RNase-Free Lateral Flow Assay Running Buffer Screening Pack

Overview

• Convenient optimized on-column DNase treatment using Norgen’s RNA Purification Kits
• Also includes protocol for digestion in-solution followed by RNA Clean-Up
• Guaranteed RNase-Free
• Includes Enzyme Incubation Buffer
• Cat. 25710 contains one vial of 1,600 units and Cat. 25720 contains 4 vials (1,600 units/vial)

Norgen’s RNA purification kits isolate total RNA with minimal amounts of genomic DNA contamination. However, for some sensitive downstream applications, it may be desirable to remove all traces of residual DNA. Norgen’s RNase-free DNAse I Kit, with Enzyme Incubation Buffer, can be used for optional on-column DNase digestion with any of Norgen’s RNA purification kits. Alternatively, after isolating total RNA using one of Norgen’s RNA purification kits, the RNA elution can be treated with this DNase I. The RNA can then be purified from the DNase using Norgen’s RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Kit (Cat# 23600), and the RNA can then be used in downstream applications.

Details

Each RNase-Free DNase I Kit is supplied complete with sufficient enzyme and enzyme incubation buffer for 50 or 200 reactions.

Storage Conditions
The DNase I provided is in lyophilized form. It is stable for at least 3 months if stored at room temperature. However, it is recommended to store the DNase I vial at 2 – 8ºC (or below) upon receipt to maintain stability beyond 3 months. Buffer DR and Enzyme Incubation Buffer can be stored at room temperature. After reconstitution with Buffer DR (see product manual), the DNase I should be stored at -20ºC. All reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year in their unopened containers at the appropriate storage temperature.

Overview

• Detection kits for HIV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which destroys essential cells in the human immune system, such as CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of T cell), macrophages and dendritic cells. Infection with HIV therefore leads to an impaired immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic cancers and infections. Due to the mutating nature of HIV and damage to the T cells, the immune system is unable to fight off infections and disease. Without treatment, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The rate of HIV progression to AIDS depends on a number of different factors including viral, host and environmental factors. However, with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals with HIV will never progress to AIDS, having near normal life expectancy.   Transmission of HIV is through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, either sexually; by the sharing of blood-contaminated needles or instruments; maternally through childbirth or breastfeeding; or via blood transfusion/organ transplant.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.
