Description

Attogene’s Microcystin Test Kit (Rapid – Recreational Water) can be used to detect microcystins in liquid samples; highly sensitive, rapid, robust screening kit for algae toxins microcystins and nodularins.

The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.

A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on different numeric thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in recreational waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions—such as posting information about harmful algal blooms (HABs), issuing a recreational public health advisory, or temporarily closing recreational waters through a no contact advisory—depending on the severity of the bloom event.

Microcystin-LR

Informational sign postings about HABs at recreational waters: < 6 μg/L
Recreational public health advisory: 6 μg/L
Elevated recreational public health advisory (e.g. no contact): 20 μg/L

Overview

• Convenient – With the ready-to-use Master Mix, the user needs only to add template to the master mix and enzyme in order to set up the reverse transcriptase reaction
• Time Savings – Set up RT reactions in a shorter time since less pipetting steps are required
• Cost Efficient – No need to buy separate enzymes, dNTPs and buffers. All are included with the ready-to-use Master Mix kits
• High Sensitivity and Yield – the optimized Master Mix allows for highly sensitive amplifications with high yields of PCR products
• Robust Enzyme – broad range of working temperatures from 37°C to 60°C. Capable of amplifying difficult templates with a high degree of reproducibility

TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is Available in Three Convenient Formats:

1. TruScript Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Cat.#54440)

This kit contains 5X RT Buffer and a vial of TruScript Enzyme Mix (200 units/µL). This enzyme can be used for reverse-transcription reactions with any user-supplied primers.

2. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat.#54420)

This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of total RNA (both poly A- or non-poly A-containing transcripts).

The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and primers (oligo dT and random hexamers) for effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts.

3. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for mRNA (Cat.#54400)

This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of messenger RNA (poly A-containing transcripts).

The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and oligo dT primer for the effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts or enriched mRNA sample.

DBCO-PEG2-DBCO is a PEG linker containing two terminal DBCO groups. The DBCO groups is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions due to its strain promoted high energy. The hydrophilic PEG chain allows for increased water solubility. T Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
