Description

The Primerdesign genesig Kit for Shigella species (Shigella_spp) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of Shigella_spp genomes. The kit is designed to have a broad detection profile. Specifically,  the primers represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design.

The dynamics of genetic variation means that new sequence information may become available after the initial design. Primerdesign periodically reviews the detection profiles of our kits and when required releases new versions.

The target sequence is within the virulence plasmid pCP301 (VirA) which is carried by nearly all clinical isolates of shigella. This target has previously been shown to be a good genetic marker for Shigella in other real time PCR based studies (Hiroshi Fukushima et.al 2003.) The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with over 95% of reference sequences in the NCBI database based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

Exceptional value for money
Rapid detection of all clinically relevant subtypes
Positive copy number standard curve for quantification
Highly specific detection profile
High priming efficiency
Broad dynamic detection range (>6 logs)
Sensitive to < 100 copies of target Accurate controls to confirm findings

Introduction

HiPure FFPE Nucleic acid Kit supplies a simple and rapid DNA extraction for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and sections samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology, no phenol-chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction only takes 20 minutes (not including digestion time). DNA can be directly used for downstream applications such as PCR, southern blot and viral DNA detection, etc.

Principle

Hipure FFPE Nuclear acid kit adopts silica gel column purification. The sample is deparaffinated by xylene and digested by lysate and protease. After de crosslinked at 90 ℃, DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. Adding ethanol to adjust the binding conditions, the sample is transferred to the column where DNA/RNA is adsorbed on the membrane and protein is removed without adsorption. Protein and other impurities are washed by buffer GW1, and the salt is removed by buffer GW2. Finally, the DNA / RNA is eluted by low salt buffer.

Advantages

• Safety – deparaffinating without contacting with xylene or other toxic solution
• Fast – without overnight incubation and digestion, several samples can be extracted within 2hours
• High efficiency -remove the formaldehyde modification of DNA, greatly enhancing the sensitivity of PCR

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 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. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Overview

• Extract high quality & quantity total RNA including miRNA
• No phenol step required; isolate all RNA in one fraction
• Bind & elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
• Very sensitive & linear down to a few cells without the need for carrier RNA
• Isolate from a wide variety of specimens
• Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
• Available in a variety of formats to suit your needs
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix

Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit (for the extraction of RNA from EV’s that have been isolated using IZON’s qEV columns) constitutes an all-in-one system for the isolation of exosomal RNA from exosomes previously isolated using IZON’s qEV columns or concentrated using IZON’s EV Concentration kit. This kit allows for the isolation of RNA from intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) where the purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin.

The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of extracellular vesicle RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PR, reverse transcription PCR, Nothern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature (15–25°C). This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
