Name of Product

Aspergillus Antigen
(Galactomannan) – Rapid Test

Catalog Number

ASP-025

Short Info

This Rapid Test is for the detection of specific Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen in Serum or Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL).

This product is manufactured by GaDia Diagnostics in Switzerland and distributed in Germany exclusively by Milenia Biotec.

Method/Platform

Immunochromatographic Rapid Test

Range/Assay Sensivity

Test Principle

The principle of the test is colloidal gold immunochromatography. If the sample is positive, the antigens in the sample react with the red-colored nanoparticles and form a complex (Antigen – anti-Aspergillus monoclonal antibodies – gold nanoparticles), which was previously pre-dried on the conjugate pad. The mixture then moves upward on the membrane by capillary action. As the sample flows through the test membrane, the binding conjugate complexes migrate. The anti-Aspergillus antibodies present on the membrane (Test Line) capture the colored conjugate complex and a red line will appear.

This product is based on silica Column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while proteinis not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins andother impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mmTris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• Good repeatability – suitable for extracting high-yield DNA from different types of tissue samples
• High purity – can be used for downstream applications such as multiplex and quantitative PCR
• Fast – simplified process, extracting several samples in 20 minutes (after digestion)
• Safety – no phenol orchloroform extraction, no alcohol precipitation

Storage and Stability

RNase A and Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Description 

Q-PAGE™ TGN (Tris-Glycine Novel) Precast Gels are ready-to-use acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE running in Tris-Glycine buffer system. With unique formula, Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels perform enhanced speed, better separation, and longer shelf life as compared with conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. The protein migration patterns in Q-PAGE™ TGN series, however, are similar with typical Laemmli Tris-HCl gels, and thus Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are compatible to traditional SDS-PAGE and subsequent analyses. 

Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 15%) and fixed (10%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12- and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP4XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP5XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems. 

Key Features

• User-friendly gel cassette:
  • Numbered and framed wells for sample loading
  • Labeled warning sign and green tape as reminder
• Enhanced gel performance: 
  • Enhanced gel electrophoresis speed 
  • Better band separation, equivalent to commercially 4-20% TG gels  
  • Stable for shipping at ambient temperature
• Easy compatibility: 
  • Available as homogeneous and adjusted gradient gels for a wide range of protein separation.
  • Compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems 

Storage and stability

Store Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels at 4°C for periods up to 12 months.

Do not freeze Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels. Remove tape and comb before electrophoresis. 

Keep Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels flat during storage.
