N-(Boc-PEG3)-N-bis-(PEG3-Amino-Tri-(Propargyl-PEG2-ethoxymethyl)-methane)

Overview

• Detection kit for Toxoplasma gondii
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled organism which causes Toxoplasmosis, the most common parasitic infection worldwide affecting animals as well as humans. Cats are the only animal in which sexual reproduction of the organism occurs, and for this reason cats are the only domestic animal which has the potential to shed T. gondii eggs. When disease does occur, it may develop following primary infection due to an inadequate immune response to stop the invasive tachyzoites or as a result of a reactivated infection due to a compromised immune system. The most common symptoms of the disease are anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, dyspnea, ocular symptoms and pyrexia. As toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to humans it represents a serious health risk for people living in close contact with infected animals. Infection is especially dangerous for people with suppressed immune systems and cancer patients as well as pregnant women.

Storage Conditions

All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

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.

Overview

• Ensure the stability and viability of viruses, chlamydia, and mycoplasma.
• Manufactured based on CDC formula.
• Antimicrobic blend suppresses bacterial and fungal contamination.
• Supplied in bulk (1 Litre) to provide options for custom applications.
• Preserve swab samples for up to 48h when preserved at 2–8°C.

Norgen’s Viral Transport Medium is formulated to transport samples that are presumably infected with a virus. Viral Transport Medium is manufactured based on CDC formula and is offered in bulk to provide an option to readily assemble swab collection devices for sample collection.

Norgen’s Viral Transport Medium (VTM) is designed for safe and efficient transport of viral samples, including but not limited to those from nasal, throat, and other swabs. The VTM contains a balanced mix of Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), gentamicin sulfate, and amphotericin B to preserve the viability of viruses and prevent the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi. The medium ensures the stability and viability of viruses, chlamydia, and mycoplasma for analysis using different techniques. In addition, the Viral Transport Medium eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples.
