a simple, direct method for measuring Carbon Dioxide levels in the environment. The assay uses a coupled enzyme assay to detect CO2 (as HCO3-) as follows. In the first step, the bicarbonate condenses with phosphoenol pyruvate to form oxalate (and phosphoric acid); this reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme Phosphoenolpyruvate Decarboxylase, PEPC. The oxalate is then enzymatically reduced by the enzyme Malate Dehydrogenase (using an NADH cofactor) to form malate and NAD+.

Overview
Detection kits for ZIKV
CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
The Zika Virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in Rhesus monkeys through monitoring of sylvatic yellow fever. During large outbreaks in French Polynesia and Brazil, national health authorities reported potential neurological and auto-immune complications of ZIKV disease. Agencies investigating the Zika outbreaks are finding an increasing body of evidence about the link between ZIKV and microcephaly. Infection with ZIKV may be suspected based on symptoms and recent history (e.g. residence or travel to an area where ZIKV is known to be present). Zika virus diagnosis can only be confirmed by laboratory testing for the presence of ZIKV RNA in the blood or other body fluids, such as urine or saliva.

ZIKV TaqMan RT-PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions
Specific Primer/Probe mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest
Nuclease-free water
Can be used together with Norgen’s RT-PCR Master Mix (#28113) or customer supplied master mix
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.
Fasciolosis is one of the most frequently encountered autochthonous helminthic infections in Central Europe. The immunodiagnosis of Fasciola hepatica infections is challenged by high serological cross-reacitivity with other (hepatic) parasitological infections encountered in Central Europe, such as alveolar echinococcosis, toxocarosis and ascariosis, but also other parasitic infections acquired during overseas travel. The SAP-2 recombinant antigen shows a high specificity, especially with patients with other parasitic infections. It is a suitable serological test for routine diagnosis of human fasciolosis, particularly if the results are supported by clinical history.
This product is manufactured by Bordier Affinity Products in Switzerland and distributed in Germany exclusively by Milenia Biotec.

Test Principle
The kit provides all the material needed to perform 96 enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays (ELISA) on breakable microtitration wells sensitized with Fasciola hepaticarecombinant antigen. Specific antibodies in the sample will bind to the antigen and washing will remove unspecific antibodies. The presence of parasite specific antibodies is detected with a Protein A – alkaline phosphatase conjugate. A second washing step will remove unbound conjugate. Revealing bound antibodies is made by the addition of pNPP substrate which turns yellow in the presence of alkaline phosphatase. Color intensity is proportional to the amount of Fasciola hepatica specific antibodies in the sample. Potassium phosphate is added to stop the reaction. Absorbance at 405 nm is read using an ELISA microplate reader.The test can be performed with automatic systems, but this must be validated by the user.

Isothermal nucleic acid Principle Summary
This kit is based on a rapid nucleic acid amplification technology at room temperature and constant temperature: at room temperature and constant temperature (generally 39℃~42℃), with the help of auxiliary proteins and single-strand binding proteins,the recombinase and primers form a complex;Source search and combine the target homology domain, at this time,a D-loop region is formed at the homology position and strand exchange begins;along with the dissociation of the recombinase from the complex,the polymerase also binds to the 3′ end of the primer and begins chain extension. At the same time, relying on the function of exonuclease, adding specific molecular probes designed according to the template, and using fluorescence monitoring equipment can realize real-time monitoring of the amplification process of the target fragment.
