A transparent, optically clear, DMSO resistant, non-tacky film which adheres only when pressure is applied. It is non-pierceable and peelable. Clear plastic, reflective, glossy on the top. Very thin and light and doesn’t crease easily.
Detail
Overview
A transparent, optically clear, DMSO resistant, non-tacky film which adheres only when pressure is applied. It is non-pierceable and peelable. Clear plastic, reflective, glossy on the top. Very thin and light and doesn’t crease easily.
Crystal clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR
Non-sticky when removed from the packaging aiding with handling when using gloves
When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate – the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear

Overview
Fast and easy processing using rapid and convenient spin-columns
Isolate high quality and high yield DNA
DNA is free of inhibitors and ready for downstream use including SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and short-tandem repeat (STR) genotyping
This kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Using formalin to fix tissues leads to crosslinking of the nucleic acids and proteins, and the process of embedding the tissue samples can also lead to fragmentation of the nucleic acids over time. Norgen’s FFPE DNA Purification Kit provides conditions that allow for the partial reversing of the formalin modifications, resulting in a high quality and yield of nucleic acids. The purified DNA is of high yield and integrity and is free of inhibitors, ready for use in a number of downstream applications including qPCR, mutation screening, microarray analysis, sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and short-tandem repeat (STR) genotyping. The protocol can be completed in as little as 1 hour.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. The Proteinase K should be stored at -20°C upon arrival and after reconstitution. This kit is stable for 1 year after the date of shipment.
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
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.
Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.
