This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, as well as from the contaminating species found in urine such as glucose and salts, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, Northern blotting, NGS, and expression array assays. Multiple samples can be processed in 20 minutes.
Background
RNA biomarkers from exfoliated cells can be used as non-invasive tools for a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers.

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
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.

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.
