Overview

• Detection kits for Legionella sp.
• Available for TaqMan format for analysis

Norgen’s Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit is designed for the detection of Legionella sp. specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan technology. This kit is designed for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. The detection of Legionella sp. specific DNA is based on TaqMan PCR providing a simple, reliable and rapid result for the detection of Legionella sp. infection. Norgen’s Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit includes a PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition, and to validate the quality of the sample and the detection result. The Legionella sp. TaqMan PCR Kit comprises Master Mix for the target and PCR control detection, Primer & Probe Mix, as well as a positive control and a negative control (nuclease-free water) to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents.

Introduction

The kit offers the unique feature to isolate total RNA including small RNA and DNA from serum and plasma without the need to resort to the cumbersome phenol/chloroform extraction or a time consuming proteinase digest. RNA purified using the kit is ready for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample material is denatured in Lysis Buffer. The protein is then precipitated by Protein Precipitation Solution and pelleted by centrifugation. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption.The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally RNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 60 minutes by column method

Storage and Stability

MagPure Particle N should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (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.

Overview

• Rapid isolation of both small and large species of DNA from urine
• Convenient spin column format
• Effective removal of PCR inhibitors
• Purified DNA is highly suited to sensitive downstream applications
• Allows for the purification of viral DNA from urine

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.

Urine DNA Isolation Kit

This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 50 μL to 1.75 mL of urine. Multiple samples can be processed in 30 minutes.

Urine DNA Isolation Kit (Slurry Format)

This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 3 mL to 25 mL. Multiple samples can be processed in 30 minutes. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes.

Urine DNA Isolation Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)

This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 25 mL of urine up to 80 mL. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes.

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.
