Overview

• Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
• Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
• Includes partial sequence of STX-1 subunit A, and STX-2 subunit A genes (please refer to product insert for more details)
• Compatible with E. coli O157:H7 TaqMan PCR Detection Kit and E. coli O157:H7 TaqMan PCR Detection Probe/Primer and Control Set

E. coli O157:H7 is a rod-shaped, gram negative bacterium. It is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the common E. coli bacterium and infection by the O157:H7 strain is commonly associated with hemorrhagic colitis. E. coli O157:H7 is recognized by its somatic (cell wall) antigen (O157) and its flagella antigen (H7). In addition, E. coli O157:H7 is known to produce Shiga-like toxins, which cause severe symptoms. While most patients can recover from the infection, up to 15% of the patients may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure that could be fatal. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly ground beef), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk.

Norgen’s E. coli O157:H7 Quantified Bacterial DNA Standards are cloned fragments of the two Shiga-like toxin regions purified using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. They include partial sequences of STX-1 subunit A gene and STX-2 subunit A gene. Please refer to Appendix A for sequence information. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as positive controls or PCR quantification standards for E. coli O157:H7. This product is compatible with Norgen Biotek’s E. coli O157:H7 Taqman PCR Detection Kit (Cat. TM41350) and E. coli O157:H7 Taqman PCR Detection Probe/Primer and Control Set (Cat. TM41310).

Storage Conditions
Upon receipt, store Norgen’s E. coli O157:H7 Quantified Bacterial DNA Standards at -20°C or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20°C or lower.

Propargyl-PEG12-methylamine is a propargyl linker that is commonly used as a Click Chemistry reagent for copper-catalyzed reactions with azides. The methylamine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde), etc. The PEG spacer helps improve the water solubility of the molecule in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research use only.

General information

Champion™ Competent Cells are chemically competent cells, which were prepared by SMOBIO to make E. coli perform excellent transformation efficiency. Standard transformation protocol is recommended for large plasmids or non-ampicillin selection. Time-saving transformation protocol is recommended for simple and rapid transformation. Champion™ Competent Cells are one of the fastest and simplest ready-to-use competent cell products in the world.

Kit contents

1. Champion™ Competent Cells
2. pUC19 Control Plasmid (5 μl, 10-4 μg/μl)
3. Champion™ Transformation Protocol Card

Shipping condition

Throughout the shipping process, the temperature is maintained under -70°C. 

Storage and expiration 

Champion™ Competent Cells must be stored between -70°C to -80°C. Subsequent freeze-thaw cycles will reduce transformation efficiency. If high efficiency is required for the experiment, do not use aliquots that have gone through several freeze-thaw cycles. The efficiency of Champion™ Competent Cells lasts for 1 year with proper storage.
