Cryptosporidium is a parasite found in water that causes an infection in mammals termed cryptosporidiosis. It is one of the most common water-borne diseases and is found world-wide. It affects the intestines of mammals and typically causes an acute short-term infection. The most common symptom is self-limiting diarrhea in healthy individuals, however in immunocompromised individuals the symptoms are particularly severe and often fatal. There is no specific treatment for cryptosporidiosis other than fluid rehydration and management of any pain. Therefore early detection of Cryptosporidium in water is the foremost action to prevent the infection.

Storage Conditions
The Cryptosporidium TaqMan 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.

Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular DNA fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp (DNA). HiPure Circulating DNA Midi Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. The extracted products can be used for clinical in vitro detection.

This product is based on silica Column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K, Carrier RNA should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Magnetic bead nucleic acid purification technology uses nano or micron superparamagnetic material as the matrix, generally black ferric oxide or yellowish brown ferricoxide as the magnetic material. The surface of bead is coated with appropriate functional groups, which can adsorb nucleic acid. Magnetic beads commonly used for nucleic acids, containing carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups, or silicon groups. Silicon-based magnetic beads are the most common, and its principle of adsorbing nucleic acid is consistent with the classical glass milk purification technology or glass fiber filter membrane purification method. Magpure particle is a kind of polydisperse fast speed silica magnetic beads. The core is ferricoxide, accounting for 50%, and the surface coating is silica, accounting for 50%. The product can be used for plasmid extraction, gel DNA recovery, product purification, genomic DNA and RNA extraction, and viral nucleic acid extraction.

Principle
Highsalt mediated binding: in the solution containing 2-4M guanidine isothiocyanate, Magpure particles can selectively recover DNA molecules, and impurities such as protein polysaccharides are not adsorbed.
Alcohol mediated binding: in the solution containing guanidine salt and alcohol (>25%), Magpure particles can selectively recover DNA/RNA molecules, and proteins and other impurities are not adsorbed.
After biological samples are treated with digestive solution or lysis Buffer, DNA/RNA is released from cells, organelles and protein complexes (ribosomes and nucleosomes) into reagents. After Magpure particles and binding solution are added, DNA/RNA is adsorbed to the surface of Magpure particles to form DNA/RNA bead complex. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic beads are separated and collected, and the impurities such as protein are removed with the waste liquid. After two or three steps of further cleaning, the DNA/RNA magnetic bead complex is resuspended in sterilized water or TE buffer, and the DNA/RNA falls off from the surface of the magnetic beads, so as to achieve the purpose of purification.
