Protocols and examples of DNA isolated from various samples

HIV-1 RNA from Human Plasma and Serum

Total nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) extracted from human plasma and serum samples spiked with HIV-1 RNA were tested using a HIV One-Step real-time RT-PCR kit. As shown, HIV-1 and internal control both performed excellently with early Ct values.

5 ul sample was added in a 20 ul RT-PCR reaction. As shown in the image, the kit detects HIV-1 RNA (left image) on the FAM channel and human GAPDH RNA (right image) as internal control on the HEX channel.VCC HIV-1 GAPDH RNA from Plasma and Serum

DNA from Human Plasma and Serum

Total nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) extracted from human plasma and serum samples were tested using a Sybr Green I-based real-time PCR kit. As shown, all samples worked extremely well in giving early Ct values for Human AMELX/Y gene markers.

5 ul sample was added in a 20 ul real-time PCR reaction. As shown in the image, the kit detects AMELX/Y DNA with high specificity shown by specific melt curves (left image) and high sensitivity shown by early Ct values (right image).VCC AMELXY DNA Ct Tm Plasma Serum
