Biotin-PEG12-DBCO is a biotinylating reagent comprised of DBCO, a click chemistry handle that is frequently used to conjugate with azides on target molecules, and biotin, which is useful for affinity-based applications such as pull-down assays or for ligating with streptavidin proteins. The PEG12 imparts the hydrophilicity of the compound. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

The Aflatoxin M1 plate kit is a competitive enzyme-labeled immunoassay. The Aflatoxin M1 sample extract and calibrators are pipetted into the test wells followed by the Aflatoxin M1 antibody into the test wells to initiate the reaction. During the 30 minutes incubation period, Aflatoxin M1 from the sample and Aflatoxin M1 antigen compete for binding to the Aflatoxin M1 antibody. The Aflatoxin M1 antibody is captured on the walls of the test well. Following this 30-minute incubation, the contents of the wells are removed and the wells are washed to remove any unbound Aflatoxin M1 and free Aflatoxin M1 antibody. After wash, 1X HRP-conjugated Antibody#2 is added for 30 minutes incubation. The wells are washed afterwards, and a clear substrate is then added to the wells and any bound enzyme conjugate causes the conversion to a blue color. Following a 15-minute incubation, the reaction is stopped and the amount of color in each well is read. The color of the unknown samples is compared to the color of the calibrators and the Aflatoxin M1 concentration of the samples is derived.
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Once an individual has been infected the virus disseminates to the kidneys and the urinary tract where it remains for the lifetime of the individual. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). It is thought that 1-10% of renal transplant patients progress to BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) and up to 80% of these patients are reported to have lost their grafts. The onset of nephritis can occur as early as several days post-transplant to as late as 5 years. The mode of transmission of the virus is not clear, however it has been suggested that BKV may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. This virus can be diagnosed by BKV blood & urine testing, in addition to carrying out a biopsy in the kidneys. PCR techniques are now widely used to identify the virus.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 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.
