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.
There are 2 kits available for the detection of Giardia intestinalis:
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Kit, 100 reactions
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions

This product is based on silica gel purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption plate and filter column. DNA/RNA is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, DNA / RNA is finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10 MmTris, pH 8.0).

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K and DNase I (Powder) should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (DNase I up to 1 week, Proteinase K up to 8 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affecttheir performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for 18 months under these conditions.
