Product Information

Specifications

  • Product Name: Bacillus cereus Detection Kit
  • Product Number: KIT230201
  • Revision: A, December 2023
  • Usage: PCR kit for the qualitative detection of groEL target using real-time PCR instruments
  • Intended Use: For food testing purposes
  • Kit Size: 50 reactions
  • For In Vitro Use Only

Product Usage Instructions

Program Setup

1. Program your real-time PCR instrument before setting up the PCR reactions. Select the following channels: FAM (groEL) and VIC/HEX (Internal Control).

Data Interpretation

  1. Verify the results of positive (Control Template) and negative (H2O) controls before interpreting the sample results. Always compare samples to positive and negative controls.
  2. Review data from each channel and interpret results as described in the table provided.

Preparation of the RT-PCR Mix

  1. Take appropriate precautions to prevent contamination, e.g., by using filter tips and wearing gloves. Thaw reagents, mix (do not vortex!) and briefly spin vials before opening.
  2. Prepare PCR mix for each reaction to a suitable tube. Mix carefully but thoroughly by pipetting up and down.
  3. Add PCR mix, followed by samples and controls.
  4. Seal strips/plates accurately.
  5. Briefly spin strips/plate in a suitable centrifuge.
  6. Start real-time PCR run following the specified cycle for samples.

PREPARATION OF THE RT-PCR MIX

  • Take appropriate precautions to prevent contamination, e.g., using filter tips and gloves.
  • Thaw reagents, mix (do not vortex!), and briefly spin vials before opening.
  1. PREPARE PCR MIX
    • Add 10 µL Master Mix (2XM) and 4 µL Primer/Probe Mix (P)  for each reaction to a suitable tube.
    • (n samples + 2 controls + at least one additional reaction to cover pipetting loss). Mix carefully but thoroughly by pipetting up and down.
  2. ADD PCR MIX
    • Pipet 14 µL of prepared PCR mix into each strip or plate well.
  3. ADD SAMPLES AND CONTROLS
    • Pipet 6 µL of samples, negative control (PCR-grade H2O, not included) or Control Template (C) into respective wells.
  4. SEAL
    • Seal strips/plates accurately.
  5. CENTRIFUGE
    • Briefly spin strips/plate in a suitable centrifuge.
  6. START REAL-TIME PCR RUN
    • Cycle samples as described above.
