The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.
A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on different numeric thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in recreational waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions—such as posting information about harmful algal blooms (HABs), issuing a recreational public health advisory, or temporarily closing recreational waters through a no contact advisory—depending on the severity of the bloom event.
Microcystin-LR
Informational sign postings about HABs at recreational waters: < 6 μg/L Recreational public health advisory: 6 μg/L Elevated recreational public health advisory (e.g. no contact): 20 μg/L
HiPure Bacterial RNA Kit uses silica gel column purification to simplify the extraction. The whole process does not require phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The kit is suitable for efficiently extracting RNA from various bacterial samples. The purified RNA can be directly used for RT-PCR, Northern hybridization, etc. The kit has included lysozyme and glass beads, which can be used to treat gram-negative bacteria which is easy to be lysed, as well as gram-positive bacteria which is hard to be lysed, including enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus, etc.

Principle
Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.
Advantages
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 30 minutes
High purity – the purified RNA can be directly used in various downstream applications
High recovery – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
Good repeatability – silica gel column purification technology can obtain ideal results every time
Broad spectrum – it can deal with various bacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria that are difficult to be lysed
Sufficient components – the kit contains carried lysozyme and glass beads

Storage and Stability
The kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Due to the lack of antibacterial agents, RNase Free Water may be contaminated by bacterial or fungal when placed or operated at room temperature. It is recommended to pack and store at 2-8°C to reduce contamination.

Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality rate among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium that could survive high and low temperatures, low pH. It is a rare causative agent of mastitis in cow. However, due to its ability to resist various food processing technologies as well as to grow at low temperature, L. monocytogenes is know to be associated with both raw and pasteurized milk, as well as dairy products such as cheese. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible.
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.
AAV Purification from any input – cell fraction or media fraction
High AAV recovery, up to 90%
No specialized equipment needed
Purification from a variety of AAV serotypes (including AAV6 and AAV9)
Yields highly active AAV for in vivo and in vitro experiments
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are highly promising tools for both in vitro and in vivo gene transfer. Norgen’s AAV Purification Kits provide fast and simple procedures for concentrating and purifying AAV vectors from cell lysate and cell culture media. Purification is based on precipitation onto Norgen Biotek’s proprietary resin. Contaminating cellular debris is largely removed from the sample via a centrifugation step, while contaminating DNA and RNA is reduced using enzymatic digestion. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro and in vivo transduction experiments.
AAV Purification Kit
Norgen’s AAV Purification Kit contains sufficient materials for 15 preparations (33.5 mL per prep of supernatant (SN) or a total of 500 mL of supernatant input). Approximately 1 mL of cell pellet can be purified per prep, up to a maximum of 15 mL of cell pellet in total for the entire kit. Up to 33X sample concentration.
AAV Purification Mini Kit
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 0.5-8 mL of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (200 µL). Preparation time for 4 samples is 1.5 hours, with 45 minutes of hands-on time.
AAV Purification Midi Kit
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 8 mL up to 45 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1 mL). The kit may be used to purify up to 8 x 25 mL or 4 x 45 mL of samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 4 samples is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, with 1.5 hours of hands on time.
AAV Purification Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)
Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 45 mL to 90 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 200X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1-10 mL) using the optional concentration step. The kit may be used to purify up to 1 x 900 mL samples or 10 x 45-90 mL samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 1 x 900 mL sample is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours, with an optional concentration step requiring an additional 30 min.
