The Plant RNA Kit (NA2014-01) is optimized for purification of total RNA from a wide variety of plant samples which rich in polysaccharides and phenol. It comes with proprietary magnetic beads and a specially optimized buffer. Toxic solvents such as phenol, chloroform are not needed in the process. The eluted RNA is high-quality and is ready for all downstream applications, such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, differential display. The procedures can be fully automated on the magnetic particle processor instrument and ease of use.
Giardiasis is a disease of the small bowel caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (syn.duodenalis or lamblia). Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites in the world, and occurs at very high prevalence rates in places with poor water sanitation. Individuals become infected through ingesting or coming into contact with contaminated water, food or soil. It can also be spread through the faecal-oral route due to poor hygiene practices, which makes it common in day-care centers. G. intestinalis lives inside the intestines of infected humans or other animals including cats, dogs, birds, cows, beaver and deer. Symptoms of infection include diarrhea, malaise, excessive gas, bloating, nausea, diminished interest in food, possible vomiting and weight loss.
There are 2 kits available for the detection of Giardia intestinalis:
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Kit, 100 reactions
Giardia intestinalis TaqMan RT-PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions
