Description 

SMOBIO’s B-BOX™ is a long wavelength, blue light LED epi-illuminator. It is compact in design and robust in structure. The B-BOX™ epi-illuminator provides an unprecedented level of safety for its user due to its non-UV light source and a low operating voltage of only 12 Volts, as well as its capability working with non-carcinogenic DNA/ protein dye. The B-BOX™ comes with high quality non-flickering LED light that is highly sensitive for DNA and protein dye. B-BOX™ can greatly ease the routine chore of gel extraction, enabling easy visualization and gel cutting even in bright ambient light. The multi-angle filter plate (Cat. No. VE0102) provides optimal angles for gel cutting, visualization, and documentation. The B-BOX™ also comes with amber colored filter goggles (Cat. No. VE0103) for gel cutting and visualization. The Phox™ Photobox (Cat. No. VE0104) provides a mini darkroom environment for images taken with any smartphone. Finally, a built-in barrier system around the working area helps facilitate cleaning.

Features

• Improved cloning efficiency 
• Compact, lightweight, and portable (less than 1 kg in weight)
• Safety features include : 470 nm long wavelength, without any UV radiation hazard to its user
• Compatible with non-carcinogenic, non-ethidium bromide DNA staining dye
• User friendly: Samples are easy to visualize (when using the filter plate or goggles) 
• LED light source lasts up to 50,000 hours
• Superior detection sensitivity: ≤ 0.04 ng of DNA when using FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye, ≤3 ng of protein when using FluoroStain™ Protein Fluorescent Staining Dye (as sensitive as silver stain)
• Adjustable and removable filter plate allows for gel cutting, visualization, and documentation
• Built-in barrier design, for easy clean up
• Visible in bright ambient light
• Emphasizes minimal power reliance, low heat generation, with its own built-in heat sink

Introduction

This product is suitable for rapid extraction of DNA from FFPE sample, tissue, cells, blood, swabs, blood spots, semen and other clinical samples. This product uses size selection magnetic beads, which can selectively remove small sizes of DNA (100-300bp) from FFPE samples by adjusting the amount of binding solution, so as to improve the effective data volume of downstream NGS.

Applications	RT-PCR, northern blot, poly A purification, nucleic acid protection and in vitro translation, etc.
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Sample type	Large quantities of solids

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. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA 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 was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

1.Use non-toxic dewaxing solution without contact with xylene

2.Efficient removal of formaldehyde modification on DNA and improvement of PCR sensitivity

3. One of the best FFPE DNA extraction kits on the market, the same effect of paraffin slice extraction as top brand, and the effect of puncture sample extraction is even better than top brands

Storage and Stability

RNase A, Proteinase K and MagBind Particles 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.

Overview

• Detection kits for Streptococcus agalactiae
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the udder is mainly caused by infection of various bacteria. One of such mastitis bacteria, Streptococcus agalactiae, is highly infectious and causes mainly subclinical infections, which are not identified by the herdsman. As a result, S. agalactiae can spread widely within a herd, causing immediate loss due to reduced milk. S. agalactiae is a gram-positive bacteria belonging to the Group B streptococci. Traditional cultural identification of S. agalactiae is based on S. agalactiae being beta-hemolytic as well as presence of group B Lancefield antigen and by its ability to hydrolyze sodium hippurate.
