Overview
Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry. S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulase-positive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology.
Staphylococcus aureus Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from cultured bacteria using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Staphylococcus aureus.
Upon receipt, store Norgen’s Staphylococcus aureus Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard at -20oC or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20oC or lower.

The K-LOLAC test kit offers a rapid, novel, sequential measurement of free-glucose and lactose in conventional, low-lactose and lactose-free dairy products. This sequential assay format reduces the manual input required by an analyst when compared to traditional lactose assay formats and therefore improves both accuracy and efficiency. When used in combination with the Megazyme Creep Calculator provided, the β-galactosidase employed in this kit allows for the selective measurement of lactose in the presence of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) which are commonly found in lactose-free dairy products. This constitutes a significant improvement over existing commercially available lactose assay kits which typically overestimate lactose content in lactose-free samples due to the unselective hydrolysis of GOS by β-galactosidase. Lastly, the sensitivity of the K-LOLAC assay kit has been doubled through the use of a cascade biochemical pathway, helping to significantly reduce the LOD and LOQ for the assay.

Cellulase Activity Assay Kit.
The CellG5 assay reagent for the measurement of endo-cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) contains two components; 1) 4,6-O-(3-Ketobutylidene)-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellopentaoside (BPNPG5) and 2) thermostable β-glucosidase. The ketone blocking group prevents any hydrolytic action by the β-glucosidase on BPNPG5. Incubation with an endo-cellulase generates a non-blocked colourimetric oligosaccharide that is rapidly hydrolysed by the ancillary β-glucosidase. The rate of formation of 4-nitrophenol is therefore directly related to the hydrolysis of BPNPG5 by the endo-cellulase. The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).
The CellG5 assay represents a huge step forward in the methodology for the measurement of cellulase that traditionally relied on substrates such as CM-cellulose, Avicel, cellooligosaccharides, filter paper or dyed polysaccharides including CMC Congo red or cellulose azure.

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.

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
High purity – purified plasmid can be directly used in sequencing, enzyme digestion and PCR, etc.
Fast – it takes only 80 minutes to complete the isolation
High yield – up to 15μg plasmid can be binded in one column
RNase A and MagPure Particles should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-termstorage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect its performance. Theremaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for atleast 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 whenused. If any precipitates form in the buffers,warm at 37℃ to dissolve. After addition of RNase A, Buffer P1 is stable for 6 months when stored at
