Microbial DNA-Free WaterはMicrobial DNA qPCR ArrayおよびAssayでの使用に最適で、濃縮されたMicrobial DNA Positive Control、とMicrobial qPCR Mastermixの希釈用、およびNo Template Controlとして使用できます。
アプリケーション
Microbial DNA-Free Water is highly suited for use with Microbial DNA qPCR Arrays and Assays as a diluent for concentrated Microbial DNA Positive Control and Microbial qPCR Mastermix, and as a no-template control.
What sequences are used to design the Microbial DNA qPCR Assays?
The Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for bacterial species detection use the 16S rRNA gene as the template. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for detection of fungal species use ribosomal (small subunit or larger subunit) genes as the template. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for detection of microbial genes use various antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factor genes for the template.

What is the difference between LLOQ and LOD?
Limit of detection (LOD) is defined as the lowest concentration at which 95% of positive samples are detected. Since LOD is not necessarily within the linear range of an assay, LOD can be lower than LLOQ.
FAQ ID — 3402
Can I measure antibiotic resistance gene expression?
The Microbial DNA qPCR Arrays and Assay Kits do not allow measurement of antibiotic resistance gene expression because reverse transcriptase enzyme is not included. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays have not been tested on cDNA.

What is LLOQ?
The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is the lower limit at which an assay can provide quantitative results. It is the lowest template concentration that is within the linear range of the assay.
FAQ ID — 3401
Are the assays species-specific?
Most of the Microbial DNA qPCR Assays that detect bacterial species are species-specific. Assays that do detect more than one species will list which species are detected in the product specification sheet. These were determined by both experimental data and in silico prediction.
