Fast and easy processing using rapid and convenient spin-columns
Isolate high quality and high yield DNA
DNA is free of inhibitors and ready for downstream use including SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and short-tandem repeat (STR) genotyping
This kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Using formalin to fix tissues leads to crosslinking of the nucleic acids and proteins, and the process of embedding the tissue samples can also lead to fragmentation of the nucleic acids over time. Norgen’s FFPE DNA Purification Kit provides conditions that allow for the partial reversing of the formalin modifications, resulting in a high quality and yield of nucleic acids. The purified DNA is of high yield and integrity and is free of inhibitors, ready for use in a number of downstream applications including qPCR, mutation screening, microarray analysis, sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and short-tandem repeat (STR) genotyping. The protocol can be completed in as little as 1 hour.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. The Proteinase K should be stored at -20°C upon arrival and after reconstitution. This kit is stable for 1 year after the date of shipment.

The PCR Decontamination Kit can remove contaminating DNA in PCR master mixes, without reduction of PCR sensitivity.
The double-strand specific property of the dsDNase allows decontamination with primers and probe present.
Efficient for end-point PCR, probe-based qPCR, and some SYBR based qPCR mixes.
Contaminating bacterial DNA can be reduced to levels below the detection limit.
Fast and easy protocol.
Flat NTCs (No Template Controls).
Decontamination of master mixes without reduction of sensitivity has always been a challenge. Especially when minor amounts of DNA are targeted, contaminating DNA is a major problem. Any loss of sensitivity in the qPCR assay caused by the decontamination protocol is unacceptable.
In Figure 1, it is demonstrated that the PCR decontamination kit can remove contaminating DNA from a qPCR mix to non-detectable levels (flat NTC), without affecting the sensitivity of the qPCR.

Purification and enrichment of intact exosomes from plasma, serum, urine, cell culture media and saliva in less than 30 minutes.
Versatile sample input ranging from 250 µL to 30 mL
Urine Exosome Purification Mini Kit (250 µL – 1 mL urine)
Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit (2 mL – 10 mL urine)
Urine Exosome Purification Maxi Kit (11 mL – 30 mL urine)
Exosome purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin separating matrix through exosomes’ surface proteins.
No precipitation reagents, overnight incubation, protease or coagulant treatments required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration or special syringes required
Purify intact exosomes with a size ranging from 40-200 nm depending on sample input type
Purified exosomes are compatible with functional studies.
Purified exosomes are free from any protein-bound cell-free circulating RNA
Purified exosomes are compatible with NanoSight® or Electron Microscopy for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.
Exosomal RNA can be extracted from the purified exosomes using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Purification technology or any other RNA extraction method.
The Urine Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for pure intact exosomes from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 µL to 30 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different urine 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 RNA gene expression.
NanoSight® Analysis
Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.
Exosomal RNA Analysis
Exosomal RNA can be isolated using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit from exosomes enriched using Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray or NGS and for Biomarker discovery.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These kits are stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.
Important Note Urine samples stored at -70°C, -20°C or at 4°C will develop some precipitation due to the aggregation of some of the highly abundant proteins in urine. Eliminating these precipitates using centrifugation or filtration may cause the loss of exosomes. Furthermore, these precipitates may affect the quality of the purified nucleic acid. We recommend the use of Norgen’s Urine Preservative when collecting urine samples, which is designed for the preservation of nucleic acids and proteins in fresh urine samples at ambient temperatures. The components of the Urine Preservative allow samples to be stored for over 2 years at room temperature with no detected degradation of urine DNA, RNA or proteins. Norgen’s Urine Preservative is available as a liquid format in Norgen’s Urine Preservative Single Dose Ampules, as well as in a dried format in Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes.
