Description

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Overview

• Detection kits for HIV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which destroys essential cells in the human immune system, such as CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of T cell), macrophages and dendritic cells. Infection with HIV therefore leads to an impaired immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic cancers and infections. Due to the mutating nature of HIV and damage to the T cells, the immune system is unable to fight off infections and disease. Without treatment, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The rate of HIV progression to AIDS depends on a number of different factors including viral, host and environmental factors. However, with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals with HIV will never progress to AIDS, having near normal life expectancy.   Transmission of HIV is through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, either sexually; by the sharing of blood-contaminated needles or instruments; maternally through childbirth or breastfeeding; or via blood transfusion/organ transplant.

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.

Introduction

This kit is designed to rich and extract 100bp-500bp circulating DNA from 5 ml cell-free body fluids (such asplasma, serum), and remove fragments above 500bp. Machine reaction only takes 90 minutes. Magnetic-particle technology provides high-quality DNA that is suitable for direct use in downstream applications such as PCR and next generation sequencing.

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 Protease. 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

• Economy – less than 50% of the price of Qiagen and other imported products
• Automatic – without labour

Storage and Stability

MagPure Particles G, MagBind Particles and Proteinase K should bestored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at roomtemperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months underthese 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.
