Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a serine protease of the kallikrein family, that is produced by the prostate epithelium and epithelial lining of the periurethral glands. Although considered prostate-specific, PSA has also been detected in breast tissue, breast tumors, endometrium, adrenal neoplasms, and renal cell carcinomas. Anti-PSA can be used for differentiating high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma from high-grade urothelial carcinoma, as well as for determining the prostatic origin of carcinomas in non-prostate tissues. Anti-PSA recognizes primary and metastatic prostatic neoplasms, but not tumors of nonprostatic origin, and can be useful as an aid to confirm prostatic acinar cell origin in primary and metastatic carcinomas.

Overview
Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative coccus of the Neisseria genus. N. gonorrhoeae is usually seen in pairs infecting human cells. It has a circular DNA genome of approximately 1Mbp encoding over 2000 genes. N. gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) gonorrhoea, which globally causes an estimated 60 million new cases of gonococcal disease annually. It is second only to Chlamydia trachomatis as the most reported notifiable sexually transmitted disease. Infections with N. gonorrhoeae are primarily restricted to the mucus membranes of the endocervix, urethra, rectum, and pharynx. In females, gonorrhoea is a major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease and may lead to tubal infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain, whereas in males it primarily causes urethritis. Importantly, these infections may often be asymptomatic, thereby contributing to further transmission and maintenance of the disease within populations.
Norgen’s Neisseria gonorrhoeae Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from pelleted bacteria grown on culture plates using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Volume Provided – 250 µL DNA Quantity – 2 x 104 copies per µL
Storage Conditions Upon receipt, store Norgen’s Neisseria gonorrhoeae Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard at -20oC or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20oC or lower.

Description
The DM2360 FluoroBand™ 100 bp+3K Fluorescent DNA Ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with high sensitivity DNA binding fluorescent dye and loading dye for direct gel loading. The DNA Ladder DM2360 is composed of 12 individual DNA fragments: 3k, 1.5k, 1k, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200 and 100 bp derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA; these bands can be visualized when illuminated with 470 nm blue light or UV light. This product contains two enhanced bands (1.5 kb and 500 bp) for easier reference. In addition, two tracking dyes, Xylene cyanol FF and Orange G which mimic the migration of 4,000 bp and 50 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis are also added for real time monitoring. Real time observation of the electrophoresis is also possible if compatible light source is fitted to the electrophoresis tank.
