Human Adenovirus-5 Quantitated Viral DNA

SHIPPING AND STORAGE:

This Adenovirus PCR control product is shipped frozen on dry ice. Store at -20°C upon receipt. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles as product degradation may result.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Upon thawing this Adenovirus PCR control, centrifuge the vial for a few seconds to remove residual droplets from the lid.

CAUTION: Advanced Biotechnologies does not recommend storage of dilutions of quantitated PCR Controls under any conditions. All dilutions should be made immediately before use and used promptly. We have observed that dilutions used for standard curves may tend to lose copy number with time (sometimes a matter of an hour or so after dilution), especially at dilutions less than 100-1000 copies per microliter.

SAFE HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS:

The DNA extraction procedure used has been shown to eliminate the infectivity of most viruses and bacteria; therefore, this Adenovirus PCR control product is not considered biohazardous. However, this product is not specifically tested for infectivity and should be handled in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices and any applicable local guidelines.
