Isolate true total RNA including siRNA and microRNA
No phenol extractions
Purify high-quality RNA in 30 minutes
Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s Preserved Blood RNA Purification Kit II provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA from blood that has been preserved using PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes*. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use of phenol or chloroform.
Purification is based on spin column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Norgen’s proprietary resin provides superior affinity to the full size range of RNA molecules, resulting in large and small RNA (miRNA) purification with better linearity and sensitivity. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time RT-PCR, RT-PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, expression profiling, miRNA cloning and amplification and Next Generation Sequencing.
* PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes are a product of PreAnalytiX GmbH. PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes are not provided.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 1 year after the date of shipment. The DNase I should be stored at -20°C.

Manual (centrifugation or vacuum)
Sample type
Tissue, cell, blood, saliva, swab, blood spot, semen and other clinical samples
This product is based on silica Column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).
Advantages
High quality DNA – meet a variety of downstream applications, including PCR, qPCR, enzyme digestion, hybridization, etc.
Fast – without separation of leukocytes, organic extraction or ethanol precipitation
Simple – all nucleic acids can be obtained by direct digestion
Wide applicability – It can handle various liquid samples, animal tissues and cultured cells

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Hyaluronic Acid: A gentle giant!
Hyaluronic acid, in its hydrated form, is a unique carbohydrate polymer, often referred to as a ‘gentle giant.’ It consists of a lengthy, flexible, non-branching chain with a repeating disaccharide pattern. This disaccharide is composed of alternating uronic acid and aminosugar units.
Why is our kit called ‘Purple-Jelley’?
Discovering the J-Aggregate Effect in Cyanine DyesIn 1936, Edwin Jelley made a fascinating observation, documented it in a letter to Nature (Nature 138, 1009 – 1010). He noted a peculiar behaviour of certain cyanine dyes, that when dissolved in 5 M NaCl, they dyes exhibited a third absorbance peak at a longer wavelength, around 650nm. In deionized water, however, they displayed only a double peak at approximately 540nm and 570nm. The 650nm peak in concentrated dye solutions resulted from the aggregation of dye molecules and was later termed a ‘J-aggregate,’ in honor of Edwin Jelley. The J-aggregate is known as a supra-molecular complex, formed by stacking individual dye molecules.
Subsequent research in the 1960s, notably by Kay et al. (J. Physical Chem. 68, 1896 – 1906), revealed that various biological polymers, including proteins, DNA, polar lipids, and glycosaminoglycans, could also induce this third absorbance peak. This phenomenon led to the development of the Purple-Jelley assay, named after the purple color of the dye reagent and Edwin Jelley himself.
An overview of the Purple-Jelley assay steps:
During the assay, hyaluronic acid is selectively purified during the assay sample preparation protocol. This is then reacted with the Purple-Jelley dye reagent, and the absorption of the characteristic third wavelength recorded. By comparison with a calibration curve the hyaluronic acid content of the sample can be measured.
Step 1. The assay protocol takes tissue samples through a sequential sample preparation protocol which involves enzymatic protein digestion, followed by precipitation and purification of GAGs, culminating in the precipitation of purified Hyaluronic acid.
Step2. The processed sample is then incubated for 10 minutes with the Purple-Jelley dye reagent, forming a coloured product which can be measured spectrophotometrically.
Step 3. The Hyaluronic acid content of unknown samples can be calculated by comparison against a calibration curve prepared using a standard comprising hyaluronic acid (supplied with the kit).
Assay range

Detection Method
Colorimetric Detection (655nm) (Endpoint)
Measurements per kit
100 in total (allows a maximum of 46 samples to be run in duplicate alongside a standard curve).
Suitable Samples
In-vivo: Hyaluronic acid purified from in-vivo tissues. The kit protocol involves extraction and purification of hyaluronic acid prior to reaction with the Purple-Dye reagent.
Precautions
This kit is designed for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Kit requires access to a centrifuge, as well as a spectrophotometer/colorimeter capable of colorimetric, absorbance detection at 655nm. Specific sample preparation protocols may require customer to provide further reagents, consult assay manual for further information.
