Introduction

The HiPure Liquid RNA & miRNA Kit integrates phenol/guanidine-based sample lysis and silica membrane purification of total RNA. MagZol LS Reagent, included in the kits, is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine thiocyanate designed to facilitate lysis of liquid sample and inhibit RNase. The high lysis efficiency of the reagent and the subsequent removal of contaminants by organic phase extraction enable the use of up to 0.25ml liquid sample per mini spin column.

Principle

0.25ml liquid samples are homogenized in 0.75ml MagZol LS Reagent. After addition of chloroform, the homogenate is separated into aqueous and organic phases by centrifugation. The upper, aqueous phase is extracted, and ethanol is added to provide appropriate binding conditions. The sample is then applied to the spin column, where the total RNA (up to 100 µg) binds to the membrane and phenol and other contaminants are efficiently washed away. High-quality RNA is then eluted in 30–100µl of RNase-free water.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes by using column purification method
• Safety – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – direct lysis of blood, plasma and other samples without separation of leukocytes

Storage and Stability

MagZol LS Reagent should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Name of Product

Aspergillus Antigen
(Galactomannan) – Rapid Test

Catalog Number

ASP-025

Short Info

This Rapid Test is for the detection of specific Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen in Serum or Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL).

This product is manufactured by GaDia Diagnostics in Switzerland and distributed in Germany exclusively by Milenia Biotec.

Method/Platform

Immunochromatographic Rapid Test

Range/Assay Sensivity

Test Principle

The principle of the test is colloidal gold immunochromatography. If the sample is positive, the antigens in the sample react with the red-colored nanoparticles and form a complex (Antigen – anti-Aspergillus monoclonal antibodies – gold nanoparticles), which was previously pre-dried on the conjugate pad. The mixture then moves upward on the membrane by capillary action. As the sample flows through the test membrane, the binding conjugate complexes migrate. The anti-Aspergillus antibodies present on the membrane (Test Line) capture the colored conjugate complex and a red line will appear.

Description 

Q-PAGE™ TGN (Tris-Glycine Novel) Precast Gels are ready-to-use acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE running in Tris-Glycine buffer system. With unique formula, Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels perform enhanced speed, better separation, and longer shelf life as compared with conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. The protein migration patterns in Q-PAGE™ TGN series, however, are similar with typical Laemmli Tris-HCl gels, and thus Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are compatible to traditional SDS-PAGE and subsequent analyses. 

Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 15%) and fixed (10%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12- and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP4XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP5XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems. 

Key Features

• User-friendly gel cassette:
  • Numbered and framed wells for sample loading
  • Labeled warning sign and green tape as reminder
• Enhanced gel performance: 
  • Enhanced gel electrophoresis speed 
  • Better band separation 
  • Stable for shipping at ambient temperature
• Easy compatibility: 
  • Available as homogeneous and adjusted gradient gels for a wide range of protein separation.
  • Compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems 

Storage and stability

Store Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels at 4°C for periods up to 12 months.

Do not freeze Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels. Remove tape and comb before electrophoresis. 

Keep Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels flat during storage.
