Product Description

SHENTEK® Residual SV40LTA & E1A DNA Quantitation Kit (2G) is a duplex real-time PCR (qPCR) kit designed to quantify residual SV40 large T antigen (LTA) and E1A host cell DNA (e.g., from HEK293T). The assay is duplex (simultaneous detection of SV40LTA and E1A) with an internal positive control (IPC) and achieves sensitivity to the level of 10^1 copies/μL. The kit includes linear and non-linear DNA controls for standard curve generation and is compatible with common real-time PCR platforms (SHENTEK-96S, ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX96). Reagents are provided for 100 reactions.

IPC acceptance criteria Mean Ct(IPC) of sample should be within ±1.0 of the NCS Ct(IPC); significant increase indicates potential inhibition
NTC acceptance thresholds SV40LTA detection value of NTC should be ≤ 14.32 copies/μL; E1A detection value of NTC should be ≤ 17.79 copies/μL (or use user-validated criteria)
Provided reactions Reagents for 100 reactions
Shelf life Kit components can be stored under recommended conditions for up to 24 months

Features

  • Duplex real-time PCR: Simultaneous quantitation of SV40LTA and E1A targets in the same reaction using target-specific probes and an IPC.
  • High sensitivity: Detects down to 10^1 copies/μL enabling detection of low-level residual host cell DNA.
  • Ready-to-use controls and mixes: Includes linear and non-linear DNA controls, qPCR reaction buffer, primer/probe mix, and IPC mix to support standard curve generation and assay QC.
  • Platform compatibility: Validated on common qPCR instruments (SHENTEK-96S, ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX96) and adaptable to other real-time PCR systems.
  • Pre-defined analysis settings: Recommended thermal cycling and analysis parameters (e.g., threshold = 0.02, manual Ct) provided to standardize quantitation.

Applications

  • Quantitation of residual SV40LTA and E1A host cell DNA in cell substrates (e.g., HEK293T)
  • Residual host cell DNA monitoring for upstream/downstream bioprocessing and product release testing (research use)
  • Method validation and standard curve generation for absolute quantitation of SV40-derived sequences

Attention

• For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for diagnostic use.

• Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and follow handling instructions.

• Wear appropriate PPE: protective eyewear, mask, laboratory coat, and gloves.

• Avoid contamination: irradiate bench, pipettes and tubes with UV for 30 minutes and disinfect surfaces with 75% ethanol before setup.

• Reconstitute lyophilized control carefully: add 55 μL ddH2O, mix and let stand 10 minutes; perform serial dilutions as instructed.

• Protect light-sensitive reagents (qPCR Reaction Buffer, Primer & Probe MIX, IPC MIX) from light and store at –20 °C.

• Prepare at least five concentration points for the standard curve; perform method validation to select appropriate sample dilutions.

• DDB: store remaining unused DDB at 2–8 °C; if cloudy, heat to 37 °C until clear.

• IPC criteria: mean Ct(IPC) should be within ±1.0 of NCS Ct(IPC); significant shifts indicate inhibition.

• NTC acceptance: SV40LTA ≤ 14.32 copies/μL and E1A ≤ 17.79 copies/μL (or use user-defined validation criteria).

• Configure analysis parameters per instrument and software version; recommended settings include manual Ct and threshold = 0.02.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the limit of detection (LOD) for this kit?
The kit reports sensitivity to the level of 10^1 copies/μL. Actual LOD/LOQ should be confirmed during your laboratory validation.
Q2: Which instruments are compatible with this kit?
The kit is compatible with common real-time PCR instruments including SHENTEK-96S, ABI 7500 (SDS v1.4 example) and Bio-Rad CFX96. Other instruments may be used with appropriate program and analysis adjustments.
Q3: How should I set up the qPCR thermal profile and analysis?
Recommended program: Activation 95 °C 10:00; 40 cycles of 95 °C 0:15 and 60 °C 1:00 (read fluorescence during annealing/extension). Analysis: Manual Ct with threshold = 0.02 and Automatic Baseline; use Absolute Quantitation (standard curve).
Q4: What controls should I include and what are acceptance criteria?
Include NTC, NCS, and at least five standard curve points (ST1–ST5; ST6 optional for linear control). IPC mean Ct should be within ±1.0 of NCS. NTC detection values should be ≤ 14.32 copies/μL for SV40LTA and ≤ 17.79 copies/μL for E1A, or use your validated criteria.
