Test Principle
FungaDia Aspergillus Galactomannan ELISA Detection Kit is a one-step enzyme sandwich microplate immunoassay which detects galactomannan in human serum and BAL fluid. Galactomannan antigen in the sample bind to anti-galactomannan antibodies (sensitized on the microtiter plates) and conjugate (monoclonal antibody/peroxidase). The presence of Galactomannan Antigen is detected with substrate TMB.
Purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary Silicon Carbide resin matrix
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Kits (Slurry Format) provide efficient methods for the purification of fragmented free-circulating DNA from human plasma or serum. The kit is able to isolate all sizes of circulating DNA. The slurry format provides an advantage over other available kits in that it does not require extension tubes for the purification of free-circulating DNA from large sample volumes. DNA can be isolated from either fresh or frozen samples using this kit. The kit will also isolate viral and bacterial DNA from plasma/serum. Typical yields of purified free-circulating DNA will vary depending on the input sample (1-100ng/mL circulating DNA in human plasma), with more concentrated samples tending to yield more free-circulating nucleic acids. The purified, inhibitor-free plasma/serum free-circulating DNA is eluted in an elution solution that is compatible with PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR and Southern Blot analysis.
Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Mini Kit (Slurry Format)
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Mini Kit (Slurry Format) provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating circulating DNA from various amounts of plasma/serum ranging from 50 μL to 400 μL. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes.
Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Midi Kit (Slurry Format)
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Midi Kit (Slurry Format) provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating circulating DNA from various amounts of plasma/serum ranging from 400 μL to 2 mL. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 45 minutes.
Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Maxi Kit (Slurry Format) provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating circulating DNA from various amounts of plasma/serum ranging from 2 mL to 10 mL. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 45 minutes.
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 transmitted by sexual contact and usually causes infection in cells of the mucous membrane of the male urethra or the endocervix and urethra in females. During infection, polysaccharides are released from the bacteria that stimulate host cell production of tumour necrosis factors that cause an inflammatory response.
There is no vaccine against N. gonorrhoeae infection and antibiotic resistance is beginning to increase, therefore treatment includes a course of antibiotics that will be effective against resistant strains. Complications in males caused by the infection can result in prostatitis or orchitis if the bacteria spread. In females, invasion of the fallopian tubes or ovaries can result in salpingitis or ovaritis respectively, with any of these infections possibly resulting in sterility.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
