Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) TaqMan PCR Lyophilized Kits

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 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.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers 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 up Slurry B1 and Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed. Slurry B1 contains a grey resin that will not dissolve when warmed.

The Bisulfite Sequencing Library Prep Kit (illumina platform) was developed for construction of NGS libraries using bisulfite treated DNA (50 ng – 500 ng) as input. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism known to play a critical role in gene regulation and genomic imprinting by blocking transcription factor access to promoters and enhancers. Bisulfite sequencing is a popular technique in biomedical research based on C to T conversion under the treatment of sodium bisulfite.

Recently, NGS became a powerful tool to identify the DNA methylation status at the whole genome level with single-base resolution. However, it is well known that bisulfite treatment of the NGS libraries causes tremendous damage to the libraries.

Bisulfite-Seq kit comparison

In the case of the regular bisulfite seq library preparation (library prep before bisulfite conversion), the DNA shearing equipment and the expensive methylated adaptors are required. In addition, the subsequent bisulfite conversion causes tremendous DNA damage to the constructed libraries.

BioDynami has developed a unique library prep technology to solve the problems. The technology uses bisulfite treated DNA as input to avoid the significant library loss caused by bisulfite conversion. Furthermore, DNA shearing step and expensive methylated adaptors are not required with our kit. The DNA polymerase in the kit has high-fidelity amplification ability and uracil tolerance which is ideal for amplification of bisulfite sequencing libraries. The final library is strand specific.

Bisulfite Sequencing Library Prep Kit Workflow

Three index types are available for the kit:

Non-index (Cat.# 30091): Libraries do not have index.

Index (Cat.# 30092): Each primer contains a unique barcode sequence of 6 bases to identify the individual library. Library multiplexing capacity is up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.

Unique dual index (Cat.# 30093): The multiplexing of bisulfite sequencing library is up to 96 samples with unique dual indexes. We used a Four-Base Difference Index System to generate indexes that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base index. The index primers remove NGS errors including index cross-contamination, index hopping, reads mis-assignment etc. Index information can be downloaded here.
