Twenty 4.5X60mm strips of each combination of nitrocellulose (4X), wicking material (2X), and sample pad (3X)
Blank lateral flow strips are the perfect companion during the development and feasibility testing of a lateral flow device. IN THE BEGINNING, the capture and test line reagents can be spotted onto the nitrocellulose portion of the blank strips at different concentrations, volumes and buffer conditions. This enables the user to determine the optimal conditions for subsequent spraying and enables the user to verify the test and controls will respond according to expectations before scaling up the process.
These blank strips are compatible with all of our colloidal gold products AND:
Lateral flow cassettes: C02022
Streptavidin CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots For Lateral Flow: AU2043
Streptavidin Europium Chelate Microspheres For Lateral Flow: AU2050
Streptavidin Colloidal Gold For Lateral Flow: AU2017

Product Info
The NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for the construction of high quality cell-free DNA (cfDNA) libraries using 1 ng to 50 ng of cell-free DNA as input. The kit has a simple work flow and a fast procedure. Multiplexing of the cell free DNA library is possible based on the index type.
NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
The main source of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is derived from apoptotic hematopoietic cells in blood and found in the plasma. The length of the cfDNA is about 150-200 bp in length. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) derived from malignant tumors is a part of cfDNA. Both cfDNA and ctDNA can be used as a noninvasive biomarker since it offers a better approach in comparison to invasive tissue biopsies.
NGS has been used for cfDNA and ctDNA sequencing in the field of liquid biopsy as it provides a whole genome level of molecular profiling. One of the hurdles for cfDNA sequencing is the difficulty of library preparation from the limited amount of cfDNA obtained from plasma. Our cell-free NGS kit makes it easy to get enough libraries from limited input in just 1.5 hours.
Three index types are available for the NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30029): Libraries do not have index.
Index(Cat.# 30031): Each of our index primers contains a unique 6-base index sequence that can be used for sample identification. Total 48 library multiplexing is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30033): Cell-free DNA library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible with the unique dual indexes. We have developed a Four-Base Difference Index System. The system have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8 bases index length. The primers effectively minimize sequencing errors such as mis-assignment, index hopping, index contamination etc. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34031).
Kit advantages:
Fast and simple protocol
Hands-on time is around 10 minutes
The total protocol time is only 1.5 hours
Easy procedure based on:
Ready-to-use master mix for easy setup of reactions
Less reaction components to simplify bench work
Less magnetic beads used for cleanup procedures: This can reduce more than 50% of the beads consumption
Guaranteed high library conversion efficiency
Low input cell-free DNA: From 1 ng to 50 ng
Comparison of library conversion efficiency with different samples under the same condition.
Comparison of library yield with different samples under the same condition.

The CellG3 assay reagent for the measurement of endo-cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) contains two components; 1) 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellotrioside (BCNPG3) and 2) thermostable β-glucosidase. The benzylidene blocking group prevents any hydrolytic action by the β-glucosidase on BCNPG3. Incubation with an endo-cellulase generates a non-blocked colourimetric oligosaccharide that is rapidly hydrolysed by the ancillary β-glucosidase. The rate of formation of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol is therefore directly related to the hydrolysis of BCNPG3 by the endo-cellulase. The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).
Please note that a new assay kit (K-CellG5) is now available for the measurement of endo-cellulase. The CellG5 reagent contains a cellopentaose core and exhibits vastly improved sensitivity for some cellulases. In addition, the exchange of the benzylidene blocking group in CellG3 for 3-keto-butylidene in CellG5 improves the substrate’s water solubility significantly, allowing for a reduction in the concentration of DMSO required in the assay. As DMSO is known to inhibit certain cellulases, this is another benefit in using CellG5. Megazyme now recommends the use of K-CellG5 for all assays for the measurement of endo-cellulase.
