AccuPower® Actinomyces viscosus Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

A. viscosus is a gram-positive bacterium that causes tooth decay, and in rare cases sepsis, or endocarditis. A. viscosus is a microorganism that exists in the oral cavity of adults and is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of tooth decay, especially root caries. If there is a problem with oral health, such as a wound in the mouth, it may cause sepsis or endocarditis, and if accompanied by purulent drainage, it is diagnosed as actinomycosis.

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.
