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

DBCO-C5-PEG12-acid is an analog of DBCO-Acid with PEG linker and a DBCO group. DBCO group is a highly reactive cycloalkyne which is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. The hydrophilic PEG chain allows for increased water solubility of compounds in aqueous media. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. HATU) to form a stable amide bond. Reagent grade, for research use only.

Propargyl-PEG4-5-nitrophenyl carbonate is heterobifunctional reagent with a propargyl group and nitrophenyl group. The propargyl group enales the formation of triazole linkage with azide compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry. Nitrophenyl group is reactive towards the amino group of lysine by means of stable urethane linkages. The PEG units enhance the solubility of the molecule in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
