GeneAb™ PMS2

Overview

• Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
• Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
• Includes partial sequence of STX-1 subunit A, and STX-2 subunit A genes (please refer to product insert for more details)
• Compatible with E. coli O157:H7 TaqMan PCR Detection Kit and E. coli O157:H7 TaqMan PCR Detection Probe/Primer and Control Set

E. coli O157:H7 is a rod-shaped, gram negative bacterium. It is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the common E. coli bacterium and infection by the O157:H7 strain is commonly associated with hemorrhagic colitis. E. coli O157:H7 is recognized by its somatic (cell wall) antigen (O157) and its flagella antigen (H7). In addition, E. coli O157:H7 is known to produce Shiga-like toxins, which cause severe symptoms. While most patients can recover from the infection, up to 15% of the patients may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure that could be fatal. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly ground beef), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk.

Norgen’s E. coli O157:H7 Quantified Bacterial DNA Standards are cloned fragments of the two Shiga-like toxin regions purified using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. They include partial sequences of STX-1 subunit A gene and STX-2 subunit A gene. Please refer to Appendix A for sequence information. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as positive controls or PCR quantification standards for E. coli O157:H7. This product is compatible with Norgen Biotek’s E. coli O157:H7 Taqman PCR Detection Kit (Cat. TM41350) and E. coli O157:H7 Taqman PCR Detection Probe/Primer and Control Set (Cat. TM41310).

Description

The Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of saxitoxin in shellfish samples. This kit can be used for rapid test of Saxition in samples such as mussels and lobster tomalley.

The Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Kit uses a polyclonal antibody that binds both saxitoxin and a Saxitoxin-enzyme conjugate. Saxitoxin in the sample competes with the Saxitoxin-enzyme conjugate for a limited number of antibody binding sites.

Drinking Water Thresholds:

Do not Drink – 0.2 μg/L for all

Do not Use – 3 μg/L

Overview

• Working volume of 0.36ml
• Round well with ‘V’ bottom for maximum liquid extraction
• High uniformity from well to well
• Raised well rims for reliable closing with heat sealing.
• Easy and reliable stacking
• Good centrifugation stability up to 6,000 × g for faster protocols and improved sample quality
• Manufactured under DNase/ RNase free environment without slip agents, plasticizers or biocides – Materials which could have a negative effect on bioassays
• Pure, virgin polypropylene guarantees good extractible performance, high resistance to chemicals, good mechanical stress and working with temperature extremes
• Autoclavable (121 °C, 20 min)
