What is the genesig q16? The genesig q16 is a revolutionary instrument launched by Primerdesign Ltd. The instrument is designed to accompany the genesig Easy product range which includes kits for more than 550 different DNA testing applications. The genesig q16 is designed to make DNA testing affordable and easy for anyone in any business.
What is DNA testing? DNA testing is the most sensitive and precise way to detect and quantify the presence of a DNA target. The underlying technology within the genesig q16 is real-time quantitative PCR. The technology has been around for 20 years, but to date has been complex and expensive to perform. The genesig q16 changes all that.
What can I use it for? The genesig Easy product range includes tests for a massive range of applications:
The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (TaqMan, ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers, TaqMan probes and templates. The master mix includes a 5’ to 3’ exonuclease activity to cleave TaqMan probes that hybridize to target sequences, releasing fluorophore during probe displacement. With TaqMan probes, the master mix features high specificity and high sensitivity. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (TaqMan, ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer that allows for sensitive and precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. The master mix includes ROX reference dye for the normalization of each qPCR assay. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (TaqMan, ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process.

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Once an individual has been infected the virus disseminates to the kidneys and the urinary tract where it remains for the lifetime of the individual. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). It is thought that 1-10% of renal transplant patients progress to BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) and up to 80% of these patients are reported to have lost their grafts. The onset of nephritis can occur as early as several days post-transplant to as late as 5 years. The mode of transmission of the virus is not clear, however it has been suggested that BKV may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. This virus can be diagnosed by BKV blood & urine testing, in addition to carrying out a biopsy in the kidneys. PCR techniques are now widely used to identify the virus.

For research use only and NOT intended for in vitro diagnostics.
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.
Robust lysis buffer is well-suited to even challenging samples such as pine needle, grape leaf, etc
Isolate total RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
Isolated RNA is of high quality, integrity and diversity
Also available in 96-well format for high throughput applications
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, including virus and viroid RNA, from a wide range of plants. Total RNA can be purified from fresh or frozen plant tissues, plant cells or filamentous fungi samples using this kit. All sizes of RNA are purified, including microRNA (miRNA) . The procedure is rapid and convenient.
The RNA is purified without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest quality, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit is also available in a 96-well (High Throughput) format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.
