  Oxford Expression Technologies has teamed up with Agilent Technologies to introduce A convenient ‘all reagents included’ virus extraction & quantification kit.

   

  KEY FEATURES

  • Titre accuracy comparable to plaque assay method

  • Less than one hour hands-on time

  • Virus DNA extraction and titration in under three hours

  • Compatible with any AcMNPV-based baculovirus system containing gp64 viral gene

  • Single step virus DNA extraction: just add lysis solution (no spin columns)

  • QPCR Primers/ Probe provided as a single reagent mix: just add water

  • Agilent high performance, ultra sensitive master mix reagent included

  • Plaque assay titred virus internal standards included for standard curve generation

   

  OVERVIEW OF PROTOCOL

  See image for a schematic of the protocol

  1. Virus DNA is extracted from recombinant  viruses of unknown titre and from a series of dilutions of the virus internal standard (no columns are needed, simply add lysis solution to the virus sample and place into a thermocycler)

  2. QPCR is carried out to determine the C_t values for the virus DNA samples and internal standards (realtime PCR machine)

  3. The titres of the virus DNA samples are determined by plotting their C_t values onto a standard curve generated using virus internal standards (provided in the kit)
