About
ProbeSure Master Mix combines class-leading performance with the most competitive prices in the market. ProbeSure Master Mix has provided users with accurate, robust, and consistent performance for many years. It has been carefully optimised to work over a wide range of reaction volumes and sample template qualities.
ProbeSure Master Mix is supplied at 2x concentration for convenience and is supplied with the ROX normalising dye at either high level (500 nM final concentration), low level (25 nM final concentration) or without ROX.
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus. The virus was first described in 2006 and has since been isolated from human biological samples. XMRV belongs to the family Retroviridae and the genus gammaretrovirus. It has a single-stranded RNA genome that replicates through a DNA intermediate. The virus gets its name due to its close relationship with the murine leukemia viruses (MuLVs). The viral genome is approximately 8100 nucleotides in length and is 95% identical with several endogenous retroviruses of mice. While gammaretroviruses have well-characterized oncogenic effects in animals, they have not been shown to cause human cancers. However, XMRV was recently discovered in human prostate cancers and is the first gammaretrovirus known to infect humans. In addition to prostate cancer, a possible association with chronic fatigue syndrome has been reported, however it has yet to be established whether XMRV is a cause of this disease.
The causal role of XMRV in cancer has yet to be established and the virus does not appear to be capable of transforming cells directly. In prostate cancer, XMRV protein has been found in tumour-associated but nonmalignant stromal cells, but not in the actual prostate cancer cells. This raises the possibility that the virus may support tumorigenesis. In other studies, XMRV proteins and nucleic acids were found in malignant cells.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
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.
2-(Propargyl-PEG4-amido)-1,3bis(PEG1-methyl ester) is a crosslinker that can react with azide compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry to form a stable triazole linkage. The methyl ester groups can be hydrolyzed, reduced, or substituted under different conditions.

Norgen’s Total Nucleic Acid Preservation Tubes are designed for ambient preservation and transport of total nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from samples collected using a swab, including nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, etc. The Total Nucleic Acid Preservation Tubes contain Norgen’s Total Nucleic Acid Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the specimen using a sterile nylon flocked swab (not provided), and then transfers the swab into the Total Nucleic Acid Preservative. The preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the Total Nucleic Acid 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 Preservative allow DNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 4 months and RNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 months. Swab samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Total Nucleic Acid Preservation Tubes are compatible with most commercially available DNA and RNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with most of Norgen Biotek’s DNA and RNA isolation kits and reagents, including Norgen’s Total RNA Purification Kit (Cat# 17200) and Norgen’s Saliva DNA Isolation Kit (Cat# RU45400). For purification of total nucleic acids please refer to the supplementary protocol provided with Norgen’s Total RNA Purification Kit (Cat#17200).
The Total Nucleic Acid Preservation Tubes can be stored at room temperature for up 1 year without any reduction in kit performance. The collect before date is indicated on the tube label and the kit box label.
