Both high molecular weight DNA (greater than 1 kb in size; mostly cell associated) and the smaller DNA (150 – 250 bp; derived from the circulation) is effectively isolated and purified using a rapid and convenient spin column protocol. This kit can be used to isolate DNA from a broad range of viruses in urine as well. Salts, metabolic wastes, proteins and other contaminants are removed to yield inhibitor-free DNA for use in sensitive applications. The DNA is of excellent quality for various downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and DNA fingerprinting, methylation studies and more.
This kit is fully compatible with Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes.

Background
DNA found in urine can be divided into 2 basic categories. The larger species, genomic-DNA (gDNA), is generally greater than 1 kb in size, and appears to be derived mainly from exfoliated cells. The second species is smaller, generally between 150 and 250 bp (apoptotic-DNA), and derives, at least in part, from the circulation. The second species is also considered as an RNA/DNA hybrid as reported by Halicka et al. (2000). Both types of DNA can be isolated reliably using this kit.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are highly promising tools for both in vitro and in vivo gene transfer. Norgen’s AAV Purification Kits provide fast and simple procedures for concentrating and purifying AAV vectors from cell lysate and cell culture media. Purification is based on precipitation onto Norgen Biotek’s proprietary resin. Contaminating cellular debris is largely removed from the sample via a centrifugation step, while contaminating DNA and RNA is reduced using enzymatic digestion. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro and in vivo transduction experiments.
AAV Purification Kit
Norgen’s AAV Purification Kit contains sufficient materials for 15 preparations (33.5 mL per prep of supernatant (SN) or a total of 500 mL of supernatant input). Approximately 1 mL of cell pellet can be purified per prep, up to a maximum of 15 mL of cell pellet in total for the entire kit. Up to 33X sample concentration.
AAV Purification Mini Kit
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 0.5-8 mL of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (200 µL). Preparation time for 4 samples is 1.5 hours, with 45 minutes of hands-on time.
AAV Purification Midi Kit
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 8 mL up to 45 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1 mL). The kit may be used to purify up to 8 x 25 mL or 4 x 45 mL of samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 4 samples is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, with 1.5 hours of hands on time.
AAV Purification Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 45 mL to 90 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 200X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1-10 mL) using the optional concentration step. The kit may be used to purify up to 1 x 900 mL samples or 10 x 45-90 mL samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 1 x 900 mL sample is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours, with an optional concentration step requiring an additional 30 min.
