Overview

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective.

Our Individual Access Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates, featuring 96 individual foil seal spots or 12 strips of individual spots on a removable backing.

These seals result in individually sealed tubes/strips, and they can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.

Individual Access Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid).

The seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.

This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter).

Description

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.

Overview

• Rapid AAV DNA extraction and quantification can be completed in 2 hours 
• Universal qPCR assay targeting the AAV2 ITR enables quantification of most AAV vector constructs
• Purified DNA standard enables easy comparison of data between different lab groups
• Non-plasmid based standard prevents quantification artifacts due to insufficient melting of plasmid sequences
• DNAse digestion step aids in eliminating non-viral DNA
• Minimal sample handling for maximum AAV DNA recovery

Norgen’s AAV Quantification Kit is designed for the detection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan® technology. A purified standard based solely on the AAV2 ITR sequence purified using Norgen’s proprietary silicon carbide technology simplifies the generation of a reliable standard curve for AAV quantification. Avoidance of a plasmid based standard eliminates problems associated with efficient melting of the ITR sequence due to coupling of the ITR to the much longer plasmid sequence, as well as variability due to rearrangements/duplications/deletions of the recombination prone ITR. An easy and rapid method for viral DNA extraction simplifies the step of obtaining AAV DNA while simultaneously eliminating contaminating non-encapsidated DNA.  Norgen’s AAV Quantification Kit can facilitate pre-clinical studies that require accurate vector titration as well as interlab comparisons of vector quantities. This kit is designed for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
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. All reagents can be stored for 1 year at -20°C without showing any reduction in performance.
