The NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for construction of high quality NGS libraries with low input DNA amount from 1 ng to 400 ng. The kit allows scientist to study samples with limited DNA such as tumor samples, patient samples, and other specially collected samples (FACS sorting etc.). The kit has high library conversion efficiency with as little as 1 ng DNA input. The fast and simple 1.5-hour protocol makes libraries with even coverage and low GC-bias based our unique chemistry for DNA end-polishing and ligation.

The kit needs double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library preparation, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic approach (for example, BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes, Cat.# 40061 and Cat.# 40062) and mechanical approaches such as sonication and nebulization etc.

NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow

Three index types are available for the NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit of illumina platform:

Non-index (Cat.# 30022): Libraries do not have index.

Index (Cat.# 30024): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode sequence with 6 bases that can be used to identify the low input DNA libraries. Library multiplexing up to 48 samples is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.

Unique dual index (Cat.# 30025): Library multiplexing up to 96 low input DNA libraries is possible with unique dual indexes with our Four-Base Difference Index System. The system allows us to make indexes for the libraries that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base barcode length. Our unique dual index primers can reduce sequencing errors such as de-multiplexing errors, amplification errors, mis-assignment of reads, index cross-contamination, and also index hopping. The kit  includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.

Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34024).

The BioShake mixing-technology is obviously more robust, vibration free and needs less maintenance compared to classical mixers.

The first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake XP its essential functionality. It provides a high amount of security, device stability and ensures a long service life.

GENTLE MIXING OF SAMPLES

By planar orbital motion

German designed and manufactured, BioShake XP plate mixer offer an ultra-efficient, 2-dimensional shaking axis so that samples mix completely in a fraction of the time of competing systems.

The mixing orbit of 2.0 mm is always constant. The orbital shaking is precisely controlled, in fact, that you need never spin down your plates after mixing. Even tubes, vials, high density plates, or low sample volumes, offer no obstacle for these precision tools.

Fully adjustable between 200 rpm and 3,000 rpm, well beyond the speeds of most other brands, guarantees fast, splatter-free, mixing for tubes, glass vials or across an entire 384-well microplate.

COMFORT

Simple intuitive operation and programming

The BioShake XP is operated from the front face of the enclosure which includes touch buttons and a display. 

Special buttons for start, stop and storage of time and mixing modes enable the instrument to run complex applications. This opens new points of view on the daily laboratory work and optimizes routine application enormously.

The short mix button allows short and fast mixing in between.

The two line LCD display guarantees simultaneous and safe reading of all programmed and measured parameters as time and mixing frequency.

UNIVERSAL SPRING CLAMPS

Suitable for all microplates

In the corners eight spring clamps are inserted for easy fixation of skirted microplates and deep well plates in SBS format 127.7 x 85.5 mm without an attached adapter. These spring clamps lock the microplate quickly and safely, even at the highest mixing frequencies.

For flexible and deformable PCR plates we recommend using of the related PCR adapter.

Fast mixing processes with frequent plate changes can be performed in the routine as easy and safe.

UNIQUE DESIGN MEETS HIGH-END TECHNOLOGY

First-class finished aluminium housing

Unique and efficient design combined with the most compact housing result in beautiful and well-defined laboratory equipment.  Therefore, the first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake XP its essential functionality. It provides a high amount of security, device stability and ensures a long service life.

Safety of the user and ease of use are clearly a priority for us.

EXCHANGABLE ADAPTERS

Introduction

Hipure Stool RNA Kit is specially designed for stool RNA extraction. This kit is suitable for extracting high-purity microbial or host cell RNA from ≤0.1g stool samples. The kit adopts silica gel column purification technology and original solution system, which can effectively remove humic acid and other inhibitory factors in stool samples. The purified RNA can be directly used in RT-PCR, Northern hybridization and other experiments.

Specifications

Principle

The HiPure silica gel column uses a high binding ability glass fiber filter membrane as the substrate. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as Guanidinium chloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic and other physical factors, while protein or other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane that has adsorbed nucleic acids is washed to remove proteins and salts. Finally, low salt buffer solution (such as Buffer TE) or water can be used to wash out the nucleic acids adsorbed on the filter membrane. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

The stool samples are homogenized in the lysis solution, further lysed in a high-temperature water bath, and RNA is released into the lysis solution. Chloroform extraction removes genomic DNA and impurities, transfer the supernatant to an alcohol free binding solution, purify RNA through a column, and finally elute RNA with RNase Free Water. The purified RNA can be directly used for experiments such as PCR, Southern hybridization, and enzyme digestion.

Advantages

• High purity – unique adsorbent for more efficient removal of inhibitors
• High concentration – maximum extraction of total RNA from stool samples
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG

Overview

• Excellent separation and purification of cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA
• Convenient and fast spin column format
• High quality and yield of RNA
• Isolate full diversity of RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
• Purified RNA is ready for any application including RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, RNA-Seq, arrays and more
• Cytoplasmic RNA is free of DNA and ready for direct use in RT-PCR/qRT-PCR
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of both cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA from cultured animal cells and small tissue samples. The kit can be used to isolate all sizes of RNA from the cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA fractions, including all small RNA species without any requirement for phenol.   Included in the kit are sufficient reagents to perform either 50 cytoplasmic RNA preparations or 25 cytoplasmic and 25 nuclear RNA preparations.   Ten samples can be processed in approximately 45 minutes.  This kit is also available in a 100 prep size.    

Background

In certain circumstances it is desirable to be able to isolate fractionated RNA as opposed to total RNA. For example, it may be preferable to isolate only mature, cytoplasmic RNA for some studies on expression profiling. Alternatively it may be desirable to isolate nuclear RNA in order to investigate and study pre-processed (non-spliced) RNA. Furthermore, this kit can be used to isolate RNA for downstream applications where it is necessary to avoid DNA contamination, since the cytoplasmic fraction has been shown to be free of all traces of genomic DNA.
