Primer and probe mix (150 reactions) Reverse Transcription, target specific primers (RNA genome viruses only) Copy number standard curve (sufficient for multiple standard curves) Internal extraction control – Read through VIC channel* Endogenous control (150 tests) RNAse/DNAse free water *alternative fluorophores available on request
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
Rapid isolation of both small and large species of DNA from urine
Convenient spin column format
Effective removal of PCR inhibitors
Purified DNA is highly suited to sensitive downstream applications
Allows for the purification of viral DNA from urine
Both high molecular weight DNA (greater than 1 kb in size; mostly cell associated) and the smaller DNA (150 – 250 bp; derived from the circulation) is effectively isolated and purified using a rapid and convenient spin column protocol. This kit can be used to isolate DNA from a broad range of viruses in urine as well. Salts, metabolic wastes, proteins and other contaminants are removed to yield inhibitor-free DNA for use in sensitive applications. The DNA is of excellent quality for various downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and DNA fingerprinting, methylation studies and more.
This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 50 μL to 1.75 mL of urine. Multiple samples can be processed in 30 minutes.
Urine DNA Isolation Kit (Slurry Format)
This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 3 mL to 25 mL. Multiple samples can be processed in 30 minutes. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes.
Urine DNA Isolation Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)
This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 25 mL of urine up to 80 mL. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes.
Background
DNA found in urine can be divided into 2 basic categories. The larger species, genomic-DNA (gDNA), is generally greater than 1 kb in size, and appears to be derived mainly from exfoliated cells. The second species is smaller, generally between 150 and 250 bp (apoptotic-DNA), and derives, at least in part, from the circulation. The second species is also considered as an RNA/DNA hybrid as reported by Halicka et al. (2000). Both types of DNA can be isolated reliably using this kit.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm up Slurry B1 and Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed. Slurry B1 contains a grey resin that will not dissolve when warmed.
Brucella abortus is an intracellular, blood-borne parasite. It is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes an infectious and contagious disease called Brucellosis. The disease primarily affects cattle but it can also be transmitted to humans from infected animals and consuming their products. The disease can lead to great economic loss especially in the dairy and agricultural industry. The Brucella abortus genome contains two DNA chromosomes in a circular confirmation; the first chromosome is approximately 2.1 Mb and the second chromosome is approximately 1.2Mb. Unusually it does not contain any plasmids or genomic islands that relate to pathogenicity and lacks many other genes that code for common virulence factors including capsules, fimbriae, exotoxins, cytolysins, resistance forms, or antigenic variation. The most common mode of transmission to humans is through the ingestion of unpasteurized milk and cheese products as the bacteria are present in the milk glands of infected female cows. In cattle transmission can also be through ingestion but in addition, the bacteria can persist in the reproductive tracts of males, namely seminal vesicles, ampullae, testicles, and epididymides, allowing sexual transmission. In humans the bacteria enter macrophages by phagocytosis and then live in compartments of vacuolar space along the endoplasmic reticulum. They persist by inhibiting host apoptosis and go onto form chronic disease causing lesions in the liver, spleen, bone marrow and kidneys. In cattle the bacteria additionally infect the trophoblast epithelial cells, which provide nutrition to the embryo. The trophoblast cells eventually lyse, releasing further bacteria into the blood stream of the embryo. The B. abortus cells in the blood stream go on to colonize the placenta and fetus in pregnant female cows, resulting in abortion of the fetus. Abortion can also result from insufficient anti-Brucella activity in the amniotic fluid. In humans, the disease can be either acute or chronic and some of the symptoms include fluctuating fever, chills, sweating, headache, muscle pain and weight loss. Once a person becomes infected they are prescribed a combination of tetracycline and streptomycin for 3-6 weeks. In cattle, additional symptoms include arthritic joints and retained after-birth.
