Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
Quantitative Babesia microti Genomic DNA is total DNA isolated from hamsters infected with the organism Babesia microti.

ATCC® Genuine Nucleics can be used for assay development, verification, validation, monitoring of day to day test variation and lot to lot performance of molecular-based assays. The quantitative format allows for the generation of a standard curve for quantitative PCR (qPCR).

Characteristics

Comments
This preparation of high molecular weight DNA is appropriate for use in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)* process and other molecular biology applications.
*The PCR process is covered by patents owned by Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. Use of the PCR process requires a license.

Handling information

Handling procedure
  1. Thaw the vial at room temperature and immediately place on ice.  
  2. Gently mix the sample to ensure an even distribution of material.
  3. Briefly centrifuge the tube before opening to ensure all liquid is at the bottom.
Handling notes
Aliquotting is highly recommended to avoid multiple freeze-thaws.

Quality control specifications

Purity (A260/A280)
1.6 to 2.1
Integrity
Integrity of DNA was determined by electrophoresis on a 1.2% agarose gel stained with nucleic acid stain, and was found to be intact and of high molecular weight.
Functional tests
Functional activity was confirmed by PCR amplification of B. microti ITS1, 5.8S rRNA, ITS2.
Identity
Identity confirmed by sequencing of ITS1, 5.8S rRNA, ITS2.
