Product Overview

Overview

Leptospira is a bacterium that causes acute febrile systemic disease. It is spread by a direct contact with the urine of an infected organism, contaminated water, or an indirect contact with the environment. Severity of symptoms range from mild to severe, such as headache, muscle pain, fever, to bleeding in the lungs. Leptospira can survive for a long time in a humid environment, which is why acute febrile systemic diseases mainly occur from August to November in South Korea.

Features and Benefits

Convenience & Reproducibility
All reactants necessary for PCR including primers are lyophilized in each PCR tube, providing reproducible results in a convenient way.
Sensitivity
By applying the patented PyroHotStart(Enzyme-mediated HotStart) technology that minimizes non-specific reactions and maximizes reaction efficiency, only the target gene can be effectively amplified even with a trace amount of template DNA.
Stability
Included stabilizer in the PCR reaction mixture provides increased stability compared to solution-type products.
