Highlights

Detection threshold:  13,9 IU/ml, with 95% probability

HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) is a dangerous virus that causes the disease of hepatitis B in humans. HBV is the second leading cause of cancer after smoking and is responsible for 60-80% of primary liver cancer cases and 50% of cases of cirrhosis. It is estimated that over 2 billion people worldwide have been or are currently infected with HBV, with approximately 400 million people being HBV carriers, of which 75% are from Asia. Every year, nearly 1 million people die from HBV-related illnesses such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Currently, HBV-DNA quantification is one of the important tests for evaluating the effectiveness of hepatitis B treatment and supporting physicians in deciding on treatment protocols.

Application

GeneProof Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) PCR Kit uses state-of-the-art PCR to detect HBV viral DNA present in specimens

Specifications

▶

Detection target: HBV gennotype A-H, precore mutants HBV (HBeAg negative)
Detection threshold: 13,9 IU/ml, with 95% probability

▶

Based on DNA amplification reaction by PCR reaction with primers designed specifically for HBV DNA sequence, using “hot start” technology to minimize non-specific binding, bringing test results with high accuracy.

The kit includes internal control samples: Control of PCR inhibition and quality of DNA extraction
Master mix contains uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG), which minimizes the possibility of cross-contamination during experiments.

DNA/RNA Shield Fecal Collection Kit

The Individual Fecal Collection Kit is a conveniently pouched kit that includes all the components needed for collecting and stabilizing fecal samples. This kit includes a Fecal Collection Tube, a Feces Catcher, a Biohazard Bag, Gloves, and multi-language instructions. Featuring DNA/RNA Shield technology, samples collected with the Fecal Collection Tube are accurately and safely preserved for downstream analysis.

ZymoBIOMICS DNA/RNA Miniprep Kit

The ZymoBIOMICS DNA/RNA Miniprep Kit is designed for purifying DNA and RNA from a wide array of sample inputs (e.g. feces, soil, plant, water, and biofilms) that is ready for microbiome or metagenome analyses. The ZymoBIOMICS innovative lysis system eliminates bias associated with unequal lysis efficiencies of different organisms (e.g. Gram-negative/positive bacteria, fungus, protozoans, and algae). The provided DNA/RNA Shield preserves nucleic acids at ambient temperatures, providing an unbiased molecular snapshot of the sample. The procedure uses Zymo-Spin Column technology that results in high-quality DNA and total RNA (including small RNAs 17-200 nt) that is free of PCR inhibitors (e.g. polyphenols, humic acids, and fulvic acids). Ready for RT-PCR, arrays, sequencing, etc.

ZymoBIOMICS Fecal Reference with TruMatrix™ Technology

The ZymoBIOMICS Fecal Reference with TruMatrix™ Technology is a microbial reference material composed of stool from healthy donors for quality control, process validation, assay development, and proficiency testing. The fecal reference was homogenized in one large batch to produce consistency in every vial, eliminating typical lot-to-lot variability. With over 2 million preps available, this reference is intended to be used as a control for workflow performance, as well as comparing workflow consistency across replicates, studies, and laboratories. To facilitate methods comparison, a platform is in development to enable users to compare characterization data against applied methodology.
