Clostridium difficile is rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium. It is the main causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The colonization of intestines by C. difficile is usually associated with the elimination of natural intestinal flora as a result of antibiotic application and is frequently reported in health care centers. While C. difficile infection could be severe and life-threatening, particularly among the elderly, many patients are asymptomatic making diagnosis challenging during outbreaks. The tradition method of detecting C. difficile infection is by cytotoxicity test of the toxin produced by the bacterium, but such protocols usually require extensive time before conclusion can be made.

Product Info
Introduction
The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from paxigene Blood RNA Tube using silica-membrane spin columns. RNA purified using the HiPure System is ready for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.
The Kit is for the purification of total RNA from 2.5 ml human whole blood collected in a PAXgene Blood RNA Tube. Purification begins with a centrifugation step to pellet nucleic acids in the PAXgene Blood RNA Tube. The pellet is washed and resuspended, and incubated in optimized buffers together with proteinase K. DNA wash The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column. Ethanolis added to adjust binding conditions, and the lysate is applied to a column.RNA is selectively bound to the silica membrane as contaminants pass through. Remaining contaminants are removed in several efficient wash steps. Between the first and second wash steps, the membrane is treated with DNase I to remove trace amounts of bound DNA. After the wash steps, RNA is eluted in elution buffer and heat-denatured.
Advantages
High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes by using column purification method
Safety – no phenol chloroform extraction required
Sensitive – direct lysis of blood, plasma and other samples without separation of leukocytes

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. DNase I should be stored at -20°C. However, short-term storage (DNase I up to 1 weeks, Proteinase K up to 8 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.

Tau proteins are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system, and function in microtubule stability and organization. Defects in Tau functioning and aggregation of these proteins have been clinically linked to a number of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Pick’s disease (PiD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), cortical basal degeneration (CBD), and frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17).
