Introduction

A rapid, high performance dye-terminator removal process based on the paramagnetic bead technology. The paramagnetic bead format requires no centrifugation or filtration and is easily performedmanually or fully automated for high throughput dye-terminator removal. Compared to similar systems, this product produces sequences with longer Phred 20 read lengths and higher signal intensities than any other purification technology.

Principle

The CleanSeq method contains magnetic particles in an optimized binding buffer to selectively capture sequencing extension products. The protocol can be performed directly in the thermal cycling plate. Unincorporated dyes, nucleotides, salts and contaminants are removed using a simple washing procedure. The purification procedure is amenable to a variety of automation platforms since it requires no centrifugation or vacuum filtration.

Advantages

• High recovery – up to 90%
• High throughput – using magnetic beads purification technology
• Simple – simplified operation process, combination – washing – elution

Storage and Stability

CleanSeq Beads should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival and is stable up to 6 months under the condition. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. Mix CleanSeq Beads well before using. The reagent should appear homogenous and consistent in color.

Overview

• Detection kits for Clostridium difficile
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

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.
