Portable Low Speed Centrifuge 

Overview

• Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
• Vigorously quantified using multiple methods

Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry. S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulase-positive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology.

Staphylococcus aureus Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from cultured bacteria using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Staphylococcus aureus.

Upon receipt, store Norgen’s Staphylococcus aureus Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard at -20^oC or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20^oC or lower.

Overview

• CE-IVD marked in accordance with EU Directive 98/79/EC
• Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
• Unlike other methods, Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit (Slurry Method) does not require any additional urine concentrating devices
• Fast processing time
• Purify both genomic and apoptotic DNA with one protocol
• Isolate DNA from 3 mL to 25 mL of urine
• Allows for purification of viral DNA from urine also
• Available in Spin Column and 96-well format

This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 3 mL to 25 mL. Both high molecular weight DNA (greater than 1 kb in size; mostly cell associated) and the smaller DNA (150 – 250 bp; derived from the circulation) is effectively isolated and purified with a rapid and convenient spin column protocol. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes. Salts, metabolic wastes, proteins and other contaminants are removed to yield inhibitor-free DNA for use in sensitive applications such as PCR, qPCR, DNA fingerprinting, methylation studies and more. This kit can also be used to isolate DNA from a broad range of viruses. 

This kit is fully compatible with Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes.

Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit Dx (Slurry Format) does not provide a diagnostic result. It is the sole responsibility of the user to use and validate the kit in conjunction with a downstream in vitro diagnostic assay.

NOTE: This product is not available for sale in the United States.

Overview

• Detection kits for the HBV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is mainly transmitted via blood or blood products. In addition, sexual, oral and perinatal infections are also possible. Early symptoms of the infection include appetite loss, vomiting and abdominal symptoms, with approximately 10-20% of those patients developing fever as well as rheumatoid joint and muscle pain. Jaundice, which may be accompanied by itching, will then develop within 2-14 days. Fulminant hepatitis then occurs in about 1% of all infected patients, which in severe cases may be fatal. Of those individuals infected by HBV, 5-10% will develop chronic liver inflammation which may progress to cirrhosis of the liver or, in the worst case, primary liver cell carcinoma. The HBV virus is a hepadnavirus that has a circular genome composed of partially double-stranded DNA.
