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.

Overview
Detection kits for Clostridium difficile
Lyophilized format designed for room temperature shipping
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Norgen’s Clostridium difficile TaqMan PCR Lyophilized Kit is designed for the detection of Clostridium difficile specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan® technology. The lyophilized format is designed to ship the kit at ambient temperature.
Norgen’s Clostridium difficile TaqMan Lyophilized Probe/Primer and Control Set is designed for the detection of Clostridium difficile specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan® technology. The lyophilized format is designed to ship the kit at ambient temperature.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
Once reconstituted, repeated thawing and freezing (>2 times) 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.
Each kit is provided with 4 tubes of 2X PCR Master Mix and each tube is enough to run 25 reactions. It is not necessary to reconstitute all Master Mix tubes at once. The Master Mix tubes can be reconstituted as and when needed.
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
This product is suitable for extracting total pathogen RNA from biological samples with no/low cell content such as body fluid, serum, plasma, soaking solution, tissue homogenate supernatant, culture medium supernatant, etc. The purified RNA can be used for clinical in vitro detection.
It is special designed for Pathogen RNA extraction from Sputum samples, can be used in tuberculosis (TB) detection.

Purification method
Polydisperse magnetic beads
Purification technology
Magnetic beads technology
Process method
Manual or automatic
Sample type
cell-free/low-content cell biological samples such as body fluids, serums, plasma, tissue homogenate supernatant, sputum
Sample amount
200-300μl
Adaptive instrument

Principle
This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by Buffer NFW.
Advantages
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes by column method
High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG

Storage and Stability
MagPure Particles and Proteinase K, DNase I should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 2 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for 18 months under these conditions.

Norovirus is known to cause acute gastroenteritis. It is a small (27-38 nm), round, nonenveloped RNA virus belonging to the Caliciviridae family and is responsible for over 80% of non-bacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the world. It affects individuals of all ages, with a distinct seasonal link to winter. It has a genome of 7.6 kb that is positive sense and has a single stranded linear confirmation. It encodes a major structural protein (VP1) of about 58 to 60 kDa and a minor capsid protein (VP2). Transmission occurs predominantly through ingestion of contaminated water, food and airborne transmission, as well as contact with contaminated surfaces. The ease with which norovirus is transmitted and the low infectious dose required to establish an infection results in extensive outbreaks in numerous environments, such as hospitals, hotels and schools. There is no antiviral drug available to treat this infection and little is known about its pathogenicity. However, it has been observed that the virus can be taken up by enterocytes where translation of viral nonstructural proteins can occur; it damages and alters intestinal microvilli, leaving them blunt and broadened, thus inhibiting absorption; it causes crypt cell hyperplasia and also leads to apoptosis of enterocyctes. An incubation period of 24-48 hours is usual. Infection is characterized by the acute onset of nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, aching limbs, raised temperature and diarrhoea that generally last for about 48 hours. However, more severe and prolonged infection may be observed in children and the elderly. There are five recognized norovirus genogroups, of which three (GI, GII, and GIV) are known to affect humans and, since 2002, variants of the GII.4 genotype have been the most common cause of norovirus outbreaks. There have been 31 different genotypes identified within the genogroups, with a wide degree of genetic variability present even within each genotype.
