Description

What is the genesig q16?
The genesig q16 is a revolutionary instrument launched by Primerdesign Ltd. The instrument is designed to accompany the genesig Easy product range which includes kits for more than 550 different DNA testing applications. The genesig q16 is designed to make DNA testing affordable and easy for anyone in any business.

What is DNA testing?
DNA testing is the most sensitive and precise way to detect and quantify the presence of a DNA target. The underlying technology within the genesig q16 is real-time quantitative PCR.  The technology has been around for 20 years, but to date has been complex and expensive to perform. The genesig q16 changes all that.

What can I use it for?
The genesig Easy product range includes tests for a massive range of applications:

Incredibly easy to use
Automated data analysis
Robust, beautiful design
Small and portable: 12cm footprint
Over 550 kits available from a vast range of human, food and veterinary detection profiles
Highly portable

Magnetic Beads (microRNA & Oligo Purification)

Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads are often used for DNA purification because they are simple, fast, and effective. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, Standard SPRI beads can only purify DNA/RNA fragments that are 100 base pairs or longer. DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered by SPRI beads. We have developed Magnetic Beads (microRNA & Oligo Purification) to solve the problem.

With our proprietary beads technology, the beads overcomes the hurdle of the short DNA/RNA recovery problem. The magnetic beads is ideal for microRNA purification, oligo purification, short DNA/RNA purification, and removing impurities and unwanted components such as dNTPs, detergents, salts, proteins, and other contaminants effectively. The magnetic bead reagents are RNase-free and can be used for both DNA and RNA applications.

Our magnetic beads are optimized for microRNA purification, oligo purification, and DNA/RNA purification. The fragments can be as short as 20 bases, such as microRNA, tRNA, dsDNA fragments 20 bp or longer, ssDNA fragments 20 nt or longer, RNA fragments 20 nt or longer, DNA/RNA hybrid fragments 20 bp or longer, and oligos and chimeric oligos 20 nt or longer. Purified short DNA and RNA fragments are ideal for applications requiring high-quality fragments, as the fragments are free of impurities and contaminants.

Comparison of short DNA fragments recovery. BioDynami 20 bp DNA ladder (Cat. # 10002) was used as DNA input. Ampure XP beads, BioDynami beads (DNA & RNA purification) and BioDynami beads (microRNA & Oligo purification) were tested. Only BioDynami beads (microRNA & Oligo purification) successfully recovered DNA fragments between 20-100 bp.

Recovery of DNA and RNA oligos with BioDynami magnetic Beads (microRNA & Oligo Purification). 20 nt of DNA oligos and RNA oligos were used as input. Input and recovered oligos were quantified with BioDynami ssDNA Quantification kit (Cat. # 40043) and BioDynami RNA Quantification kit (Cat. # 40044).

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.
