[QP3520] Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gel (Midi, 15 wells, 4-12%), 10 gels

Overview

• Isolate DNA from a wide range of food materials. (e.g boiled, fluid, processed or raw food products)
• No hazardous chemicals required (e.g. phenol or chloroform)
• Effective lysis with Proteinase K and optional lysozyme treatment
• Fast (less than 15 minutes hands-on time) and convenient processing using a rapid spin-column format
• Wide compatibility with a variety of food products for GMO-DNA isolation
• Universal protocol for food related pathogen DNA isolation (Gram positive and Gram negative)

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total DNA from a wide range of food samples originating from animals or plants. The kit is designed for identification of GMO-DNA or animal components in food and feed and can be used for a wide range of starting materials including raw or processed food, meat, liquids, sauces and dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt.

This kit also provides a convenient method for the detection of food-related pathogens and will isolate such DNA (enriched or as is) including Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi which may contaminate food sources.  A number of pathogens have been tested including E. coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica & Campylobacter jejuni.  The purified DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR based detection, sequencing and genotyping.

endo-BCN-PEG2-PFP ester is a click chemistry active ester. The PFP esters have similar applications as the NHS esters, but are more stable in aqueous solution. They can be used to label the primary amines (-NH2) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. The BCN group can react with azide-tagged biomolecules. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Overview

• 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:

• 5 cc tubes, 1 – 5 mL of urine
• 15 cc tubes, 5 – 15 mL of urine
• 50 cc tubes, 5 – 45 mL of urine
• 120 cc cup, 100 – 120 mL of urine
