Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable, reproducible, and simple procedure for isolating circulating RNA and exosomal RNA from various urine inputs ranging from 250 μL and up to 30 mL. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extensions, and expression array assays.
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Mini Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 2 mL
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Midi Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 2mL to 10mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of urine that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Maxi Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 10 mL to 30 mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of urine that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These kits are 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.
The Primerdesign genesig Kit for Shigella species (Shigella_spp) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of Shigella_spp genomes. The kit is designed to have a broad detection profile. Specifically, the primers represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design.
The dynamics of genetic variation means that new sequence information may become available after the initial design. Primerdesign periodically reviews the detection profiles of our kits and when required releases new versions.
The target sequence is within the virulence plasmid pCP301 (VirA) which is carried by nearly all clinical isolates of shigella. This target has previously been shown to be a good genetic marker for Shigella in other real time PCR based studies (Hiroshi Fukushima et.al 2003.) The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with over 95% of reference sequences in the NCBI database based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

Exceptional value for money Rapid detection of all clinically relevant subtypes Positive copy number standard curve for quantification Highly specific detection profile High priming efficiency Broad dynamic detection range (>6 logs) Sensitive to < 100 copies of target
Accurate controls to confirm findings
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.
