Overview

• Detection kits for E.coli O157:H7
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

E. coli O157:H7 is a rod-shaped, gram negative bacterium. It is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the common E. coli bacterium and infection by the O157:H7 strain is commonly associated with hemorrhagic colitis. E. coli O157:H7 is recognized by its somatic (cell wall) antigen (O157) and its flagella antigen (H7). In addition, E. coli O157:H7 is known to produce Shiga-like toxins, which cause severe symptoms. While most patients can recover from the infection, up to 15% of the patients may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure that could be fatal. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly ground beef), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk.

OverView

The Heat&Run® gDNA removal kit removes contaminating gDNA from RNA prior to RT-qPCR.

The kit is based on the recombinant heat labile dsDNase, which is irreversibly inactivated at low temperatures (5 minutes at 58ºC or 15 minutes at 55ºC).

Reverse Transcription can be performed in the same tube, thereby minimizing pipetting steps and reducing hands-on time.

Protocol

The kit contains HL-dsDNase which efficiently removes gDNA from RNA preps before running RT-qPCR.

• gDNA is removed, leaving RNA ready for reverse transcription in the same tube (Figure 1).
• Heat-labile dsDNase can easily be inactivated.
• This procedure minimizes pipetting steps and reduces hands-on time.
• The Heat&Run kit is especially well suited for high throughput experiments.

The high activity of the HL-dsDNase at low temperature and its heat-lability makes it ideal to use in a combination with a heat activated RT enzyme. The contaminating genomic DNA is cleaved at ambient temperature and increasing the temperature over 50°C will inactivate the DNase and start the Reverse Transcriptase.

Do you require gDNA removal in applications other than RT-qPCR? Contact our support team for assistance in implementing dsDNase treatment in your workflow.

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.
