GeneAb™ Tau

Overview

• Isolate genomic DNA from either exfoliated cells or bacteria found in urine
• Isolate and detect genomic DNA from as little as 1 mL of urine and up to 50 mL urine
• High quality DNA for sensitive applications
• Rapid processing time

Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit for Exfoliated Cells or Bacteria is designed for the rapid isolation of either: 1) human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract; or 2) bacterial genomic DNA from urine samples. The kit allows for the isolation of DNA from 1 to 50 mL of urine. The genomic DNA isolated from exfoliated cells can be used in a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers. Bacterial genomic DNA from both human urine samples and urine samples from animals can be isolated with this kit in order to study the levels and types of bacteria that are present. The kit allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, including E. coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp, Clostridial ssp. and Leptospirosis spp.Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Typical yields of human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells will vary depending on the cell density of the urine sample, which is affected by a number of factors including health, diet and sex of the individual donating the urine. Typical yields of bacterial genomic DNA will vary depending on the urine sample and the bacterial species, if any, present in the urine. Healthy humans generally have < 10, 000 CFU of bacteria per mL of urine, and this kit is sufficiently sensitive to isolate and detect DNA from even this minimal amount of bacteria. The genomic DNA purified with this kit is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and Southern Blot analysis.

Description

As this is a 2 gene kit, we recommend purchase of 2 of the accompanying RT-qPCR master mix reagent: oasig Lyophilised OneStep RT-qPCR Master Mix 150 reactions.

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.
