Attogene’s Cadmium Lateral Flow Kit can be used to detect Cadmium in water samples at 5 ppb in the field.
Format: 10 test cassettes
Run Time: 15-30 minutes
Cadmium contamination is a serious worldwide environmental problem. As it is difficult to detoxify by chemical or biological methods, gradual Cadmium accumulation in the nervous and cardiovascular systems of the human body can subsequently cause serious diseases. Long-term health consequences of drinking cadmium-contaminated food and water include numerous negative health effects. Attogene’s Cadmium Lateral Flow test gives results conforming of 5ppb or greater. Using the supplied pipette, simply fill the vial with your water sample, place the water into the sample port and wait 15-30 minutes.
Campylobacter jejuni is a curved, rod-shaped and microaerophillic gram negative bacterium. It is one of the most common causal agents of gastroenteritis with diarrhea as the main symptom. While infection of C. jejuni is seldom life-threatening, it is considered one of the most common food-borne bacteria with over 2 million people infected per year in US alone. Infection of C. jejuni usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly poultry), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk. Traditional identification of C. jejuni involves culturing, however the microaerophilic characteristic of this bacterium make the enrichment process laborious and costly.
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.

Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads consist of paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind DNA. They are used for DNA purification because they are fast, simple and efficient. We have developed our own beads technology that are different from other SPRI beads technologies.
Our Magnetic Beads(DNA & RNA Purification) combines BioDynami’s proprietary chemistries with reversible DNA-binding properties of magnetic beads. The magnetic beads, which are unique from other SPRI beads, are developed for effective nucleic acid purification by removing unwanted components such as salts, dNTPs, enzymes, primers, adapters, and other impurities. The beads are RNase free, can be used for applications of DNA, and even work with more sensitive RNA without any additional cost.
Our magnetic beads are optimized to selectively bind DNA fragments of 100 bp and larger, and RNA fragments of 200 bases and larger, similar to other SPRI beads such as AMPure® XP* and SPRIselect*. Purified DNA and RNA are suitable for downstream applications requiring high quality DNA and RNA, as the purified fragments are free of contaminants and impurities. The beads can be used for NGS library purification, PCR fragment cleanup, molecular cloning, or even nucleic acid concentration.
The beads can also be used for size selection of DNA fragments ranging from 150 bp to 800 bp by changing the bead-to-sample volume ratio and performing single or double-size selection. The beads are an ideal choice for NGS library preparation. They can be easily integrated into the standard workflow of NGS library preparation since the volume ratio is similar for protocols using standard magnetic beads.
Features:
Effective recovery of DNA and RNA samples
DNA fragments greater than 100 base pairs
RNA fragments greater than 200 bases
Removal of unwanted components and impurities
Fragment size selection for specific applications
Consistent single or double-size selection
Flexibility: compatible with manual and automated processing
Cost effective alternative to other beads such as AMPure® XP* and SPRIselect* with equivalent performance
* AMPure® XP and SPRIselect are trade marks of Beckman Coulter.
Magnetic beads recovery rate. dsDNA and ssDNA of genomic DNA, 1 kb DNA, and 200 bp DNA fragments were used. Total RNA was also tested.
Comparison of elution volume vs yield. 40 ul , 30 ul, and 20 ul of elution volume were used. BioDynami magnetic beads have better recovery rates at low elution volume when compared to other SPRI beads such as AMPure® XP*.
