Brief Instructions
The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared.
After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started.
The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test
This test discovers beer germs in a timely and precise manner
Method/Platform
PCR
Range/Assay Sensivity
10^4 – 10^5 cfu/mL
Test Principle
The technological basis for the GenLine tests is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow tests.
Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.
The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.
In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip. A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.

Overview
Detection kits for Salmonella enterica
CE-IVDD marked in accordance with the European Commission Directive 98/79/EC.
Salmonella enterica have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. The symptoms of salmonellosis may include diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps with elderly, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible. S. enterica is a facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium that could survive low temperatures and freezing. The majority of the 1.3 billion annual cases of Salmonella-caused human gastroenteritis result from ingestion of contaminated food products, such as raw or undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs, as well as raw or unpasteurized milk and dairy products. Salmonella infections are also contracted following consumption of fresh fruits or vegetables that have been contaminated by infected fertilizer.
Salmonella enterica TaqMan PCR Kit, 24 reactions
Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality
Specific Primer and Probe mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest
Primer and Probe mix
Positive and negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents
The Salmonella enterica TaqMan PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 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.

Overview
Detection kits for HIV
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which destroys essential cells in the human immune system, such as CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of T cell), macrophages and dendritic cells. Infection with HIV therefore leads to an impaired immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic cancers and infections. Due to the mutating nature of HIV and damage to the T cells, the immune system is unable to fight off infections and disease. Without treatment, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The rate of HIV progression to AIDS depends on a number of different factors including viral, host and environmental factors. However, with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals with HIV will never progress to AIDS, having near normal life expectancy. Transmission of HIV is through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, either sexually; by the sharing of blood-contaminated needles or instruments; maternally through childbirth or breastfeeding; or via blood transfusion/organ transplant.
