Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads has been used for nucleic acids purification because they are effective, simple, and fast. The carboxyl groups coated beads are paramagnetic particles that reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, there is a drawback for magnetic beads that it can only purify DNA/RNA that are 100 base pairs or longer. tRNA and other DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered. We have developed Magnetic Beads (tRNA Purification) to overcome the hurdle.

Magnetic Beads (tRNA Purification)
Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads has been used for nucleic acids purification because they are effective, simple, and fast. The carboxyl groups coated beads are paramagnetic particles that reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, there is a drawback for magnetic beads that it can only purify DNA/RNA that are 100 base pairs or longer. tRNA and other DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered. We have developed Magnetic Beads(tRNA Purification) to overcome the hurdle.
The Magnetic Beads(tRNA Purification) solves the tRNA and short DNA/RNA purification problem. The beads with our proprietary technology purify tRNA effectively by removing impurities and unwanted components such as dNTPs, detergents, salts, proteins, and other contaminants. The magnetic bead reagents can be used for oligo (>70 nt) applications.
Workflow without large RNA/DNA contamination
In the case of samples contaminated with RNA/DNA such as rRNA and DNA, our magnetic beads can effectively remove RNA/DNA that are 180 nt and larger. Purified tRNA are ideal for applications requiring high quality, as the fragments are free of impurities and contaminants.
Workflow with large RNA/DNA contamination
Comparison of tRNA and 70 nt oligos recovery. BioDynami beads (tRNA purification) successfully recovered DNA fragments both yeast tRNA and 70 nt oligos.
Recovery of tRNA and 70 nt oligos with BioDynami magnetic Beads (tRNA Purification). Yeast tRNA and 70 nt oligos were used as input. Input and recovered oligos were quantified with ssDNA Quantification kit (BioDynami Cat. # 40043) and RNA Quantification kit (BioDynami Cat. # 40044).

The α-D-Glucuronidase test kit is a simple, reliable and accurate method for the measurement and analysis of α-D-glucuronidase in various enzyme preparations. The kit contains a pure aldotriouronic acid substrate and an α-D-glucuronidase (GH67) control enzyme.
New, improved substrate.
This kit contains highly purified, borohydride reduced aldotriouronic acid with a terminal α-D-glucuronic acid substitution, which is an excellent substrate for α-D-glucuronidases from GH67. This substrate can be also used for the measurement of α-D-glucuronidases from GH115, however the rate of hydrolysis compared to GH67 is reduced. Previously this kit contained a mixture of borohydride reduced aldouronic acids (tri:tetra:penta).

The α-D-Glucuronidase test kit is a simple, reliable and accurate method for the measurement and analysis of α-D-glucuronidase in various enzyme preparations. The kit contains a pure aldotriouronic acid substrate and an α-D-glucuronidase (GH67) control enzyme.
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.

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.
