Overview

• Extract total RNA, including virus & viroid RNA
• Robust lysis buffer is well-suited to even challenging samples such as pine needle, grape leaf, etc
• Isolate total RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
• Isolated RNA is of high quality, integrity and diversity
• Also available in 96-well format for high throughput applications
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, including virus and viroid RNA, from a wide range of plants. Total RNA can be purified from fresh or frozen plant tissues, plant cells or filamentous fungi samples using this kit. All sizes of RNA are purified, including microRNA (miRNA) . The procedure is rapid and convenient. 

The RNA is purified without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest quality, and 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.  

Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit is also available in a 96-well (High Throughput) format for high throughput applications.  Purification with the 96-well plates can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.

DBCO-PEG36-TFP ester is an amine-reactive, labeling reagent used to modify proteins, antibodies, and other amine-containing biopolymers. The hydrophilic PEG spacer arm provides a long and flexible connection that minimizes steric hindrance involved with ligation to complementary azide-containing molecules. The TFP ester is less susceptible to undergo hydrolysis compared to the NHS ester. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (HMW, Magnetic Beads)

The Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (HMW, Magnetic Beads) provides a reliable and fast process for extracting high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA from cells, blood, and tissues using Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) magnetic beads. With our proprietary magnetic beads technology, the kit eliminates the tedious centrifuge steps for columns. The kit provides a reliable and simple approach for high-quality genomic DNA isolation with fast magnetic response time and high binding capacity.

The extracted HMW genomic DNA size ranges are dependent on the beads resuspension: 50-150 kb by tube tapping and 40-100 kb by tube vortexing. Purified DNA is recovered at high yield and high purity without RNA contamination. The typical purity ratios of A260/A280 are around 1.8-2.0, and A260/A230 are around 2.2-2.5. Purified HMW genomic DNA is suitable for applications such as long-read sequencing, linked-read genome assembly, long range PCR, optical mapping, and other general applications.

Features

• High molecular weight DNA: 50 kb to 150 kb
• High purity
• Simple magnetic beads method
  • No centrifuge needed
  • No column needed
  • No vacuum needed

A portion of the extracted genomic DNA samples were loaded on a PFGE gel with a DNA ladder indicated. Sample A: liver tissue; Sample B: intestine tissue; Sample C: whole blood; Sample D: cultured 293T cells.

Cultured Cell samples

Cultured cells are collected and are resuspended in a buffer and then lysed with a lysis buffer, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in the Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.

---

Blood samples

Whole blood is resuspended in the RBC buffer to remove RBC. The remaining leucocytes are lysed with a lysis buffer, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.

Tissue samples

Tissues are homogenized and lysed, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.
