Description

Attogene’ s Cylindrospermopsin Lateral Flow Kit can be used to detect Cylindrospermopsin in source water samples.

Format: Rapid-Water – Run Time: 30 Minutes, enough to run two samples at 10 and 100 fold dilutions and two negative controls.

Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent cyanotoxin synthesized by select species of cyanobacteria, prominently including Cylindrospermopsin raciborskii. It belongs to the tricyclic alkaloid class, exhibiting a molecular weight of approximately 415 Da. Structurally, cylindrospermopsin features an uracil ring fused with a hydantoin moiety, alongside a guanidino group, attributes that render it highly soluble and polar in aqueous environments.

Cylindrospermopsin is notorious for its profound toxicity towards aquatic organisms and its potential threat to human health through exposure via contaminated water and food sources. Consequently, rigorous monitoring protocols are essential in regions prone to cyanobacterial blooms, where cylindrospermopsin can accumulate in freshwater reservoirs and other aquatic habitats. In recognition of these risks, regulatory bodies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented an action level guideline. As of 2019, EPA 10-day drinking water health advisory for cylindrospermopsin recommended a threshold of 0.7 parts per billion (ppb), or 700 parts per trillion (ppt) for children under the age of six, and 3 parts per billion, 3000 parts per trillion for anyone older, to effectively manage cylindrospermopsin levels. This precautionary measure aims to uphold both environmental sustainability and public health integrity by minimizing exposure risks.  The EPA has also drafted a human health recreational water quality criterion to protect human health at 8,000ppt.

EPA 10-Day drinking water Health Advisories for Cylindrospermopsin: 

Do not Drink – 0.7 μg/L for bottle fed infants and preschool children, pregnant and nursing woman, elderly immunocompromised and liver conditions

Do not Drink – 3.0 μg/L for school age children to adults

Do Not Use – 20 μg/L

EPA Draft Human Health Recreational Ambient Water Quality Criteria to protect human health: 8 μg/L

Introduction

The Kit is specially designed for simultaneous purification of genomic DNA and total RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. The Purified DNA/RNA is used for RT-PCR and PCR detection.

Details

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main FunctionsC	Co-isolation DNA and RNA from a single FFPE tissue sample
Applications	RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, PCR and second-generation sequencing, etc.
Purification method	Mini spin column
Purification technology	Silica technology
Process method	Manual (centrifugation or vacuum)
Sample type	FFPE slice, FFPE embedded tissue
Sample amount	No more than six 10µm sections of 150mm2 surface area or three 20µm sections of 150mm2 surface area.

Principle

FFPE samples are incubated in an optimized lysis buffer, which results in the release of RNA and precipitation of DNA. After centrifugation, the RNA-containing supernatant and DNA-containing pellet are then processed separately to purify RNA and DNA. For RNA purification, transfer RNA Lysate to an adsorption column and RNA is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, RNA was finally eluted with low-salt buffer. For DNA purification, transfer DNA Lysate to an adsorption column and DNA is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, DNA was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Advantages

1.Use non-toxic dewaxing solution without contact with xylene
2.Obtain both DNA and RNA simultaneously from the same sample. Elute separately without affecting each other (Have the same steps and effects as top brand 80234, perfect substitute.)

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 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 at least 18 months under these conditions.
