Norgen’s EXTRAClean Plasma/Serum Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of RNA and free-circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes ranging from 50 μL and up to 10 mL. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or any protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, NGS application, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
200 µL filtered pipette tips for the Opentrons Flex, provided sterile in racks or blister packs (refills). Tips are clear, non-conducting polypropylene tips, free of human DNA, PCR inhibitors, RNase/DNase, pyrogens, and endotoxins. Opentrons Flex Tips and Racks are autoclavable.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a member of the Herpes family of virus and is one of the most common viruses in humans. The virus occurs globally and causes infectious mononucleosis. Most individuals become infected with EBV and develop adaptive immunity, with the majority of adults between the ages of 35 and 40 having been infected. The virus has been implicated as having a primary role in multiple autoimmune diseases, several lymphoproliferative disorders and cancers, particularly Hodgkin’s disease and Burkitt’s lymphoma. Many children become infected with EBV once maternal antibody protection disappears, however these infections usually do not result in symptom development. During adolescence the virus will cause mononucleosis in up to 69% of infections

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.
