The Phosphate Assay Kit is a rapid, simple, reliable and accurate method for the specific measurement and analysis of phosphate in water, foodstuffs, beverages and other materials. The phosphate detection reaction employs the defined chemical substrate 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine ribonucleoside (MESG). In the presence of phosphate, the substrate is converted enzymatically by purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) to the products ribose 1-phosphate and 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine. An application note describes the dephosphorylation reaction of phytic acid using phytase and alkaline phosphatase (sold separately), and subsequent phosphate detection using the reagents provided in K-PHOS.

This method is suitable for analysis using spectrophotometer and auto-analyser.

Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved.

Overview

• Sequentially isolate and purify total RNA and DNA from a single sample
• Two column system: one for DNA and one for RNA
• The RNA column is for the purification of total RNA including microRNA
• No need to split the lysate, or to use phenol or precipitation methods
• Rapid and efficient spin column procedure – it takes only 30 minutes
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

These kits provide a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA and DNA sequentially from a single sample of cultured animal cells and tissues, blood, bacteria, yeast, or fungi. The lysate is passed over two columns: 1) a DNA column and 2) an RNA column. Total RNA of all sizes is purified, including microRNA. Both DNA and RNA are of the highest purity and yield.

These kits are ideal for researchers who are interested in studying the genome and transcriptome of a single sample, such as for studies of microRNA profiling, gene expression including gene silencing experiments or mRNA knockdowns, studies involving biomarker discovery, and for characterization of cultured cell lines. Norgen’s RNA/DNA Purification Kits are especially useful for researchers who are isolating macromolecules from precious, difficult to obtain or small samples such as biopsy materials or single foci from cell cultures, as they eliminate the need to fractionate the sample. Furthermore, analysis will be more reliable since the RNA and DNA are derived from the same sample, thereby eliminating inconsistent results. The purified macromolecules are of the highest purity and can be used in a number of different downstream applications

RNA/DNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)

Maximum column binding capacity of 50 μg for RNA and 20 μg for DNA.

RNA/DNA Purification Micro Kit (Micro)

The purified RNA and DNA fractions can be eluted in as little as 20 μL. Ideal for cell number inputs of 500,000 and as little as 5 cells. Maximum column binding capacity of 35 μg for RNA and 10 μg for DNA.
