Actin is part of the cytoskeletal system of all cell types. Smooth Muscle Actin is found in myofibroblasts and myoepithelium, but not in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Labelling of smooth muscle actin in concert with muscle specific actin staining can allow for differentiation between rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, as Muscle specific actin is found in rhabdomyoblasts, while smooth muscle actin is found in leiomyosarcomas.
Attogene Fluorescent UniversalLateral Flow Assay Kits are a convenient ready-to-use kit for quick and cost-effective development of a fluorescent lateral flow dipstick assay for detection of DNA and RNA products.
Fluorescent lateral flow assays can be 2-100 fold more sensitive that gold based lateral flow tests.
Formats (fluorescent broad range UV light excitation range of 100nm to 400nm, 655nm emission) Streptavidin conjugate pad):
• Detectable using a black light such as a black light UV flashlight or fluorescent lateral flow reader.
• Detection of nucleic Acid (DNA or RNA) requires the use of a biotin and FAM-labelled primer during amplification.
• Test line: anti-FITC/FAM
• Control Line: Biotin
• Multiplex detection of nucleic Acid (DNA or RNA) requires the use of a biotin, FAM and Dig labelled primers during amplification.:
• Test Line #1: anti FITC/FAM, Line #2: anti-Dig, Line #3 Biotin.
For example, this product can be configured with alternative/custom streptavidin fluorescent particles.

The D-Glucose HK (Regular) test kit is a high purity reagent for the measurement and analysis of D-glucose in plant and food products. Can be used in combination with other Megazyme’s products that require glucose determination.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
