AccuPower® Borrelia burgdorferi Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

B. burgdorferi is a gram-negative bacterium known as one of the causative agents of Lyme disease. B. burgdorferi hosts black-legged ticks and is transmitted to human. Lyme disease characteristically causes erythema migraines, and also fever, headache, and fatigue. Lyme disease is diagnosed by in three stages, and if it is not treated in the first stage, the infection spreads through the blood to whole body organs causing arrhythmias, myocarditis, and encephalitis.

Features and Benefits

• Convenience
  All necessary reactants for real-time PCR are included in a tube (i.e., Master Mix Type), allowing the users to perform reaction simply by adding template DNA, Oligo Mix, and DEPC-D.W.
  
  
• Sensitivity
  By using BIONEER’s HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase 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.
