Caltag Medsystems are the UK and European distributor of ELK Biotechnology: experts on immunology-related products, priding themselves on offering high quality products at affordable prices. ELK Biotech have a wide variety of antibodies, ELISA kits and nucleic acid detection reagents, which will help researchers understand and accelerate the research of SARS-COV-2. COVID-19

The new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease that can be spread by droplets and contact at the end of 2019. It is caused by a coronavirus with very high homology to SARS virus. For this reason, the coronavirus is named: SARS-CoV-2.

Today, New Coronary Pneumonia poses a huge threat to the survival of the human race and the stability of human society.

Viral RNAclean Kit

• The preparation of viral DNA or viral RNA in body fluids can be completed within 20-40 minutes.
• Supplemented Carrier RNA effectively improves virus detection sensitivity.
• Compared with the traditional boiling method, the sensitivity of virus DNA extraction is increased by more than 10-50 times, up to 50 copies / ml.
• Compared with the traditional Trizol method, the sensitivity of virus RNA extraction is increased by 5-10 times, up to 100 copies / ml.
• No need for phenol chloroform extraction and isopropanol precipitation step.

EntiLink™ 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit

The EntiLink 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit is a complete system for the efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNAs that can synthesise cDNA up to 13 kb. This product contains gDNA Eraser, which can quickly and completely remove genomic contamination. The EntiLink 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit supplied with oligo(dT)18 primers and random 9-mer primers. The oligo(dT)18 primer selectively binds to the poly (A) tail in the mRNA. The random 9-mer primer does not require a poly (A) tail, so it can transcribe the 5′-end region of the mRNA, and can also synthesise cDNA using the poly (A)-free RNA (such as micoRNA) as a template. The kit can also be used for gene-specific reverse transcription, such as miRNA reverse transcription and lncRNA reverse transcription.
