West Nile Virus (WNV) belongs to the RNA virus family of Flaviviridae. It is known to spread primarily through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. The virus infects mainly birds but is also reported to infect humans as well as pets such as cats and dogs. In humans, the majority of the infections caused by WNV are asymptomatic. However, some individuals (the majority of the confirmed cases) could enter a second, febrile stage with flu-like symptoms – commonly known as West Nile Fever. In a more serious stage, the disease becomes neuroinvasive, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Such severe conditions could lead to mortality. As the symptoms of WNV are very similar to other common diseases but can be fatal at a severe stage, it is important to distinguish the virus early in the diagnosis, particularly at the molecular level.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

DBCO-PEG2-amine is a PEG linker which contains DBCO and amine moieties. The DBCO group is commonly used in copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. The amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde), etc. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases the water solubility of the compound. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

Introduction

This product uses an improved salt precipitation purification method to provide a safe and economical solution for High Weight genomic DNA extraction from blood samples, tissue samples, cultured cells, oral swabs, bacteria, and other samples. The extraction does not require the use of toxic phenol chloroform or any expensive reagents, making it the most economical reagent kit for nucleic acid extraction at present. This kit has no limit on the amount of sample used and can flexibly adjust various amounts of samples. The obtained DNA can be directly used for experiments such as PCR, enzyme digestion, Southern hybridization, and the Third-generation sequencing.

Principles

SolPure DNA Kits is an improved salt precipitation purification method. (Blood samples are lysed in red blood cell lysis buffer to remove red blood cells, and white blood cells are collected by centrifugation.) After lysis, DNA is released into the lysis buffer. RNA is removed by RNASE A. High salt solution is added to precipitate proteins and impurities. Centrifuge to remove precipitate and obtain supernatant containing only DNA. Add isopropanol to precipitate and recover DNA. Wash with 70% ethanol to remove salt, and finally add Buffer TE to dissolve DNA.

Storage and Stability

RNase A and Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 4 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
