Kit contents
Champion™ Competent Cells
pUC19 Control Plasmid (5 μl, 10-4 μg/μl)
Champion™ Transformation Protocol Card
Shipping condition
Throughout the shipping process, the temperature is maintained under -70°C.
Storage and expiration
Champion™ Competent Cells must be stored between -70°C to -80°C. Subsequent freeze-thaw cycles will reduce transformation efficiency. If high efficiency is required for the experiment, do not use aliquots that have gone through several freeze-thaw cycles. The efficiency of Champion™ Competent Cells lasts for 1 year with proper storage.

Overview
Purification and enrichment of intact plasma/serum exosomes for functional studies
Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
Versatile plasma/serum input volume
No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes required
No precipitation reagents, nor overnight incubation required
Compatible with plasma/serum from most species
Pure exosomes are purified and are free from any other RNA-binding proteins
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin
The purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Mini Kit
For sample volumes ranging from 50 µL to 1 mL. This kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL.
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Midi Kit
For sample volumes ranging from 1 mL to 4 mL. This kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL.
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Maxi Kit
For sample volumes ranging from 4 mL to 10 mL. This kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL.
All sizes, including miRNA and small RNA (< 200 nt)
Elution Volume
50-100 μL
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
35 – 40 minutes
Average Yields
Variable depending on specimen
*Please check page 4 of the product insert for the average yields and the common RNA quantification methods
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
Important Note This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
RNA/microRNA/DNA/Proteins are preserved for more than 2 years at room temperature in Norgen’s Urine Preservative
Compatible with most DNA, Total RNA, microRNA and protein isolation methods
Preservative is available in a single dose liquid format (ampule)
Preservative is also available in a dried format in tubes – Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes
Urine Collection and Preservation Devices are available in 4 convenient sizes: 5 cc tubes, 15 cc tubes, 50 cc tubes, and 120 cc cups
Norgen’s Urine Preservative is designed for the rapid preservation of DNA, RNA, microRNA and proteins from fresh urine samples. In addition, the Urine Preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the Urine Preservative allow samples to be stored for over 2 years at room temperature with no detected degradation of urine DNA, RNA or proteins.
Norgen’s Urine Preservative is available in 2 convenient formats:
1. Urine Preservative Single Dose Ampules With this product Norgen’s Urine Preservative is supplied in a liquid format in single dose ampules. The user simply collects 5 – 50 mL of urine into a urine collection container and adds the contents of the Urine Preservative Single Dose (Cat# 18126). The urine and preservative are then mixed, and the urine nucleic acids and proteins are preserved at room temperature.
2. Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes Norgen’s Urine Preservative is also available in a dried format in Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes. The user simply collects urine into the tubes and mixes gently until the orange preservative pellet in the tube has dissolved. Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes are available in 3 convenient sizes:
Select Urine Tested with the Norgen Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes
Human Mouse Lynx Wolf Urine collected from snow
Available Sizes and Formats
Urine Collection and Preservation Cups (120 cc) – Urine inputs from 100 – 120 mL
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All tubes/cups should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature (15 – 25°C) for up to 2 years without any reduction in performance.
DBCO-NHCO-PEG5-acid is an analog of DBCO-Acid with a hydrophilic PEG spacer arm, which improves water solubility. This reagent is a non-activated building block with enhanced solubility in aqueous media and can thus be used to derivatize amine-containing molecule through a stable amide bond. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
