Milenia GenLine Extraction System

Overview

• Rapid and efficient removal of abundant proteins from serum and plasma samples
• Process 10 samples in 30 minutes
• Allows for visualization of low abundance proteins
• Convenient and affordable spin column protocol
• Generic protocol allows for depletion from human and other animal samples
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix

This kit provides a fast and simple procedure for the effective depletion of major serum proteins including albumin, α-antitrypsin, transferrin and haptoglobin from serum and plasma samples.  Such abundant proteins usually obscure less abundant proteins in gel electrophresis making them difficult to visualize and recover.  The kit reduces sample complexity to allow for convenient investigation of less abundant proteins.  In other applications such as mass spectroscopy, fractionating abundant proteins improves the resolution of less abundant proteins.  The kit is ‘generic’ in that it is not antibody-based and can thus be used to deplete abundant proteins from any starting material – human or various other animals – making it more versatile, flexible and affordable than other kits.   Resulting proteins are ready for a range of applications including 2D gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, Mass Spectrometry, Protein microarrays, DIGE (Difference Gel Electrophoresis) and more.

Description

Saxitoxins (STXs) are naturally occurring alkaloids produced by some marine dinoflagellates and by strains of various species of freshwater cyanobacteria.  Saxitoxin is one of the prevalent paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). It belongs to a family of potent neurotoxins with a molecular weight around 300 Da. Saxitoxin and its derivatives are alkaloids composed of a tetrahydropurine ring system with a highly polar guanidinium group. Due to their significant toxicity, saxitoxins are closely monitored in marine environments where they can accumulate during harmful algal blooms (HABs).  In 2009 an action level of 0.6ppb (600ppt) was recommended by EFSA as a guidance framework have been established to manage saxitoxin levels in water.

Overview

• ASTM Type I Water
• Produced by reverse osmosis, ion-exchange, electro-deionization, ultrafiltration, UV treatment (UVC & 185 nm), 0.1 μm membrane filtration
• Nuclease-free, protease-free, endotoxin-free
• Suitable for molecular biology applications (qPCR, NGS etc.)
• Suitable for cell culture applications
• Produced in an ISO certified GMP laboratory
• Water system is routinely monitored for compliance with QC standards

The Norgen water purification system has been designed in conjunction with experts from Millipore Sigma. The Ultrapure NFW is purified in a two-stage process. The first stage, to produce type II water, includes pre-treatment with activated charcoal and polyphosphate, this water then undergoes reverse osmosis, electro-deionization and ion exchange to remove contaminants as well as UV treatment for disinfection. The Pure water then flows to a second system in a clean room with an additional 4 layers of purification. After passing through an additional ion exchange column, the water is then subjected to Ultrafiltration to remove particulates, bacteria, & ionic contaminants down to trace level, the water is then treated with UV light (182 nm wavelength) to break down organic matter. Lastly a second Ultrafilter for the production of pyrogen-, nuclease- and bacteria-free water at 18.2 MΩ. This water is of utmost purity and suitable for direct use in molecular biology applications such as qPCR and NGS, as well as cell culture and other applications.
