Formaldehyde Assay Kit

Overview

• Ensure optimal results for sensitive applications like NGS
• Up to a tenfold increase in microRNA mapping during sequencing runs to reduce costs
• Purification and enrichment of intact urinary exosomes for functional studies.
• Bind and elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required.
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes are required.
• No precipitation reagents nor overnight incubation required.
• Compatible with urine from any species.
• Pure exosomes are purified and are free-from any other RNA-binding proteins.
• Purification is based on EXTRAClean spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix.

Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Mini Kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 1 mL. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, NGS application, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers 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.

Description 

The ExcelDye™ 6× DNA Loading Dye (Orange) is pre-mixed buffer for tracking the DNA sample during the electrophoresis on agarose or polyacrylamide gels. It contains one dye (Orange G) for tracking the DNA migration. The Orange G migrates at approximately 30 bp on a standard 2% TAE agarose gel (50 bp on 1% TAE agarose gel). The included glycerol keeps the DNA at the bottom of the well and the presence of EDTA chelates divalent metal ions to prevent the process of metal-dependent nuclease.

Composition 

• 0.15% Orange G 
• 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) 
• 60% glycerol 
• 60 mM EDTA

Storage 

4°C for 12 months
-20°C for 36 months

Overview

• Convenient
• One cDNA Synthesis, Multiple microRNAs and microRNA-targets analyzed
• Time Savings
• Cost Efficient
• High Sensitivity and Yield
• Robust Enzyme
• Available in 12 or 50 reaction size

Norgen’s microScript microRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for the reverse transcription of microRNA from either Total RNA preparations or enriched microRNA preparations. The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the microScript microRNA Enzyme Mix. The kit utilizes Norgen’s microScript Reverse Transcriptase, a mutant version of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MuLV) Reverse Transcriptase. It has reduced RNase H activity and increased thermal stability.

The workflow of Norgen’s microScript microRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit involves a simple, single-tube set-up by the mixing of 2x Reaction Mix, Enzyme Mix and the RNA template. The reaction can then be carried out in a thermocycler. A poly (A) tail is first added to the RNA template, followed by cDNA synthesis using an adapter primer. In addition to the ease-of-use, the single-tube set-up provides superb consistency and sensitivity. The cDNA could be used in a PCR or qPCR amplification using a Universal PCR Reverse Primer and the forward primer that contains the sequence of the microRNA of interest. A single cDNA preparation could be used for PCR amplification of a number of different microRNAs. In addition, the cDNA preparation could be used for PCR or qPCR detection (using gene-specific forward and reverse primers) of mRNA or large RNA if total RNA preparation was the starting template. This could allow for parallel evaluation of expression level of microRNAs and microRNA-targets.
