Proteinase K is a proteolytic enzyme. The enzyme uses Ca2+ ions for structural stability. Due to the high total activity of the enzyme, lysis can be carried out in the presence of EDTA. Proteinase K is therefore excellently usefull for the extraction of nucleic acids from various biological samples....

Contaminant DNA is especially problematic in the highly sensitive PCR technique, as its removal has proven to be no trivial matter. Originating from aerosolized fragments, contaminant DNA can lead to cross contamination between samples thus resulting in inaccurate data or PCR artefacts. Even a...

Our PCR Quantification Standards contain genomic DNA extracted from low passage of defined microorganisms. The DNA starting material was analyzed with standardized methods to determine the DNA’s integrity and quantity. Only pure and intact DNA showing a > 10 kb band in an agarose gel and an...

SwabUp™ Lab Monitoring kit is for tracing DNA contamination hot-spots in molecular biology labs in order to efficiently eliminate them and prevent future occurrence. Small amounts of amplicon- or target DNA contaminations could lead to PCR artifacts and false positive results. Originating from...

Type of PCR Digital PCR (dPCR)   Recommended Use To test product quality, the amount of residual DNA in a drug's final dosage form must follow guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Pharmacopoeia, and other...

Mynox® Gold represents the further development of the classical Mynox®. Mynox® Gold is a combination of a standard antibiotic and the biological Mynox® reagent. One application comprises of a starter treatment that eliminates most of the mycoplasma particles without harming the...

Validation tools for conventional and qPCR cycler Validation tools for testing PCR thermal cyclers according to legal requirements ISO 17025, EN 45001, ISO 13485, ISO/TS 20836:2007, GLP, GMP, IQ/OQ/PQ, … Cycler Check Kits The PCR Cycler Check Kits are available for both conventional endpoint...

Mycoplasma tests according to the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) Chapter 2.6.7 require a sensitivity of 10 colony forming units (CFU) per ml sample volume for NAT-based methods such as PCR in order to replace traditional culture methods. This sensitivity must be accomplished as part of the robustness...

Contains 3 vials with 100 CFU each and 2 negative controls. For the validation of detection limit and robustness. Enables spiking of individual sample material with inactivated mycoplasma particles.

DNA contaminations are notoriously difficult to remove and can be easily spread via spills especially in connected laboratory areas via the room floor and/or dispersed dust. Keeping room “DNA-load” low is helping to prevent cross contamination or PCR artefacts in DNA sensitive...

The classic Mynox® is an antibiotic-free formulation; its activity is based on a biophysical mechanism, thus there is no development of resistant strains. Mycoplasma are permanently destroyed within 2-3 hours. Benefits Free of antibiotics Recommended Use / Scope Mynox® is intended for...
