Norovirus is a single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Caliciviridae family. Norovirus is considered the major causative agent of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. The main channel of transmittance is via contaminated food or water, as well as human-to-human contact. Most Noroviruses infecting humans belong to genogroup I and II (particularly genotype 4). Norovirus is very stable in the environment and is resistant to some surface disinfectants such as alcohols and detergents. Moreover, it is very difficult to culture Norovirus in vitro, making its identification by standard microbiological assays challenging.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.

Overview

• Detection kits for Giardia intestinalis
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis.

Giardiasis is a disease of the small bowel caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (syn.duodenalis or lamblia). Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites in the world, and occurs at very high prevalence rates in places with poor water sanitation. Individuals become infected through ingesting or coming into contact with contaminated water, food or soil. It can also be spread through the faecal-oral route due to poor hygiene practices, which makes it common in day-care centers. G. intestinalis lives inside the intestines of infected humans or other animals including cats, dogs, birds, cows, beaver and deer. Symptoms of infection include diarrhea, malaise, excessive gas, bloating, nausea, diminished interest in food, possible vomiting and weight loss.

There are 2 kits available for the detection of Giardia intestinalis:

Introduction

The MagPure Plasmid purification system uses the paramagnetic bead technology for high-throughput preparation of high-copy or low-copy plasmid DNA from E. coli cells. This kit also can be used with fosmid and BAC vector-based constructs. The system uses alkaline lysis followed by a MagPure purification to differentially bind plasmid DNA to paramagnetic beads. While the DNA is bound to the beads, contaminants can be rinsed away using a simple washing procedure. Because MagPure uses magnetic separation technology, the protocol does not require vacuum filtration. This makes kit extremely amenable to automation. Plasmid DNA purified with this system is most commonly used in Sanger Sequencing and PCR amplification.

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Isolation up to 20µg plasmid DNA from 1-3ml bacterial culture
Applications	Enzyme digestion, sequencing, PCR and labeling,  etc.
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Sample type	Conventional plasmid, plasmid≤30KB
Sample amount	1-3ml
Elution volume	≥50μl

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Lysozyme. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA 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 DNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

1. Suitable for extracting plasmids from 1-5ml or <3ml YT medium.
2. The same amount of buffer 1, 2, and 3 avoids errors caused by adjusting the pipette, making it convenient to use in conjunction with automated workstations.
3. Containing buffer 1 for washing, reducing the problem of false high production.
4. The purified plasmid can be directly used for sequencing, enzyme digestion, PCR, and other applications.

MagPure Particle NB*	2.2 ml	11 ml	2 x 60 ml

Storage and Stability

RNase A and MagPure Particle NB should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. After addition of RNase A, Buffer P1 is stable for 6 months when stored at 2-8°C.
