Urine Based Chlamydia PCR Detection Kits from AccuVis Bio

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 11, 2012 - Accuvis Bio is now dealing with Urine-Based Chlamydia PCR Detection Kits. It constituents a complete, ready-to-use system for the isolation and detection of Chlamydia using end-point PCR. The Kit first allows for the isolation of total DNA including bacterial DNA, from the urine samples using a convenient spin column. The Bacterial DNA is isolated free from PCR inhibitors, and can then be used as the template in a PCR reaction for Chlamydia detection using the provided Chlamydia Master Mix. The Chlamydia Master Mix contains reagents and enzymes for the specific amplification of a 260 bp region of the Chlamydia’s Cryptic plasmid. In addition, Urine based Chlamydia PCR detection kit contains a second heterologous amplification system and controls to identify possible false negatives and/or inadequate isolation. The kit is designed to allow for the testing of 24 samples and is ideal for use in surveillance of drug resistant pathogens, epidemiological studies, field surveillance of pathogens and surveys. The Chlamydia PCR Primer set and controls are also available separately for end-point PCR detection

Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of Chlamydia, is a Gram negative bacteria. Transmission of the bacteria occurs via contact with infected bodily fluids which then infect mucosal membranes. It can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and infect the eyes causing conjunctivitis. The genital infection causes urethritis, epididymitis and prostatitis in males and Pelvic inflammatory Disease(PID) in females with an increased risk of contracting HIV

Benefits

A complete optimized kit for iso- lation  and  detection

The Urine-Based Chlamydia PCR Detection Kit is a complete kit that  contains:

1) all the required components to allow  for opti mized isolation of bacterial DNAfrom urine, and  

2) Chlamydia Master Mix and  controls to allow  for the optimizedamplification and  detection of the bacterial DNA

Purchase Primer Set and  Controls Separately

The Chlamydia Primer set and  positive/negative controls can be purchasedseparately.

High Sensitivity and  Specificity          

The limit of detection is less than  200 VP/mL of urine

Isolate high quality, inhibitor-free DNA

Removal of  highly  concentrated  salts, metabolic wastes  and proteins provideshigh quality, concentrated DNA.

Rapid  Procedure          

Isolate, amplify and  detect Chlamydia in under  3 hours.

Includes controls to identify PCR inhibition and  problems with DNA isolation

The  Chlamydia  2X PCR Master  Mix contains  an  independent PCR control toidentify  false negatives. A Chlamydia Isolation Control  (IsoC) is also supplied to allow  the  user to control the DNA isolation procedure.

Non-invasive, non-infectious sample source

Urine is not infectious for most human diseases, making it an attractivealternative for diagnostics

Ideal for use in a number of different applications

Ideal for use in surveillance of drug  resistant pathogens, epide- miologialstudies, field surveillance of pathogens and  surveys.
