Rapid and simple procedure to generate digested peptides
Simultaneous digestion, purification and concentration at once
Peptide generation is complete, with no generation of additional artifacts being detected in mass spectrometry
Peptides are ready for applications such as mass spectrometry and SDS-PAGE
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix
This kit is highly efficient in the enzymatic digestion of simple and complex protein samples using trypsin and the subsequent purification of the resulting peptides using a convenient spin column format. Trypsin is added to the protein sample and bound to the column. Salts are washed away and the trypsin is then activated to digest proteins. Peptides are then eluted in a small volume and ready for downstream analysis. The peptides generated are complete, with no additional artifacts being detected in mass spectrometry. Fifteen micrograms of protein can be processed, digested and purified with each spin column with about 20 minutes of hands-on time (plus trypsin incubation). The simultaneous protein digestion and volumetric concentration of the purified peptides makes the kit a convenient method for preparing peptides to be analyzed by many downstream applications such as mass spectrometry and more.
Storage Conditions All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. Once opened, the solution should be stored at 4°C. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and concentrate high quality, high purity and inhibitor-free cell-free circulating and exosomal RNA using a convenient spin column method. These kits can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples 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 purified plasma/serum RNA is fully compatible with all downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive reverse transcription qPCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, expression array assays, and NGS. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS.
Background
Cell-free circulating RNA, including exosomal RNA in plasma or serum, has the potential to provide biomarkers for certain cancers and disease states, and includes tumor-specific extracellular RNA in the blood. Exosomes are 40 – 100 nm membrane vesicles, which are secreted by most cell types. Exosomes can be found in saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid and malignant ascitic fluids, among other biological fluids. Evidence has been accumulating recently that these vesicles act as cellular messengers, conveying information to distant cells and tissues within the body. The exosomes contain cell-specific proteins, lipids and RNAs, which are transported to other cells, where they can alter function and/or physiology. These exosomes may play a functional role in mediating adaptive immune responses to infectious agents and tumours, tissue repair, neural communication and transfer of pathogenic proteins. Recent work has demonstrated the presence of distinct subsets of microRNAs within exosomes which depend upon the tumour cell type from which they are secreted. For this reason, exosomal RNAs may serve as biomarkers for various diseases including cancer. As the RNA molecules encapsulated within exosomes are protected from degradation by RNAses, they can be efficiently recovered from biological fluids, such as plasma or serum.
EXTRAClean Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Mini Kit
This kit can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate, from volumes ranging from 50 μL to 200 μL. The purified plasma/serum RNA is eluted in a flexible final volume of 10 μL to 25 μL.
EXTRAClean Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Midi Kit
This utilizes a two-column method, and can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate, from volumes ranging from 250 μL to 1.5 mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of bodily fluids that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL.
EXTRAClean Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Maxi Kit
This kit can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate, from volumes ranging from 2 mL to 5 mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of bodily fluids that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL.
