• Detection kits for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogenic bacterial species belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, and is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (TB) is a multifaceted disease and challenging public health problem in both industrialized and developing countries. According to the WHO, 8.8 million active cases of TB are diagnosed each year and of these, almost 2 million die. Once thought to be under control or even close to extinction, TB infection levels are rising and the threat is compounded by new, virulent and drug-resistant strains. Although most cases occur in the developing world (22 countries accounting for 80% of all global cases), increasing population mobility combined with facility of transmission means that no country is immune from the resurgence of TB. TB control programs are currently facing a number of constraints. Worldwide, fewer than 25% of all tuberculosis cases are detected. Of utmost concern is the absence of a timely and accurate test for the diagnosis of mycobacterial disease. Early diagnosis is crucial for the prevention of further spread of the disease.

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.

endo-BCN-PEG8-PFP ester is a PEG linker featuring a BCN group and a PFP ester. BCN is a click chemistry handle used to react with azides on target molecules while the PFP is a good leaving group which is readily displaced by amines to form amides.

Introduction

HiPure Soil RNA Kit is suitable for extracting high-purity microbial total RNA from soil samples. The kit adopts silica gel column purification technology and original humic acid adsorbent technology. It is suitable for extracting high-yield and high-purity total RNA from various soil samples, such as forest soil, grassland soil, mining soil, sediment and so on. The obtained RNA can be directly used in RT-PCR, Northern blot, poly-A + purification, nucleic acid protection and in vitro translation.

Principle

Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – extraction of several samples can be completed in 60 minutes by column purification method
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG

Storage and Stability

Buffer PHC 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 theseconditions.The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolvedbefore use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
