Description

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Introduction

Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular nucleic acid fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp(Nucleic Acid). The HiPure Circulating Nucleic acid Micro Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. Samples can be either fresh or frozen (provided that they have not been frozen and thawed more than once). Free-circulating cell-free DNA, RNA or viral nucleic acids are eluted in Nuclease Free Water, ready for use in amplification reactions or storage at -30 to -15°C. Purified nucleic acids are free of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities.

Principle

This product is based onsilica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate andprotease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption plate andfilter column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is notadsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and otherimpurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Advantages

• High yield – most optimal process, free DNA (>50bp) can be obtained to the maximum extent
• High concentration – low elution volume, ensuring high nucleic acid concentration
• High purity – low alcohol binding method, completely removing inhibitor and protein pollution
• High recovery – DNA can be recoveredat the level of PG by silica gel column purification

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, Carrier RNAshould be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. Theremaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) andare stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can bestored 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.
