Og 250 kits

Manufactured by DNA Genotek
Sourced in Canada

The OG-250 kits are a collection of laboratory equipment and supplies designed for DNA collection and stabilization. The kits include a saliva collection device, a stabilization liquid, and other necessary components to facilitate the collection and preservation of DNA samples. The core function of the OG-250 kits is to enable the safe and reliable collection of DNA samples for various analytical applications.

Infant and Maternal Saliva DNA Genotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Saliva samples were collected from infants using assisted-collection sponges and kits (CS-2 sponges and OG-250 kits) and from mothers using passive drool collection tubes (OG-500 kit) from DNA Genotek, Ottawa, Canada. Samples were stored at room temperature until DNA isolation. DNA was isolated using the manual purification protocol from DNA Genotek. Genotyping of CD38 rs3796863 was performed with a 5ʹ-nuclease assay using primers and probes from Applied Biosystems (TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assay). Polymerase Chain Reaction was conducted with HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase and Q-solution (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands) in a BioRad C1000 thermocycler with a CFX96 fluorescence reading module, using the following thermal protocol: denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; followed by cycling: 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 1 min for 45 cycles.

APOE Genotyping and Ancestry Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
APOE genotypes were determined with saliva samples collected using OG-250 kits (DNA Genotek, Ontario, Canada). DNA was extracted using prepIT-L2P reagent (DNA Genotek, Ontario, Canada) and was genotyped with a PsychChip GWAS array. Genotypes were called using GenomeStudio software V2011.1 and genotyping module V1.8.4 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Principal Components (PC) were calculated using EIGENSOFT software78 (link), which were based on common SNPs (64,213) with Hapmap3, which were in low linkage disequilibrium with one another (i.e., low nonrandom association of alleles at different loci). Due to manufacturer protocol, outliers from the genetic data (95 subjects) were automatically discarded from the PC analysis. Outliers were defined as individuals whose ancestry was greater than three standard deviations from the mean of the two largest PCs.

Infant Saliva DNA Collection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Passive drool was collected from infants at 5 months of age using CS-2 sponges and OG-250 kits (DNA Genotek, Ottawa, Canada) and was stored at room temperature until DNA isolation. We incubated collection kits at 50 °C for 1 h, then centrifuged for 10 min at 200 rcf to release all liquid from sponges. We isolated DNA from 500 μL of saliva using the manual purification protocol from DNA Genotek. DNA was stored in Hydration Solution (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7–8, Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and quantitated using nanodrop. One infant was excluded from the final analysis due to insufficient DNA.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
