Highly Sensitive Assay to Screen for Benzoic Acid Visual Readout (sample dependent: milk, red/pink) Detection range of 1ppm to 1500ppm Tube or Plate based options available Compatible with the Nix Sensor or plate readers to obtain quantitative results.
The Benzoic Acid Detection Kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test suitable for screening of Benzoic Acid concentration.
Benzoic Acid is a white solid that is an extensively used preservative. Although this preservative prevents or delays nutritional losses due to microbiological, enzymatic or chemical changes of foods during its shelf life there is a suspicion that small amounts of benzene may be formed from benzoic acid in nonalcoholic beverages in the presence of ascorbic acid. Benzoic acid and ascorbic acid are food additives which must be declared on the food. Benzoic acid or E 210 is a preservative which also occurs naturally, for instance, in cranberries. A maximum amount of 150 mg/l benzoic acid may be added to non-alcoholic flavored beverages.

Introduction
The HiPure Liquid RNA & miRNA Kit integrates phenol/guanidine-based sample lysis and silica membrane purification of total RNA. MagZol LS Reagent, included in the kits, is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine thiocyanate designed to facilitate lysis of liquid sample and inhibit RNase. The high lysis efficiency of the reagent and the subsequent removal of contaminants by organic phase extraction enable the use of up to 0.25ml liquid sample per mini spin column.

Main Functions
Isolation total RNA from 0.25ml body fluids using column and MagZol LS reagent
Applications
qPCR / RT-PCR, liquid or solid-phasechip analysis, hybridization and SNP detection
0.25ml liquid samples are homogenized in 0.75ml MagZol LS Reagent. After addition of chloroform, the homogenate is separated into aqueous and organic phases by centrifugation. The upper, aqueous phase is extracted, and ethanol is added to provide appropriate binding conditions. The sample is then applied to the spin column, where the total RNA (up to 100 µg) binds to the membrane and phenol and other contaminants are efficiently washed away. High-quality RNA is then eluted in 30–100µl of RNase-free water.
Advantages
High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes by using column purification method
Safety – no phenol chloroform extraction required
Sensitive – direct lysis of blood, plasma and other samples without separation of leukocytes

Storage and Stability
MagZol LS Reagent should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
