Norgen-Biotek - Model Cat. TM36900, TM36910, EP36900 -Bacillus Cereus Detection Kits
Bacillus cereus is a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium. Some strains of B. cereus cause foodpoisoning and other diseases such as keratitis. B. cereus grows at a wide range of temperature, from 4°C to 37°C. In fact, many foodborne illnesses caused by B. cereus are a consequence of improperly cooked or improperly stored food, including dairy products and meats. The majority of food poisoning by B. cereus could be divided into two types of symptoms – the emetic type and the diarrheal type, both of which are caused by the enterotoxin produced by the bacteria.
- Detection kits for Bacillus cereus
- Available in 2 formats for analysis:
There are 2 kits available for the detection of Bacillus cereus:
- PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality
- Master Mix for the target and PCR control detection
- Primer and Probe mix
- Positive control and a negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents
- Master Mix and primers for the specific amplification of a nucleotide region of the Bacillus cereus genome
- Positive control and a negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents
- Loading dye and a DNA ladder to facilitate analysis of the results
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix, Control Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots. All reagents can be stored for 1 year at -20°C without showing any reduction in performance.
