HCM168 Lysine Iron Agar

Overview

• Detection kits for Clostridium difficile
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Clostridium difficile is rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium. It is the main causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The colonization of intestines by C. difficile is usually associated with the elimination of natural intestinal flora as a result of antibiotic application and is frequently reported in health care centers. While C. difficile infection could be severe and life-threatening, particularly among the elderly, many patients are asymptomatic making diagnosis challenging during outbreaks. The tradition method of detecting C. difficile infection is by cytotoxicity test of the toxin produced by the bacterium, but such protocols usually require extensive time before conclusion can be made.

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.

N-(Propargyl-PEG2)-PEG3-t-butyl ester is a branched PEG linker with an alkyne group and a t-butyl ester. The alkyne group reacts with azide-bearing compound in coppper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry reaction. The amino group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyls. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

These DNA polymerases are ideal for Isothermal Amplification

IsoPol® BST⁺ is a heat-tolerant BST polymerase (large fragment) with enhanced strand-displacement activity. IsoPol® BST⁺ is active from 25 to 65°C. It is lacking 5’-3’- and 3’-5’-exonuclease activity.

Key features

• IsoPol® BST⁺ lacks 5’-3’- and 3’-5’-exonuclease activity.
• Inactivation – IsoPol® BST⁺ is completely inactivated after one minute incubation at 95°C
• Enhanced strand displacement and processivity.
• Increased salt tolerance.

IsoPol® BST⁺ Glycerol FREE 

Is the popular choice f or isothermal applications such as LAMP and RT-LAMP at point-of-care diagnostics for its superior amplification performance and robustness. The enzyme is offered in a 1X storage buffer at a concentration < 300 U/µl

IsoPol® BST⁺ High Concentration Glycerol FREE

(IsoPol® BST⁺ HC Glycerol FREE) is used to ease the product development processes in sequencing technologies, solid phase amplification and several isothermal technologies. Same performance as IsoPol® BST⁺ (i.e., high processivity, relative SDA, and relative activity) with the only difference that it is offered in a 2X storage buffer at a concentration > 500 U/

Key features

• High concentration
• High purity
• Lyophilisation and automation friendly
