Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA 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.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. 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.
Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

The Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for intact exosomes from different plasma/serum sample volumes ranging from 50 µL to 10 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different plasma/serum sample volumes, and these EVs are ready for any downstream application. The purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin.
These kits provide a clear advantage over other available methods since they do not require any special instrumentation, ultracentrifugation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the purified exosomes will not be contaminated with any other RNA-binding proteins that may contaminate your exosomal RNA, which is essential if studying exosomal transcripts.
NanoSight® Analysis
Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration
Exosomal RNA Analysis
To purify exosomes and isolate exosomal RNA, choose the Plasma/serum Exosome Purification and RNA isolation kits. The protocol is divided into 2 parts and an aliquot of purified exosomes can be taken for applications like NTA/TEM etc. before processing them for RNA isolation. Or you can use the Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit if you’ve already purified exosomes using a Norgen kit or another method. . Exosomal RNA isolation is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin without the need for phenol extractions or carrier RNA. This RNA is ideal for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray, or NGS and for biomarker discovery.

The NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for the construction of high quality FFPE DNA libraries using 10 ng to 400 ng of input DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. The DNA damage caused by fixation makes it difficult to construct high quality libraries. Our kit has been optimized to repair damaged DNA in the reactions. Multiplexing of the NGS FFPE DNA Library is possible.
NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
FFPE samples are a great resource for biomedical research. However, the methods for fixation and condition of storage significantly damage the DNA in the samples. Thus, the extraction of high quality DNA from FFPE samples is often a challenge. Low yield and low quality of FFPE DNA usually are common because of the limited tissue material and the DNA degradation.
As a result, it is usually difficult to construct high quality NGS libraries from low amount and low quality of FFPE DNA. In order to address this issue, we have developed the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit to make high quality libraries from the low input of FFPE DNA samples.
Three index types are available for the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30035): Libraries do not have index.
Index (Cat.# 30037): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode DNA (6 bases long) that can be used to identify individual library. Multiplexing of libraries is up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30039): FFPE DNA library multiplexing is possible with 96 samples based on the unique dual indexing system. Our unique Four–Base Difference Index System allows us to make indexes that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base index sequence. Our unique dual indexing primers can effectively remove NGS errors including index hopping, de-multiplexing errors, index cross-contamination, mis-assignments etc. The unique dual index primer set includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of i5 and i7 index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34037).
Kit advantages:
Comparison of library conversion efficiency under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
Comparison of library yield under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
