Overview
Detection kits for Campylobacter jejuni
Available in TaqMan format for analysis.
Campylobacter jejuni is a curved, rod-shaped and microaerophillic gram negative bacterium. It is one of the most common causal agents of gastroenteritis with diarrhea as the main symptom. While infection of C. jejuni is seldom life-threatening, it is considered one of the most common food-borne bacteria with over 2 million people infected per year in US alone. Infection of C. jejuni usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly poultry), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk. Traditional identification of C. jejuni involves culturing, however the microaerophilic characteristic of this bacterium make the enrichment process laborious and costly.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability 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.
AZscript™ Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase used to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template.
While originating from Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV), AZscript RT has been engineered for increased thermostability and reduced RNase H activity.
In cDNA synthesis a higher reaction temperature can reduce RNA secondary structures and improve efficiency and specificity of the reaction.
Furthermore, a reduction in RNase H activity increases performance of the cDNA synthesis, especially for longer transcripts.
The combination of these tailored features ensures that AZscript Reverse Transcriptase provides an effective and reliable solution for various cDNA synthesis applications.
Key Features
Increased thermostability.
Reduced RNase H activity.
Applications
cDNA synthesis
Demonstrated performance in RT-qPCR

AZscript™ Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase used to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template.
Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use solution that contains components required for RT-PCR amplification of RNA templates. The mix includes M-MuLV reverse transcriptase, Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, reaction buffer, MgCl2, KCl, and a PCR enhancer/stabilizer. The user needs only to add the template, the primer set and water to the Master Mix to set up the RT-PCR reaction. This convenient 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix reduces the time required to set up PCR reactions and reduces the possibility of contamination, particularly when preparing large numbers of reactions. The optimized master mix allows for robust amplification of RNA templates with high yields of PCR products.
Taq DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase that possesses a 5´→ 3´ polymerase activity and a very low 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity. The source of Taq included with Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is an E. coli strain with a cloned Taq DNA Polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus YT-1. M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA-directed DNA polymerase that can synthesize a complementary DNA strand initiating from a primer using either RNA (cDNA synthesis) or single-stranded DNA as a template. The source of the Reverse Transcriptase included with Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is an E. coli strain with a cloned reverse transcriptase gene from M-MuLV.
Norgen’s 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix is available in 3 convenient sizes:
Cat # 28113 – 100 reactions (sufficient for 100 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume) Cat # 28114 – 200 reactions (sufficient for 200 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume) Cat # 28115 – 500 reactions (sufficient for 500 reactions x 20 µL reaction volume)
2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix (1 Vials, 100 Reactions) – Sufficient reagent for 100 x 20 µL reactions
Storage Conditions and Product Stability 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix should be stored at -20°C. For everyday use an aliquot can be stored at 4°C for up to 3 months. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles are not recommended. When stored at the proper temperature this reagent is stable for at least 1 year.
