RNA into DNA and PCR in one step? Then, this enzyme will simplify PCR analysis from RNA templates reducing labor and time. RT-KTQ2 was evolved from the thermostable KlenTaq DNA polymerase with no significant reverse transcriptase activity. Four mutations ensure that the variant is reverse transcriptase active and even PCR active, while maintaining the thermostability. This allows to perform reactions at high temperatures minimizing problems encountered with strong secondary structures in RNA that melt at elevated temperatures. For further information refer to the original publication.

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.
Norgen’s Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit is designed for the detection of Legionella sp. specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan technology. This kit is designed for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. The detection of Legionella sp. specific DNA is based on TaqMan PCR providing a simple, reliable and rapid result for the detection of Legionella sp. infection. Norgen’s Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit includes a PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition, and to validate the quality of the sample and the detection result. The Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit comprises Master Mix for the target and PCR control detection, Primer & Probe Mix, as well as a positive control and a negative control (nuclease-free water) to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents.

For the rapid detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria.
Principle:
Peptone and yeast extract powder provides carbon and nitrogen sources and trace elements; sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium; agar as medium coagulant; dodecyl sulfate inhibit Gram-positive bacteria; chromogenic substrate and large intestine flora β- galactosidase-glucosidase specific reaction, hydrolysis of the substrate, the release of the color groups produce green colonies on the light yellow plate.
Formulation (per liter):
Peptone :10g
Yeast extract powder: 3g
sodium chloride:5g
sodium lauryl sulfate:0.1g
Agar :12g
Chromogenic substrate 2.7g
Final pH 7.0 ± 0.2
How to use:
1. Weigh 32.8g of this product, adding 1L of distilled or deionized water , heated to boiling stirring until completely dissolved, dispensing into flask without autoclaving.
2,Take 25g or 25mL of sample with aseptic procedures, added to the flask containing 225mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline (or saline) is shaken thoroughly homogenized with a homogenizer or a 1:10 dilution 1min, then 1:10 dilution continue to select the appropriate serial dilutions of three, two plates each dilution was inoculated.
3, the use of pour method: The medium is cooled in a water bath to about 50 , sterilized petri dish having a diameter 90mm, 1ml samples were inoculated per dish, then poured into about 15ml of the above dissolution medium, and mix to solidify, upside down, 37 for 24 hours.
4, using surface inoculation: cooled to about 50 , shake devoted to the medium in sterile petri dish. Can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or stored at room temperature for several days (dark, 4 ). The sample was streaked method or filter method, 37 for 24 hours.
5, observe the results.
Quality control:
This product appear light yellow after pouring into plate, these strains were inoculated after 36 ± 1 18 ~ 24h culture growth in the following table.
Growth of bacteria were cultured bacteria numbers feature
Escherichia coli ATCC25922 good green colonies
Citrobacter ATCC8090 good green colonies
