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.

Description
The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is designed to be a safer replacement for conventional Ethidium bromide (EtBr) which poses a significant health and safety hazard for its users. The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye offers at least 10 times sensitivity in DNA detection levels, and is capable of detecting double stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments up to 0.04 ng in electrophoresis analysis. The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye shows a high specificity to the dsDNA, with negligible background signal, making the destaining process entirely optional. FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is compatible with both the conventional ultra violet gel-illuminating systems as well as the less harmful long wave length blue light illumination systems. The emission when bound to dsDNA is 522 nm, while its excitation peaks are at 270, 370 and 497 nm.

The Lactose/Galactose (Rapid) test kit is used for the rapid test of lactose, D-galactose and L-arabinose in food and plant products. Galactose dehydrogenase can be used the measurement and analysis of both D-galactose and L-arabinose. Suitable for the analysis of lactose in “low-lactose” or “lactose-free” samples which contain high levels of monosaccharides. The reagents provided in this kit are also suitable for use with AOAC method 2006.06 – Lactose in milk.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
