Bind and elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
Concentrate circulating RNA, exosomal RNA and cell-free circulating DNA into a flexible elution volume ranging from 10 µL to 25 µL
Isolate inhibitor-free nucleic acids
Purify high-quality RNA and DNA 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 Plasma/Serum RNA/DNA Purification Mini Kit provides a fast, reliable, reproducible and simple procedure for the sequential isolation of circulating RNA, exosomal RNA and Cell-Free Circulating DNA (cfc) from the same Plasma/Serum sample. It can sequentially isolated RNA and DNA from small plasma/serum input ranging from 10 µL to 200 µL. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of circulating RNA, including microRNA, all sizes of exosomal RNA as well as all sizes of cfc-DNA from fresh or frozen plasma or serum samples. Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require Phenol/Chloroform or any Protease treatments for the isolation of plasma/serum RNA or DNA . RNA and DNA can be eluted into a flexible elution volume ranging from 10 µL to 25 µL. Purified RNA can be used in a number of sensitive downstream applications including reverse transcription qPCR, reverse transcription PCR, NGS, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays. Purified DNA can be used in a number of sensitive downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR and Southern Blot analysis.
Background
Typical yields of free-circulating, exosomal RNA and cfc-DNA vary depending on the input sample, as the amount of RNA and/or DNA present in plasma and serum will depend upon the health status of the individual. Normally, the RNA/DNA yield from plasma or serum is highly variable (range from 1 to 100 ng/mL). Variability is also observed between samples collected from the same donor at different times during the day. This kit is suitable for the isolation of RNA/DNA from serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
Note: Do not exceed the recommended sample input volume of 200 µL.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions 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.

Lupus test – La antigen
Document
Lupus test – La antigen lateral flow serology test. Rapidly detect antibodies targeting the human La autoantigen. 10 tests per kit.
About La: The La autoantigen has been implicated to be important for many different cellular processes including RNP maturation, internal ribosome-entry-site-mediated translation, mRNA stabilization, and transcription termination. La binds to the poly U tracts of polymerase III precursor RNAs and certain polymerase II transcribed RNAs.
Attogene La antigen serology test can be used to detect autoantibodies targeting the La Protein found in human Sera and differentiate IgG and IgM.
Eight discrete bands, ranging from 100 to 1,000 bases
Higher intensity band at 500 bases for easy reference
No need for staining or destaining as loading dye contains ethidium bromide
Convenient lyophilized format provides better product stability
The Norgen 100 b RNA Ladder is a set of RNA transcripts derived from recombinant DNA templates. This ladder is suitable for precise sizing of small RNA molecules using native or denaturing agarose gels, and can be easily visualized under UV.
To reconstitute the lyophilized RNA ladder, add 250 µL of 1x loading buffer to each 25 loads vial and vortex gently. Heat at 80°C for 10 minutes. Incubate on ice for 1 min. Load 10 µL on a 1.5-2% gel. For optimal results, use Norgen 2x loading buffer with each RNA sample. There is no need for staining and destaining denaturing gels since Norgen’s loading buffer contains ethidium bromide.
