Exceptional value for money Rapid detection of all clinically relevant subtypes Positive copy number standard curve for quantification Highly specific detection profile High priming efficiency Broad dynamic detection range (>6 logs) Sensitive to < 100 copies of target
Accurate controls to confirm findings
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.

Overview
Detection kits for H5N1
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Influenza virus infection of birds, humans and other animals is a major public health problem worldwide. Influenza viruses are classified as either type A, B or C based on differences in their nucleoproteins and matrix proteins. The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease and epidemics. The different types can be further classified into subtypes based on antigenic differences in two surface glycoproteins; hemagglutinin and neuroamidase. All known subtypes of influenza A can be found in birds (H1-H16, N1-N9), while a limited number of the subtypes have been found in humans (H1-H3, N1 and N2). However, over the past few years, various subtypes of Influenza A viruses, including H5N1, have been reported to infect humans (WHO, 2006). In addition, the coexistence of human influenza viruses and avian influenza viruses may provide an opportunity for genetic material to be exchanged between these viruses. This could potentially create a new virulent influenza strain that is easily transmissible and lethal to humans (Food Safety Research Information Office, 2006). Thus, there is the need for sensitive diagnostic tests to allow for the rapid and early detection of these H5 influenza virus infections, to help reduce the risk of epidemics or pandemics in both animals and humans.

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.
Convenient – With the ready-to-use Master Mix, the user needs only to add template to the master mix and enzyme in order to set up the reverse transcriptase reaction
Time Savings – Set up RT reactions in a shorter time since less pipetting steps are required
Cost Efficient – No need to buy separate enzymes, dNTPs and buffers. All are included with the ready-to-use Master Mix kits
High Sensitivity and Yield – the optimized Master Mix allows for highly sensitive amplifications with high yields of PCR products
Robust Enzyme – broad range of working temperatures from 37°C to 60°C. Capable of amplifying difficult templates with a high degree of reproducibility
TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is Available in Three Convenient Formats:
This kit contains 5X RT Buffer and a vial of TruScript Enzyme Mix (200 units/µL). This enzyme can be used for reverse-transcription reactions with any user-supplied primers.
2. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat.#54420)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of total RNA (both poly A- or non-poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and primers (oligo dT and random hexamers) for effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts.
3. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for mRNA (Cat.#54400)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of messenger RNA (poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and oligo dT primer for the effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts or enriched mRNA sample.
