KAPA News - customer references, published paper etc.

Dear ,

welcome to the new KAPA newsletter. This time we would like to show you some new customer references, testimonials and a published paper. We hope this information could be useful for you.

Actually we would like to say "Thank very much" to Susanne Basse from Kem-En-Tec in Denmark. After we did a seminar last year in Kopenhagen, Susanne was able to concvince a lot customers and as a result you'll see two different testimonials from Denmark today - GREAT JOB - THANK YOU (Your next shipment will include a sweet surprise)

Kapa 2G Robust

Author: Bo Johansen, University of Copenhagen, Dept. of Biology, translator: SB, Kem-En-Tec A/S)

The question arised,  if an engineered enzyme from Kapa Biosystems will work in the presence of DAPI (a fluorescent dye). DNA was extracted from orchids. Several TAQ polymerases were tested before but the results were not satisfactory.
Results:
KAPA Robust together with Buffer B did amplify a product in the presence of 12,50 ng DAPI more info/ in a 25 ul PCR reaction. KAPA Robust and buffer A didn’t result in any bands and the same goes for another enzyme: Advantage 2 from BD Biosciences (Clontech).

Lane 1: Marker

Lane 2: Advantage – DAPI

Lane 3: Advantage + DAPI

Lane 4: Kapa Robust, Buffer A + DAPI

Lane 5: Kapa Robust, Buffer B + DAPI

Lane 6: Kapa Robust, Buffer A – DAPI.

PCR reaction:

683bp product from the TCP1-gene from Listera ovata (an Orchide).

95 °C – 2 min Denaturation

(95 °C – 30 sec, 59 °C – 30 sec, 72 °C – 1:30 min) 30 cycles

72 °C – 2 min.

KAPA PROBE FAST kits

Author: Henrik Rasmussen, Senior Scientist, DVM, Ph-D, Research Institute of Biological Psychiatry, Psychiatry Center Sct. Hans 2 Boserupvej ,DK-4000 DENMARK

"We have ran the test KAPA Probe versus ”Other Supplier” on two different machines: ABI 7000 and ABI 7300. It is the same samples that were used all the way (NTC with water also included in the results). Kapa Probe gives a significantly better ”clustering” and therefore a more confident read of the results than the ‘Other supplier’". We have to state that the SNPs used for this experiment are difficult ones!

You can find the pictures and results here  testimonial probe kits

If you like we can send you the PDF file of the paper. Please send a blank email and type SYBR to mailto:info@nippongenetics.eu

Last but not least Ron McEwan from Kapa Biosystems found an interesting article about Real Time PCR in a Drug Discovery magazine. If you like to receive this article please send an email and type paper to mailto:info@nippongenetics.eu

That's all for today. Our HIFI promotion started succesfully, so we hope we can convince a lot of Phusion (and other users of high fidelity enzymes) customers to change. Thanks for your attention and have a great rest of the week

Sincerely yours

Juergen
