029063 Protein Toxin Crystals Stain

Introduction

Intended Use

For the isolation and differentiation of sorbitol-negative Escherichia coli serotype O157 from food and animal feed and other materials

Principle and Interpretation

Enzymatic digest of casein and enzymatic digest of animal tissue provides nitrogen source, vitamins and growth factors; sodium chloride maintains balanced osmoticpressure; sorbitol is a fermentable sugar; No. 3 bile salt and crystal violet inhibit Gram-positive bacteria, potassiumtellurite inhibits non-o157 Escherichia coli, and cefixime inhibits Proteus; neutral red is a pH indicator; and agar is the coagulant of the culture medium.

Formulation

Preparation

Weigh 51.5g of this product, add 1L of distilled water or deionized water, stir, heat and boil until completely dissolved, dispense into Erlenmeyer flasks, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15min. Melt the sterilized culture medium and cool it to about 45℃, add 1 tube of supporting reagent (SR0240) (0.25mg potassium tellurite and 0.005mg Cefixime) to every 100mL of basal culture medium, mix and pour into the plate.

Quality Control

Cultural characteristics observed after incubation at 35-37°C for 18-24hours

Sorage and Shelf Life

Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry place, away from bright light. Storage period of 3 years.

Precautions

1. When weighing the dehydrated medium, please wear masks to avoid causing respiratory system discomfort

2. Keep container tightly closed after using to prevent clumping.

Waste Disposal

Microbiological contamination was disposed by autoclaving at 121°C for 30 minutes.

Overview

• Detection kits for Giardia intestinalis
• CE-IVDD marked in accordance with the European Commission Directive 98/79/EC.
• Research version available
• Available in Taqman format for analysis

Giardiasis is a disease of the small bowel caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (syn.duodenalis or lamblia). Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites in the world, and occurs at very high prevalence rates in places with poor water sanitation. Individuals become infected through ingesting or coming into contact with contaminated water, food or soil. It can also be spread through the faecal-oral route due to poor hygiene practices, which makes it common in day-care centers. G. intestinalis lives inside the intestines of infected humans or other animals including cats, dogs, birds, cows, beaver and deer. Symptoms of infection include diarrhea, malaise, excessive gas, bloating, nausea, diminished interest in food, possible vomiting and weight loss.

Storage Conditions

The Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 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.
