The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V2-V3 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.
The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V2-V3 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability Norgen’s 16S V2-V3 Library Prep Kit for Illumina is shipped as one kit box (for the 24 prep kit) or two sub-component kits (for the 96 prep kit). All kits should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
All kit components should remain stable for at least 1 year when stored at the specified storage conditions.
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.
