Overview

DMSO resistant peelable heat sealing foil which is suitable for low temperature storage, high temperature uses and PCR testing.

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
• Our PeelASeal Foil Super is a laminate seal compatible with all plate types
• It can be removed by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage
• PeelASeal Foil Super forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR
• The seal demonstrates high solvent resistance (including DMSO) and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature
• The seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
• Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

IST-114 PeelASeal Foil SuperTM Heat Sealing Film

Introduction

Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular DNA fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp (DNA). HiPure Circulating DNA Midi Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. The extracted products can be used for clinical in vitro detection.

Principle

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 protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Advantages

• High yield – most optimal process, free DNA (>50bp) can be obtained to the maximum extent
• High concentration – low elution volume, ensuring high nucleic acid concentration
• High purity – low alcohol binding method, completely removing inhibitor and protein pollution
• High recovery – DNA can be recovered at thelevel of PG by silica gel column purification

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, Carrier RNA should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their 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.

Overview

• Detection kits for the BKV/JCV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.
