SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-Box 10 (SOX-10), also known as transcription factor SOX-10, is a nuclear transcription factor that acts in regulation of embryonic development and in the specification and differentiation of cells of melanocytic lineage. SOX-10 is diffusely expressed in neurofibromas and schwannomas, and mutations in the SOX-10 gene are linked to Waardenburg-Shah and Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease. Anti-SOX-10 has been shown to be sensitive for conventional, spindled, and desmoplastic melanoma, and has been used to detect metastatic melanoma and nodal capsular nevus in sentinel lymph nodes.

ProbeSure Multiplex Master Mix is an enhanced version of ProbeSure Master Mix, formulated to enable users to analyse up to four targets in one reaction well. For example, two bi-allelic SNPs or one reference gene and a further three genes of interest.
Users will require a plate reader capable of reading FAM, HEX, ATTO 550, ATTO 647N and ATTO 633 (the wavelengths of each of these can be found in our ProbeSure Multiplex Master Mix User Guide). ProbeSure Multiplex Master Mix is supplied at 2x concentration for convenience and is supplied with the ATTO 633 normalising dye at either high level (500 nM final concentration), low level (25 nM final concentration) or without ATTO 633.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogenic bacterial species belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, and is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (TB) is a multifaceted disease and challenging public health problem in both industrialized and developing countries. According to the WHO, 8.8 million active cases of TB are diagnosed each year and of these, almost 2 million die. Once thought to be under control or even close to extinction, TB infection levels are rising and the threat is compounded by new, virulent and drug-resistant strains. Although most cases occur in the developing world (22 countries accounting for 80% of all global cases), increasing population mobility combined with facility of transmission means that no country is immune from the resurgence of TB. TB control programs are currently facing a number of constraints. Worldwide, fewer than 25% of all tuberculosis cases are detected. Of utmost concern is the absence of a timely and accurate test for the diagnosis of mycobacterial disease. Early diagnosis is crucial for the prevention of further spread of the disease.

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.

Norgen’s Viral Transport Medium is formulated to transport samples that are presumably infected with a virus. Viral Transport Medium is manufactured based on CDC formula and is offered in bulk to provide an option to readily assemble swab collection devices for sample collection.
Norgen’s Viral Transport Medium (VTM) is designed for safe and efficient transport of viral samples, including but not limited to those from nasal, throat, and other swabs. The VTM contains a balanced mix of Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), gentamicin sulfate, and amphotericin B to preserve the viability of viruses and prevent the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi. The medium ensures the stability and viability of viruses, chlamydia, and mycoplasma for analysis using different techniques. In addition, the Viral Transport Medium eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
The Viral Transport Medium can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 year from the date of manufacturing without any reduction in performance.
