Magnetic Beads (tRNA Purification)

Overview

• Detection kits for Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhoeae
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of Chlamydia, is a Gram negative bacteria. Transmission of the bacteria occurs via contact with infected bodily fluids which then infect mucosal membranes. It can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and infect the eyes causing conjunctivitis. The genital infection causes urethritis, epididymitis and prostatitis in males and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in females with an increased risk of contracting HIV. The infection can be treated with a course of antibiotics. Sexually transmitted infections in females are most often asymptomatic, but can be noticeable in chronic pain of the pelvic region, vaginal bleeding and painful urination. Infection of the ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can lead to difficulties in conceiving, increased risk of ectopic pregnancy or infertility. Infections in males are more likely to be symptomatic, causing painful urination, discharge from the penis and swollen testicles and may eventually cause infertility if left untreated.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative coccus of the Neisseria genus. N. gonorrhoeae is usually seen in pairs infecting human cells. It has a circular DNA genome of approximately 1Mbp encoding over 2000 genes. N. gonorrhoeae is transmitted by sexual contact and usually causes infection in cells of the mucous membrane of the male urethra or the endocervix and urethra in females. During infection, polysaccharides are released from the bacteria that stimulate host cell production of tumour necrosis factors that cause an inflammatory response. There is no vaccine against N. gonorrhoeae infection and antibiotic resistance is beginning to increase, therefore treatment includes a course of antibiotics that will be effective against resistant strains. Complications in males caused by the infection can result in prostatitis or orchitis if the bacteria spread. In females, invasion of the fallopian tubes or ovaries can result in salpingitis or ovaritis respectively, with any of these infections possibly resulting in sterility.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.

Overview

• Simultaneous isolation of both host RNA and microbial RNA (universal protocol)
• Isolate full diversity of RNA from large RNA down to small and microRNAs
• Eliminates PCR inhibitors including humic acids
• High quality RNA for sensitive downstream application
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit provides a convenient and rapid method to purify total RNA from small amounts of stool samples. All types of stool samples can be processed with this kit, including animal fecal samples, manure and samples collected using Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Tubes (Cat. 45660). The kit removes all traces of humic acids using rapid and simple spin column procedures. Bead tubes are also provided for effective homogenization of stool. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA and small interfering RNA. Both host and microbial RNA is recovered. The protocol does not rely on the use of phenol or chloroform, thereby providing a user friendly procedure and allowing high-throughput analysis. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR and reverse transcription PCR for gene expression analysis. The procedure can be completed in approximately 30 minutes for 10 samples.
