HCM188 Tryptose Phosphate Broth

The PCR-free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit was developed for construction of DNA libraries for next generation sequencing (illumina platform). The kit adds 3′-dT-tailed library adapters to both ends of DNA fragments efficiently. The kit uses double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library construction, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic methods (BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes etc.) and physical methods (sonication, nebulization etc.).

PCR-Free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow

PCR amplification is a standard step for library preparation of Next-Generation Sequencing. The PCR is used to amplify fully ligated DNA fragments and to add index information to the libraries. The indexing is for the pooling of the library samples in an effort to reduce the sequencing cost.

However, PCR introduces uneven amplification of DNA in some DNA regions with extreme GC-contents and secondary structures. This bias can cause very low sequencing coverage in such regions. DNA sequencing in these regions is still a huge challenge.

PCR-free library prep can reduce library bias and minimize sequencing gaps. The sequencing data from PCR-free library samples have even genomic coverage with few gaps and better depth in GC-rich regions. Our PCR-free NGS kit offers optimal coverage in the regions that are traditionally difficult, such as high-GC content regions, low-GC content regions, and repetitive sequence regions.

Two index types are available for the kit:

Non-index: Libraries do not have index.

Index: Each library contains one i5 index and one i7 index.  Library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible. List of indexes can be downloaded Here.

Kit advantages:

• • • Total time: 1 hr
    • Hands-on time: 5 min
    • Easy procedure: Ready-to-use master mix & Less reaction components
    • Input DNA amount from 100 ng to 1 ug

Name of Product

Fasciola hepatica – IgG ELISA

Catalog Number

AF 9650

Short Info

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.

Method/Platform

ELISA in microplate format

Range/Assay Sensivity

77% sensitivity, 98% specificity

Test Principle

The kit provides all the material needed to perform 96 enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays (ELISA) on breakable microtitration wells sensitized with Fasciola hepatica recombinant 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.

p504s, also known as α-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR), is an enzyme localized in the peroxisome and mitochondria, which functions in β-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids, as well as bile synthesis. AMACR has been clinically indicated as a tissue biomarker for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer, as well as high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, a precursor lesion of prostate cancer. p504s overexpression has also been detected in a number of other cancers including ovarian, breast, bladder, lung, and renal cell carcinomas, lymphoma, and melanoma.
