Quantitative Synthetic Cryptosporidium hominis DNA

PRA-3011SD

Quantitative Synthetic Cryptosporidium hominis DNA can be used for assay development, verification, and validation as well as 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) to determine protozoan load. Preparation includes fragments from 18s rRNA, heat shock protein 70 (hsp70), COWP, GP60, dnaJ-like protein, and LIB13 regions.

These products are vital for the proper use of this item and have been confirmed as effective in supporting functionality. If you use alternative products, the quality and effectiveness of the item may be affected.

Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
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) to determine protozoan load.

Characteristics

Genetic target
Preparation includes fragments from 18s rRNA, heat shock protein 70 (hsp70), COWP, GP60, dnaJ-like protein, and LIB13 regions.
Comments
Manufactured under ISO 13485 guidance

Handling information

Handling procedure
  1. Thaw the vial on ice. Avoid exposing the synthetic DNA to repeated freeze-thaw cycles as it may result in degradation of the DNA and variation in copy number.
  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
Aliquoting is highly recommended to avoid multiple freeze-thaws, which can damage the synthetic DNA. This construct is synthetically derived and therefore does not contain any viable material and cannot replicate.

The following primers and probe can be used with this nucleic acid preparation.
Forward primer (5’ to 3’): CAAATTGATACCGTTTGTCCTTCTG
Reverse primer (5’ to 3’): GGCATGTCGATTCTAATTCAGCT
Probe (5’ to 3’): /5HEX/TGCCATACATTGTTGTCCTGACAAATTGAAT/3BHQ_1
