The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and template. The master mix features high sensitivity and high signal intensity when compared with Brand A. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. This master mix allows for sensitive and precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. The master mix includes ROX reference dye for normalization of each qPCR assay. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process.

The MBG4 reagent contains a single substrate, namely 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-(31-β-D-cellotriosyl-glucoside) (BCNPBG4). The benzylidene acetal group prevents any hydrolytic action by exo-acting hydrolytic enzymes such as β-glucosidase or cellobiohydrolase.
Mixed linkage β-glucanase (endo-1,3:1,4-β-glucanase) / lichenase (EC 3.2.1.73) acts specifically to release 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (CNP) from this substrate. The rate of release of CNP is directly related to the β-glucanase/lichenase activity in a sample. The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH = 10.0).
Note that the substrate is not hydrolysed by β-glucosidase or cellobiohydrolase. The substrate can be hydrolysed by certain endo-cellulases (e.g. Trichoderma sp.) but this does not result in an increase in absorbance.

Isolate total RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
Isolated RNA is of high quality, integrity and diversity
Also available in 96-well format for high throughput applications
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, including virus and viroid RNA, from a wide range of plants. Total RNA can be purified from fresh or frozen plant tissues, plant cells or filamentous fungi samples using this kit. All sizes of RNA are purified, including microRNA (miRNA) . The procedure is rapid and convenient.
The RNA is purified without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest quality, and 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 Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit is also available in a 96-well (High Throughput) format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.
