Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation System is a complete system designed for collection, ambient storage and transport of nucleic acids from stool specimens. Each of the 50 clamshells contain: nitrile gloves, alcohol swabs, Fe-Col® Collection Paper, and Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Tube containing Norgen’s Stool Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the stool specimen using the provided Fe-Col® Collection Paper, and then transfers the stool into the Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Tube using the spoon attached to the lid. The sample is then mixed gently until the stool is well submerged under the preservative. The Stool 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 Stool Preservative allow samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 years for DNA and up to 7 days for RNA. To extend the stool RNA stability in the preservative, storage at -20°C or -70°C is recommended upon arrival at the testing facilities until RNA purification. The Stool Preservative also prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely.

Introduction

This product is suitable for rapid extraction of RNA (include miRNA) from tissue, cells, blood, s and other clinical samples. RNA can be used directly for RT-PCR, quantitative RT-PCR, test of virus DNA and so on.

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Isolation total RNA（miRNA）from tissue, cell using two columns and DNase plus reagent
Applications	RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, second generation sequencing
Products	RNA, miRNA
Purification method	Mini spin column
Purification technology	Silica technology
Process method	Manual (centrifugation or vacuum)
Sample type	Clinical tissues, cells, lymphocytes
Sample amount	Tissue: <20 mgCells: <5 x 106
Yield	2-50μg
Elution volume	≥30μl
Time per run	≤25 minutes

Principle

This product is based on silica column purification. Remove paraffin by Buffer DPS. Sample lysis withproteinase K digestion requires only 15 minutes. After lysis, samples are incubated at 80ºC for 15 minutes. Transfer to an adsorption column and RNA is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed andis removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, RNA was finally eluted with low-saltbuffer.

Advantages

• Efficient DNA removal – one step RNA extraction can effectively remove genomic DNA
• High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
• Fast – the whole extraction only takes 15-25 minutes
• Nontoxic – no toxic phenol chloroform extraction is required in the extraction

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. DNase I should be stored at -20°C. However, short-term storage (DNase I up to 1 weeks, Proteinase K up to 8 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

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.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen 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.
