For the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 variants with the N501Y mutation (UK, South Africa and Brazil)
Rapid detection of specific detection profiles
High priming efficiency
Sensitive to < 100 copies of target
Positive copy number standard curve for quantification
Accurate controls to confirm findings
96 reactions, includes master mix
Our SNPsig® kits use our own proprietary genotyping method to enable the identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. These products can be used on any real-time PCR machine using familiar protocols, whilst resulting in exceptional genotyping data.
Positive control templates for wild-type and variants are supplied in every kit to make data interpretation simple.
Our SNPsig® technology provides an alternative to sequencing as well as S gene target failure (SGTF) that enables scientists to analyse and monitor these specific genomic mutations. Our kits can provide a pivotal role in screening for SARS-CoV-2 variants for the purpose of genomic surveillance and studies.

Overview
Efficient depletion of bovine exosomes from Fetal Bovine Serum
Deplete exosome-sized vesicles from versatile FBS volumes
No protease treatment required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation
No precipitation reagents required
No overnight incubation required
Exosome depletion confirmed by reduction of bovine miRNAs below detectable levels
The depleted FBS provides the same cellular growth rates as the standard FBS
Purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary Silicon Carbide resin matrix
Norgen’s FBS Exosome Depletion Kits provides a quick and easy protocol for the depletion of bovine exosomes from FBS prior to using it as a growth supplement in your culture medium. The FBS recovered from the depletion process is exosome-depleted and does not contain any quantifiable bovine miRNAs. Moreover, the exosome-depleted FBS will support the growth of your cells of interest similar to the non-depleted FBS. Norgen’s kits allow for the processing of different FBS volumes. The depletion is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require ultracentrifugation, any special instrumentation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the depletion process is an inexpensive method for exosome depletion from FBS, as compared to the expensive current ready-to-use exosome-depleted media available on the market.
Background
Most culture medium used for the growth and propagation of cells in culture require the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a growth supplement to media. FBS is obtained from bovine (cow) serum, and therefore contains large quantities of bovine exosome vesicles. These exosomes may interfere with some types of studies, or may lead to unreliable results when studying the exosomes shed from your cells of interest in normal culture conditions. Therefore, the use of exosome-depleted FBS is highly recommended for many types of studies.

Clostridium difficile is rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium. It is the main causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The colonization of intestines by C. difficile is usually associated with the elimination of natural intestinal flora as a result of antibiotic application and is frequently reported in health care centers. While C. difficile infection could be severe and life-threatening, particularly among the elderly, many patients are asymptomatic making diagnosis challenging during outbreaks. The tradition method of detecting C. difficile infection is by cytotoxicity test of the toxin produced by the bacterium, but such protocols usually require extensive time before conclusion can be made.
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.
