The PCR-free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit was developed for construction of DNA libraries for next generation sequencing (illumina platform). The kit adds 3′-dT-tailed library adapters to both ends of DNA fragments efficiently. The kit uses double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library construction, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic methods (BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes etc.) and physical methods (sonication, nebulization etc.).

PCR-Free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
PCR amplification is a standard step for library preparation of Next-Generation Sequencing. The PCR is used to amplify fully ligated DNA fragments and to add index information to the libraries. The indexing is for the pooling of the library samples in an effort to reduce the sequencing cost.
However, PCR introduces uneven amplification of DNA in some DNA regions with extreme GC-contents and secondary structures. This bias can cause very low sequencing coverage in such regions. DNA sequencing in these regions is still a huge challenge.
PCR-free library prep can reduce library bias and minimize sequencing gaps. The sequencing data from PCR-free library samples have even genomic coverage with few gaps and better depth in GC-rich regions. Our PCR-free NGS kit offers optimal coverage in the regions that are traditionally difficult, such as high-GC content regions, low-GC content regions, and repetitive sequence regions.
Two index types are available for the kit:
Non-index: Libraries do not have index.
Index: Each library contains one i5 index and one i7 index. Library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible. List of indexes can be downloaded Here.

Overview
Detection kits for Candida albicans
CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Candida albicans is an opportunistic yeast and is the most common fungal pathogen found in the human body. C. albicans can be detected in the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and vagina of approximately half of healthy adults. It is typically a commensal organism and makes up part of the natural human microflora; however it can overgrow and become pathogenic as a result of various conditions. For example, individuals who have taken recent courses of antibiotics, have a weakened immune system or have diabetes have an increased risk of developing a Candida albicans infection. When an overgrowth occurs, this can lead to common infections such as urinary tract infections, genital yeast infections, oral thrush, and mucocutaneous candidiasis. In the more severe cases, when Candida albicans enters the bloodstream or organs, it can lead to loss of sight, blood and bone infections, endocarditis, meningitis or inflammation of the intraabdominal lining.

Candida albicans TaqMan PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions
Specific Primer/Probe mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest
Nuclease-free water
Can be used together with Norgen’s PCR Master Mix (#28007) or customer supplied master mix
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. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
These kits provides a rapid method for the purification of total RNA from non-preserved saliva and nasal/throat swabs, and from preserved saliva collected on Norgen’s Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices Dx (Cat. 53800) or preserved swabs collected in Norgen’s Total Nucleic Acid Preservative Tubes Dx (Cat. Dx69200). Purification is based on using Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix. RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The chemistry employed in the kit allows the purification of total RNA, including viral and bacterial RNA, irrespective of size or GC content. The purified RNA is ideal for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes.
Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kit Dx (Spin Column)
This kit is optimized to be used with any downstream application employing enzymatic amplification or other enzymatic modifications of RNA followed by signal detection or amplification. Any diagnostic results generated using the RNA isolated with Norgen’s Saliva / Swab RNA Purification Kit Dx in conjunction with an in vitro diagnostic assay should be interpreted with regard to other clinical or laboratory findings.
To minimize irregularities in diagnostic results, suitable controls for downstream applications should be used.
