Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) is a member of the herpes virus family, Herpesviridae. HSV-1 has a relatively large double-stranded DNA genome. HSVs are primarily transmitted by sexual intercourse, direct contact with lesions or perinatally. Most HSV positive cases are characterised by lesions on the skins and mucous membranes of the mouth and genitals. HSV infection can be either primary or a recurrence of a previous infection. More than 90% of the primary HSV infections are asymptomatic. Primary infection with HSV-1 can lead to gingivostomatitis, eczema herpeticum, keratoconjunctivitis and encephalitis. The primary symptoms of a secondary infection are skin lesions in the nose, mouth and genital regions. The infection is contagious, mainly during an epidemic.

Introduction

With the development of molecular biology, stool, a new non-invasive sample, has been widely used in the research of animal molecular genetics, population ecology, behavioral ecology and some intestinal disease diagnosis. Stool samples includes gut microbial DNA, food residue sample DNA, and alimentary tract exfoliated cell DNA.

The primary problem encountered when using stool sample for molecular biology research is the low content of exfoliated cells in the digestive tract and a certain degree of degradation of genetic material in stool. Another issue in molecular scatology research based on PCR is the presence of a large number of inhibitors in stool that can affect Taq enzyme activity, leading to downstream detection inactivation. These inhibitors include polysaccharides, plant polysaccharides, bile acids, bile salts, bile pigments, digestive juices, mucus, etc. Therefore, selecting appropriate extraction methods to obtain high-quality DNA is the key to successful downstream detection of stool DNA.

At present, the pretreatment methods used in the laboratory, such as phenol/chloroform extraction, cetyltrimethyl bromide (CTAB) lysis, and guanidine isothiocyanate lysis, lack universality in different species, and the success rate of extracting DNA for PCR amplification is also very low. The HiPure Stool DNA Kit provided by Magen Company has opened up a new approach for DNA extraction from stool samples with good universality, high cost-effectiveness, high yield and purification. The reagent kit adopts a unique solution system and inhibitory factor adsorbent, which can efficiently remove various impurities in stool samples. The purified DNA can be directly used for PCR, quantitative PCR and other applications.

This product allows rapid and reliable isolation of high-quality genomic DNA from various stool samples. Up to 100 mg soil samples can be processed in 60 minute. The system combines the reversible nucleic acid binding properties of HiPure matrix with the speed and versatility of spin column technology to eliminate PCR inhibiting compounds such as humic acid from soil samples. Purified DNA is suitable for PCR, restriction digestion, and next-generation sequencing. There are no organic extractions thus reducing plastic waste and hands-on time to allow multiple samples to be processed in parallel.

Principle

Stool sample is homogenized and then treated in a specially formulated buffer containing detergent to lyse bacteria, yeast, and fungal samples. Humic acid, proteins, polysaccharides, and other contaminants are removed using our proprietary Absorber Solution. Binding conditions are then adjusted and the sample is applied to a DNA Mini Column. Two rapid wash steps remove trace contaminants and pure DNA is eluted in low ionic strength buffer. Purified DNA can be directly used in downstream applications without the need for further purification.

Advantages

• High purity – unique adsorbent can completely remove inhibitory factors
• High concentration – maximum extraction of total DNA from stool samples
• High recovery – DNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• Good repeatability – silica technology can obtain ideal results every time

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K and Buffer PCI 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. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Introduction

Magnetic bead nucleic acid purification technology uses nano or micron superparamagnetic material as the matrix, generally black ferric oxide or yellowish brown ferricoxide as the magnetic material. The surface of bead is coated with appropriate functional groups, which can adsorb nucleic acid. Magnetic beads commonly used for nucleic acids, containing carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups, or silicon groups. Silicon-based magnetic beads are the most common, and its principle of adsorbing nucleic acid is consistent with the classical glass milk purification technology or glass fiber filter membrane purification method. Magpure particle is a kind of polydisperse fast speed silica magnetic beads. The core is ferricoxide, accounting for 50%, and the surface coating is silica, accounting for 50%. The product can be used for plasmid extraction, gel DNA recovery, product purification, genomic DNA and RNA extraction, and viral nucleic acid extraction.

Principle

Highsalt mediated binding: in the solution containing 2-4M guanidine isothiocyanate, Magpure particles can selectively recover DNA molecules, and impurities such as protein polysaccharides are not adsorbed.

Alcohol mediated binding: in the solution containing guanidine salt and alcohol (>25%), Magpure particles can selectively recover DNA/RNA molecules, and proteins and other impurities are not adsorbed.

After biological samples are treated with digestive solution or lysis Buffer, DNA/RNA is released from cells, organelles and protein complexes (ribosomes and nucleosomes) into reagents. After Magpure particles and binding solution are added, DNA/RNA is adsorbed to the surface of Magpure particles to form DNA/RNA bead complex. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic beads are separated and collected, and the impurities such as protein are removed with the waste liquid. After two or three steps of further cleaning, the DNA/RNA magnetic bead complex is resuspended in sterilized water or TE buffer, and the DNA/RNA falls off from the surface of the magnetic beads, so as to achieve the purpose of purification.

• The MagPure magnetic-particle technology combines the speed and efficiency of silica-based DNA purification with the convenient handling of magnetic particles. DNA binds to the silica surface of the magnetic particles in the presence of a chaotropic salt. DNA bound to the particles is then efficiently washed, considerably improving the purity of DNA. High-quality DNA is eluted. The automated purification procedure completely removes enzymes, nucleotides, and other contaminants and inhibitors. Purified DNA is suitable for direct use in downstream applications, such as sequencing and microarray analysis.
