Description

Our SNPsig® kits use our own proprietary genotyping method to enable the identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. These products can be used on any real-time PCR machine using familiar protocols, whilst resulting in exceptional genotyping data.

Positive control templates for wild-type and variants are supplied in every kit to make data interpretation simple.

Our SNPsig® technology provides an alternative to sequencing as well as S gene target failure (SGTF) that enables scientists to analyse and monitor these specific genomic mutations.  Our kits can provide a pivotal role in screening for SARS-CoV-2 variants for the purpose of genomic surveillance and studies.

Name of Product

Hop Resistance Gene-Screen

Catalog Number

MGScHOR 1

Short Info

This test discovers hop resistance genes in a timely and precise manner

Method/Platform

PCR

Range/Assay Sensivity

10^4 – 10^5 cfu/mL

Test Principle

The technological basis for the GenLine tests  is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow Tests.

Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.

The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.

In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip.  A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.

Brief Instructions

1. The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared.
2. After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started.
3. The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test Strip

Storage

-15 to -20°C

Introduction

The Kit is designed for purification of total RNA, including miRNA and other small RNA molecules (18nt), from cultured cells and various animal and human tissues, including difficult-to-lyse tissues samples.

Principle

Biological samples are first lysed and homogenized in a highly denaturing guanidine isothiocyanate-containing buffer, which immediately inactivates DNases and RNases to ensure isolation of intact DNA and RNA. The lysate is then passed through a Mini spin column. This column, in combination with the high-salt buffer, allows selective and efficient binding of genomic DNA. Flow-through from the column is digested by Proteinase K in the presence of ethanol. This optimized digestion, together with the subsequent addition of further ethanol, allows appropriate binding of total RNA, including miRNA, to the column. Contaminants are efficiently washed away and high-quality RNA is eluted.

Advantages

• High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes
• High applicability – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc.
• High concentration – efficiently remove macromolecular RNA, enrich small RNA and improve sensitivity
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent

Storage and Stability

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