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 of numerous significant pathogens. The genesigPLEX range provides the most efficient method of detecting DNA and RNA by combining multiple assays into a single tube. This principle of multiplexing represents state of the art PCR testing and is a key feature of the high-throughput testing conducted by laboratories around the world. These assays include process controls to verify the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminate 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 handbook.

Overview
Detection kits for Legionella sp.
CE-IVDD marked in accordance with the European Commission Directive 98/79/EC.
The Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 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.

DBCO-PEG4-triethoxysilane is a PEG linker containing a triethoxysilane moiety and a DBCO group. Triethoxysilane is commonly used for surface modifications. DBCO group can react with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules to form a stable triazole linkage without copper catalyst. The hydrophilic PEG chain increasse the water solubility of a compound in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (Cod UNG) from Atlantic Cod is the only commercially available UNG enzyme that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment. The enzyme is produced in a recombinant E. coli (ung-) strain that contains a modified Cod UNG gene.
Key Features:
Heat-labile – Completely and irreversibly inactivated at 55°C
Contamination control – ideal in applications below
Use of Cod UNG makes contamination control possible in RT-PCR
Does not degrade PCR product post-PCR. This makes downstream use of the PCR product possible
High purity enzyme, tested free of contaminating nucleases
There are several commercially available Uracil-DNA glycosylases on the market today. Most of them are of bacterial origin and work well if you have no intention to further analyze the PCR products post-PCR. However, if you want to store your PCR products for downstream analysis such as cloning and sequencing, the reactivation of UNG and subsequent degradation of your PCR products are a problem with most of the commercially available UNGs. Cod UNG from ArcticZymes is completely and irreversibly inactivated by heat thus ensuring that sample integrity is maintained long-term regardless of storage conditions.
This is illustrated in figure 1, below

Properties
Recommended Protocols
1. Contamination control in PCR, qPCR and one-step RT-qPCR
Cod UNG works in all commercially available master mixes.
Be sure that you have used dUTP containing dNTP mixes in your previous PCR experiments.
Add 0.2 U Cod UNG directly to your 20 µl PCR reaction.
pre-incubate for 5 min at room temperature.
For RT-qPCR, reverse transcribe your RNA at 50-55°C.
Run your PCR.
Store your PCR product at -20°C or 4°C degrees.
2. Contamination control in RT-LAMP
Cod UNG is ideal for contamination control in RT-LAMP. One unit of Cod UNG per 30 μl reaction is sufficient for removing even high concentrations of carry-over contamination.
Ensure that you use dNTP mixes containing dUTP in your experiments.
Check that the RT-LAMP reaction is compatible with dUTP by running side-by-side reactions containing different ratios of dUTP to dUTP (100% dUTP, 90% dUTP, 80% dUTP and 0% dUTP).
Add 1 U Cod UNG directly to your 30 µl RT-LAMP reaction.
Prepare the reaction mix on ice.
Analyze your RNA at 65°C, no preincubation is necessary.
