Detail
Overview
Peelable heat sealing film which is made using gas permeable grid lacquer paper. This seal is suitable for insect studies and seed storage.
Heat sealing is a quick and cost effective method of plate sealing
Our Gas PermASeal II Heat Seal is a paper with a grid lacquer coating which is porous and gas permeable
The Gas PermeASeal II Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
The seal can be removed by peeling, or it can be pierced with a pipette tip manually or using a liquid handling robot
The Seal has a temperature range from -20°C to 80°C
It can be used for insect and seed storage, as it enables gas exchange, whilst providing an inert surface with no adhesive to interfere with the well contents
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
Also available in roll format compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

Product Info
Overview
Collect from nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, and more
Completely stabilize microbiota profiles from the point-of-collection
Minimize bias in data analysis: NGS (Metagenomics/Microbiome), PCR and microarrays
No need to immediately process samples: ship and store at ambient temperatures
DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
Renders sample non-infectious for safe and easy shipping
Compatible with DNA isolation kits and protocols: Optimized isolation procedure using Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit
Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System is designed for collection, ambient storage and transport of DNA from samples collected using a swab, including nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, etc. The Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System contains Norgen’s Swab Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the specimen using the provided swab, and then transfers the swab into the Swab Preservative. The Swab 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 Swab 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 Swab Preservative allow DNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 years.
DNA Isolation from Preservative
Swab samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System are compatible with most DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with most of Norgen Biotek’s DNA isolation kits and reagents. An optimized isolation procedure is available as part of Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit (Cat. 64100).
When stored at room temperature, unused Norgen Swab Preservative Tubes are stable through to the collect-before date without any reduction in performance. Please see the device insert or tube label for collect-before date.
Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.
Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms)
Product Info
Document
Product Info
The NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for construction of high quality libraries for next generation sequencing. The kit uses intact genomic DNA (EDTA-free DNA or DNA resuspended in TE buffer) as input DNA without an additional DNA fragmentation step. Our technology provides a fast and simple workflow. DNA libraries can be generated around 2 hours with only 10 min hands-on time. Library multiplexing is possible.
NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit Workflow
The incorporation of DNA fragmentation in the kit makes it possible to directly use intact genomic DNA as input DNA without the need of mechanical DNA shearing or enzymatic DNA fragmentation. The NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit does not generate sequencing bias as compared to library using mechanical sheared DNA as input. Sequence coverage is also consistent between enzymatic shearing and mechanical shearing. The library size is inversely correlated with the incubation time of step 1 at 20°C.
Three index types are available for the kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30026): Libraries do not have index.
Index (Cat.# 30028): Each of the index primers contains a unique index sequence of 6 bases. Library multiplexing for 48 samples is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30030): Library multiplexing for 96 samples is possible. With the unique features of our 4-Base Difference Index System, the index sequence is 8-base long and each index has 4 bases different from others. Our unique dual index primers effectively identify sequencing errors such as index hopping, mis-assignment of reads, and de-multiplexing errors etc. The unique dual index primers set consists of 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34028).
Kit features:
1.5-hour protocol from intact genomic DNA to NGS library
Intact genomic DNA as input, DNA fragmentation is not needed.
Works with both EDTA-free DNA and DNA resuspended in TE buffer
Library conversion efficiency: 100 ng, 300 ng and 500 ng of intact genomic DNA were used as input.
The library size is inversely correlated with the incubation time of step 1 at 20°C.
NGS data comparison: enzymatic shearing versus mechanical shearing
Enzymatic shearing • DNA shearing and library prep: BioDynami NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit Mechanical shearing • DNA shearing: Covaris sonication • Library prep: BioDynami NGS DNA Library Prep Kit.
