highQu PCRbeam™ Fast PCR Detection Kit is a convenient tool for fast detection of gene-specific amplification products obtained by PCR, LAMP or RPA. The detection is based on immunological reaction driven by Biotin and FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate), thus the amplified DNA shall include Biotin and FITC labels. The PCR amplification has to be performed with one primer labeled with FITC at 5’-end and one primer labeled with Biotin at 5’-end. Alternatively the use of one of the labeled primers can be replaced by gene-specific FITC or Biotin labeled probe. Kit includes PCRbeam™ Membrane Strips that are coated with biotin-ligand on the test band and an anti-rabbit antibody on the control band. The bottom part of the strip which is used for sample application contains an anti-FITC antibody attached to gold particles. PCRbeam™ Detection Buffer is Tris-buffered saline enabling the detection. The PCRbeam™ Fast PCR Detection Kit can be applied for established tests or home-brew assays as a fast and sensitive yes/no detection method. The detection sensitivity is up to 100 fold higher than the one achievable with ethidium bromide stained gels what provides an environment friendly save and economical alternative to the use of mutagen stains. For establishing sensitive PCR-based tests before PCRbeam™ detection we recommend the use of hot-start PCR enzymes or master mixes, like highQu ALLin™ Hot Start Taq Mastermix or ALLin™ Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase. Principle: The membrane strip is soaked for 10 minutes into the vial with the detection buffer mixed with PCR product. The lateral sample flow driven by gold particles moves the solution up the strip. FITC labeled DNA strand binds with the anti-FITC antibody on the gold particle and Biotin labeled DNA strand is caught by Biotin ligand attached to the test band. As both DNA strands remain hybridized at room temperature, the test band builds an aggregate that develops red-blue color. Excess gold particles that were not caught by FITC move up the strip and the anti-FITC antibody binds to the anti-rabbit antibody to develop the red-blue colored control band. If there is no PCR product in the reaction, then only the control band will be visible. If there is a specific product, the test band will be colored as well.

The iSWAB-RNA-v2 device allows for the non-invasive collection, concentration, and stabilization of intact buccal cells and/or any mammalian cells collected with a swab or cytobrush allowing for real time ambient stabilization of total RNA from the point of collection to processing. Maintaining RNA stability and protecting it from degradation is a significant challenge, while current RNA stabilization methods such as PAXgene, Tempus, RNAgard or dry blood spots require invasive blood collection resulting in low compliance.

highQu ready to use DNA ladders are mixtures of highly purified plasmid digests and PCR products. The high ladder purity allows for exceptional stability and room temperature storage. Ladders are ready to be directly loaded on agarose gels and are supplied with the loading dye solution for probe DNA. They provide sharp bands for DNA sizing and allow for approximate DNA quantification by comparing the amount of DNA of the band similar in size to your sample band.

Non-invasive sample collection tube for collection and stabilization of protein and DNA in the same oral sample.  Oral sample collection has gained widespread acceptance due to its non-invasive nature and because continuous visual contact of the collection process is possible.  Current non-invasive collection products are designed for immediate detection using stick-based technology, but are limited to simple yes/no answers.  If additional data is required, a more robust collection method coupled with high-sensitivity downstream analysis is necessary.

iSWAB-Discovery is a DNA collection kit for humans or animals that can capture samples producing robust yields of double stranded, long fragmented DNA from buccal cells using traditional swabs. iSWAB-DSC is essentially identical to iSWAB-DNA but requires only a single swab and is more cost effective and yields less DNA. Ideal for:  Paternity Testing – Genealogy and Ancestry – Population Studies – Animal Speciation and Genomics
