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.

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.
The ssDNA Quantification Kit is developed for single stranded DNA quantification. The kit includes ssDNA Dye, ssDNA Dilution Buffer, and two ssDNA Standards. Simply dilute the ssDNA Dye with the ssDNA Dilution Buffer, add DNA sample (volume from 1-20 μL), then read the concentration using the Qubit® Fluorometer. The assay is accurate for DNA concentrations from 50 pg/µL to 200 ng/µL based on the line corresponding of the data to standards.
Our kit detects ssDNA by using fluorescent dye that enables sensitive single stranded DNA quantification , including ssDNA viruses, synthetic ssDNA, first-strand cDNA synthesis, denatured DNA, and bisulfate-converted DNA etc. ssDNA quantification is essential for the study of the biological process involves ssDNA.
Features
A series of input ssDNA (200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 ng) was used.
The performance of the BioDynami ssDNA Quantification Kit is nearly identical to that of Thermo Fisher’s Qubit ssDNA kit (figure below).
Comparison of BioDynami ssDNA Quantification Kit with Thermo Fisher kit.
Common contaminants such as salts, solvents, or detergents are well tolerated in the assay (Table 1).
Contaminants has been tested in BioDynami ssDNA Kit.
