Linear Range

• he linear range (analytical measurement) of Norgen's HIV Quantitative TaqMan RT- PCR Detection Kit was determined by analysing a dilution series of Norgen's HIV quantification standard ranging from 2 x 10⁶ copies to 2 x 10¹ copies.
• Each dilution has been tested in replicates (n = 4) using Norgen's HIV Quantitative TaqMan RT-PCR Detection Kit.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability

• The HIV Quantitative TaqMan RT-PCR Detection Kit is shipped on dry ice.
• All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival
• If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance.
• Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
• These reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year when stored at the specified conditions.
