HCM051 Corn Agar Medium with 1% Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80)

Overview

• Isolate high quality DNA from a broad variety of phage strains
• High yields of total DNA
• Fast and easy processing using a rapid spin-column format
• No phenol or chloroform extractions or cesium chloride banding required
• High yields of DNA recovered 3-15 µg DNA from 10⁶-10¹⁰ pfu/ mL of enriched phages

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the purification of total DNA from a broad spectrum of bacteriophages propagated in bacteria grown in liquid cultures. The DNA is isolated without the use of phenol, chloroform or cesium chloride banding procedures. The spin-column based procedure is rapid and can be completed in less than 45 minutes. The kit is highly efficient for processing small volumes of phage supernatant (500 µL – 1 mL) and with the optional DNase and Proteinase K treatments phage DNA yields are maximized while host DNA contamination is minimized. Purified total phage DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), sequencing, cloning, Southern Blot and more.

Description

Organophosphate compounds (OP) account for the largest class of rural and urban poisons in the world that are used to kill pests but can also be toxic to humans.  OPs cause toxicity by means of blocking the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AchE).  The AChE-directed OPs react with a serine residue that is located at the catalytic site found within the AChE gorge. The OP targeted enzyme is no longer able to hydrolyze ACh, resulting in the buildup of ACh in the nerve synapse. This effect causes excessive excitation of the nerves, producing uncoordinated movements, tremors, paralysis and death.  Both synthetic and natural(Guanitoxin) organophosphates are dangerous to humans — exposure can lead to visual, coordination, muscular, and neurological deficiencies, and in some cases even to death.  In turn, exposure to OP is a significant public health concern which would significantly benefit from an improved detection platform.

Attogene’s Organophosphate detection kit is in designed specifically to detect Organophosphate in liquid samples.  For solid samples a simple sample preparation method is performed.  The ability to detect Organophosphate is performed is simple and sensitive.  The reaction uses a chromophore that can be detected by eye. In the presence of Organophosphate, the rate of chromophore production is reduced in a concentration dependent fashion.  The higher the concentration of Organophosphate the less color is produced.
