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.

Description

Spring Viremia of Carp is caused by Rhabdovirus carpio, a bullet-shaped RNA virus. The disease has been reported in common carp (or koi) (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and Crucian carp (Carassius carassius), a close relative of the goldfish. Recent evidence suggests that common goldfish (C. auratus) are also susceptible.
The disease was initially diagnosed in Yugoslavia (Fijan et al. 1971). Since then, it has been identified in other European countries, Russia, and the Middle East. Mortality has reached 70% in yearling carp from European populations. Adult fish can also be affected but to a lesser degree.

Exceptional value for money

Description 

The G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is a new genetically modified, recombinant DNA polymerase suitable for GC-rich templates that are difficult to amplify. The fidelity of G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is 70 times higher than that of Taq DNA polymerase. The high extension rate of G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is achieved by blending the DNA polymerase with an elongation enhancer. The optimized 5X G-HiFi™ Buffer includes special ingredients that suppress non-specific amplification as well as plateau effect produced by conventional PCR. With the optimized 5X G-HiFi™ Buffer, G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is capable to amplify most templates, such as longer targets (up to 40 kb from lambda DNA) and that contain GC-rich sequences. 

Features

• 5’→3’ DNA polymerase activity 
• 3’→5’ exonuclease (proofreading) activity
• Suitable for GC-rich templates 
• High reaction rate: 7 seconds/kb 
• High fidelity: 70 times higher than Taq polymerase 
• Generates blunt end amplicons  
• Vast elongation capability (up to 40 kb) 
• Thermo-stable for more than 10 hrs at 95°C
