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.

Introduction

HiPure FFPE Nucleic acid Kit supplies a simple and rapid DNA extraction for Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and sections samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology, no phenol-chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction only takes 20 minutes (not including digestion time). DNA can be directly used for downstream applications such as PCR, southern blot and viral DNA detection, etc.

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Isolation total DNA from FFPE tissue samples
Applications	PCR, Southern Blot and viral DNA detection, etc.
Purification method	Mini spin column
Purification technology	Silica technology
Process method	Manual (centrifugation or vacuum)
Sample type	Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and sections samples
Sample amount	<20mg
Elution volume	>15µl
Time per run	≤20 minutes
Liquid carrying volume per column	4ml

Principle

Hipure FFPE Nuclear acid kit adopts silica gel column purification. The sample is deparaffinated by xylene and digested by lysate and protease. After decrosslinked at 90 ℃, DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. Adding ethanol to adjust the binding conditions, the sample is transferred to the column where DNA/RNA is adsorbed on the membrane and protein is removed without adsorption. Protein and other impurities are washed by buffer GW1, and the salt is removed by buffer GW2. Finally, the DNA / RNA is eluted by low salt buffer.

Advantages

• Safety – deparaffinating without contacting with xylene or other toxic solution
• Fast – without overnight incubation and digestion, several samples can be extracted within 2hours
• High efficiency – remove the formaldehyde modification of DNA, greatly enhancing the sensitivity of PCR
• High yield – most optimal process to ensure the highest recovery
• High recovery – silica gel column purification method can recover nucleic acid at the level of PG

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K 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 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.

Introduction

The kit offers the unique feature to isolate total RNA including small RNA and DNA from serum and plasma without the need to resort to the cumbersome phenol/chloroform extraction or a time consuming proteinase digest. RNA purified using the kit is ready for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Applications	RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, second generation sequencing
Purification method	Polydisperse magnetic beads
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Adaptive instrument	Nucleic acid extractor, pipetting workstation
Sample type	Serum, plasma, acellular samples
Sample amount	300μl

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample material is denatured in Lysis Buffer. The protein is then precipitated by Protein Precipitation Solution and pelleted by centrifugation. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption.The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally RNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 60 minutes by column method
