Detail
Screening of saxitoxin in shellfish samples as low as 50ppb in sample
Saxitoxins (STXs) are naturally occurring alkaloids produced by some marine dinoflagellates and by strains of various species of freshwater cyanobacteria. Saxitoxin is one of the prevalent paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). It belongs to a family of potent neurotoxins with a molecular weight around 300 Da. Saxitoxin and its derivatives are alkaloids composed of a tetrahydropurine ring system with a highly polar guanidinium group. Due to their significant toxicity, saxitoxins are closely monitored in marine environments where they can accumulate in the food chain during harmful algal blooms (HABs). An action level of 800ppb, or 80ug per 100grams of shellfish, has been established.

Introduction
This product is designed for purification of high-molecular-weight genomic or mitochondrial DNA from a variety of blood samples. High-quality DNA can be purified from sample types including whole blood, buffy coat, bone marrow, body fluids in as little as 25 minutes. The convenient, scalable purification procedure removes contaminants and enzyme inhibitors such as proteins and divalent cation, and purified DNA is ready for immediate use in sensitive downstream applications or for archiving.

Main Functions
Isolation total DNA from whole blood using economic salt out method
Cells are lysed with ananionic detergent in the presence of a DNA stabilizer. The DNA stabilizer limits the activity of intracellular DNases and also DNases found elsewhere in the environment. RNA is then removed by treatment with an RNA digesting enzyme. Other contaminants, such as proteins, are removed by salt precipitation. Finally, the genomic DNA is recovered by precipitation with alcohol and dissolved in Buffer TE. Purified DNA typically has an A260/A280 ratio between 1.7 and 1.9, and is up to 200 kb in size. The DNA can be safely stored at 2-8°C, -20°C, or -80°C.
Advantages
Safe – without phenol chloroform extraction
Environment friendly – the reagents used are safe, non-toxic and without pollution
High molecular weight – the molecular weight of genomic DNA is about 50-150kb
High purity – the purified DNA has A260/280=1.8-1.9, A260/230=2.0-2.5
Unlimited sample size – solution type operation, sample volume can be adjusted at will
Cost performance – the most economical nucleic acid extraction technology

Storage and Stability
RNase Solution 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 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 these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

A device that uses the principle of high-frequency oscillation to generate heat through the friction of molecules in PVC hoses, thereby melting the PVC hose and achieving the sealing effect. This device is also referred to as a pipe sealing machine in some places.
