Different-sized amplicons from 3 ng of a DNA plasmid were amplified. The use of Taq DNA polymerase resulted in clean and high yield of products, as analysed after PCR on a 0.8% agarose gel.
A fragment (64 bp) of the human blood-coagulation factor IIa (F2) was amplified from 20 ng, 2 ng, 200 pg and 20 pg of a human genomic DNA extract. The same experiment was performed in parallel using the Taq DNA polymerase mix from another well-established and known supplier. PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel.
Non-specific amplification is prevented by using this Taq DNA polymerase variant as the DNA polymerase is hotstart-formulated. The 10x reaction buffer supplied together with the DNA polymerase has been specifically designed for optimal PCR performance and DNA polymerase activity. This allows the use of this DNA polymerase in a wide range of PCR applications.
Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) is a biomimetic in-situ water monitoring tool that falls under an expanding umbrella of passive samplers. It serves to warn researchers of toxin-producing harmful algal bloom (HAB) developments early on. It has been popularized through its affordability, ease of use, and its ability to capture ephemeral events in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. Its uptake of contaminants has been shown to be more similar than other sampling methods to that of aquatic species like bivalves, mussels, and clams. It provides an average bioavailable fraction of a toxin over deployment time that can be used to determine an overall toxin risk to organisms. The sampling period typically depends on the bioactivity at a site, ranging from 24 hours to 4 weeks in most cases.
A SPATT passively absorbs and desorbs extracellular compounds over its stretch of time at a sampling site; in an organism, a toxin would go through biochemical detoxification processes. Passive samplers have a higher sensitivity for more compounds and provide improved stability and preservation of these compounds within the resin. SPATT devices capture less commonly detected cyanotoxins (e.g. cylindrospermopsin) at lower concentrations than that of a grab sample (collected at one point in time). Grab samples are limited in scope and sensitivity, and underrepresent toxins like microcystin-LR, which is picked up very reliably through SPATT technology.
Uses HP20 that is widely applicable for many toxins.
