Kit Specifications
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
The Pneumocystis jirovecii TaqMan PCR Kit is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen 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. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. 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.

Pneumocystis jirovecii TaqMan PCR Detection Kits
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a yeast-like fungus that causes Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia (originally known as Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia or PCP). PCP is the most common opportunistic infection in patients with HIV/AIDS. Species of Pneumocystis are commonly found in the lungs of healthy individuals. In fact, most children are believed to be exposed by age 3 or 4 years. Studies have suggested that P. jirovecii is communicable, possibly via airborne transmission. Disease usually develops in patients whose cellular immunity and humoral immunity are defective. Even with the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), there is still a high prevalence of PCP in HIV patients.
