Large Capacity High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge

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).

Description 

The PM2510 ExcelBand™ Enhanced 3-color Regular Range Protein Marker is a ready-to-use three-color protein standard with 10 pre-stained proteins covering a wide range of molecular weights from 10 to 180 kDa in Tris-Glycine Buffer (9 to 170 kDa in Bis-Tris (MOPS) buffer and 10 to 170 kDa Bis-Tris (MES) buffer). Proteins are covalently coupled with a blue chromophore except for two reference bands (one green and one red band at 25 kDa and 75 kDa respectively) when separated on SDS-PAGE (Tris-Glycine buffer). PM2510 ExcelBand™ Enhanced 3-color Regular Range Protein Marker is designed for monitoring protein separation during SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, verification of Western transfer efficiency on membranes (PVDF, nylon, or nitrocellulose) and for approximating the size of proteins.

Features

• Ready-to-use — Premixed with a loading buffer for direct loading, no need to boil.
• Two reference bands — 75 kDa (red) and 25 kDa (green)

Contents 

Approximately 0.2~0.6 mg/ml of each protein in the buffer (20 mM Tris-phosphate (pH 7.5), 2% SDS, 3.6 M urea, and 15% (v/v) glycerol).

Quality Control

Under suggested conditions, PM2510 ExcelBand™ Enhanced 3-color Regular Range Protein Marker resolves 10 major bands in 15% SDS-PAGE (Tris-Glycine buffer, MOPS, and MES buffer) and after Western blotting to nitrocellulose membrane. 

Storage 

4°C for 3 months
-20°C for long term storage

Description 

The DM1160 FluoroBand™ 50 bp Fluorescent DNA Ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with high sensitivity DNA binding fluorescent dye and loading dye for direct gel loading. The DNA Ladder DM1160 is composed of 17 individual DNA fragments: 1.5k, 1.2k, 1k, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, and 50 bp derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA; these bands can be visualized when illuminated with 470 nm blue light or a UV light. This product contains two enhanced bands (500 bp and 200 bp) for easier reference. In addition, the low range Orange G tracking dye which mimics the migration of a 50 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis is also added for real time monitoring. Real time observation of the electrophoresis is also possible if compatible light source is fitted to the electrophoresis tank. 

Features

• Sharp bands
• Quick reference— enhanced bands 
• Ready-to-use— premixed with loading dye for direct loading
• Stable— room temperature storage over 6 months
• Directly observed by UV or blue light— premixed with high sensitive DNA fluorescent dye

Source 

Phenol extracted PCR products and dsDNA digested with specific restriction enzymes, equilibrated in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 10 mM EDTA.

54 µg/ 500 µl 

Recommended loading volume 

5 µl/ well

Storage

Protected from light 
Room temperature for 6 months
