What is provided in the reagent kits?
The Total DNA Assay Kit includes all of the reagents required to test a sample. This includes a calf thymus DNA “High Calibrator” for preparing the standard curve, a DNA free “Zero Calibrator” that can be used for diluting the sample and preparing the standards, a “Positive Control” for monitoring the accuracy of the standard curve preparation, the “Labeling Reagent” that will bind to the sample DNA, and the membrane sticks for capturing the bound DNA. A substrate concentrate is also included for detection, as well as the appropriate buffer and wash solutions. The Immuno-Ligand Assay Kit includes all of the reagents required to perform a Threshold system assay, except the binding proteins (such as antibodies) or DNA probes specific for the analyte of interest. The kit reagents include “Capture Reagent,” “Enzyme Reagent,” membrane sticks, substrate concentrate, and appropriate buffers and washes. A “Universal Standard” is also included, which can be used for training and trouble-shootin
