Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V1-V2 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V1-V2 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.

Name of Product

HIT – Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Test (20)

Catalog Number

MQHIT 1

Short Info

Lateral Flow Assay designed for the detection of IgG antibodies against PF4/polyanion-complexes in human citrated plasma or Serum

This product is only available in Germany!

Method/Platform

lateral flow, immunoassay

Range/Assay Sensivity

Test Principle

IgG antibodies are resposible for the heparin induced thrombocytopenia.

Immobilized anti-human IgG on the membrane of the test unit binds patients IgG-antibodies which are previously captured by the PF4/polyanion-complex which is detected by intensely colored gold nanoparticles.

The presence of PF4/polyanion-complex becomes visible at a colored test line. The surplus of gold particles continues to migrate through the membrane and is captured at the control line by specific antibodies.

Description

Not all cyanobacterial strains produce toxins. However, the toxin-producing strains cannot be distinguished from the nontoxin-producing strains by traditional light microscopy, commonly
used to monitor water bodies.  An alternative for the differentiation of potentially toxic strains from nontoxic strains is to use molecular methods to detect the presence of toxin biosynthetic genes. Such methods are already available and could be used for the detection and identification of potential microcystin and nodularin producers present in environmental samples (Attogene catalog number NA2024).

Screening for the toxin itself, can be very costly.  In turn, real time PCR for the detection of the anaC gene in cyanobacterial strains and environmental samples can be a key indicator for the prescense of cyanobacteria capable of expressing the Anatoxin toxin.  Attogen has thus, designed primer pairs and probes targeting a the conserved anaC gene region in order to enable the amplification and detection of several producer genera using real time PCR.  Screening for the toxin genes can save significant costs and act as a triage for samples needing to be analyzed for the toxin itself.
