Overview

Non-woven gas permeable seal that limits evaporation. The seal is peelable, pierceable; suitable for cell culture and seed & insect storage too.

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
• Our Gas PermASeal Heat Seal is made from a non-woven material and is designed for use in cell culture, due to its porous nature
• The seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene
• It can be removed by peeling, or it can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, using a liquid handling robot.
• Gas PermASeal Heat Seal can be utilized for effective overnight incubations, during which it demonstrates significant reductions in evaporation compared to lids
• It can also be used for insect and seed storage as it enables gas exchange, whilst providing an inert surface with no adhesive to interfere with the well contents
• This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
• Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

Overview

• No need to immediately process samples
• Includes pre-loaded beads for effective sample homogenization by bead beating (tubes are fully compatible with commercially available bead beating systems)
• DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
• Ship fecal samples at room temperature safely
• Compatible with most DNA isolation methods 

Norgen’s Fecal DNA Collection & Preservation Mini Tubes are designed for the rapid preservation of DNA from fresh fecal specimens. These tubes contain Norgen’s Fecal DNA Preservative in a liquid format. Moreover, each collection tube is preloaded with beads for effective sample homogenization in any commercially available bead beater equipment (e.g. MP Biomedicals’ FastPrep®-24). The user simply collects fecal samples into the tubes and mixes by shaking or vortexing until the feces is mixed well with preservative. The preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the preservative allow the DNA in the samples to be preserved at room temperature for over 2 years. 

This kit is highly suited to collection and preservation of fecal material from mouse, hamster, chinchilla, rabbit and more for microbiome studies and other applications.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Fecal samples collected and preserved in Norgen’s Fecal DNA Collection and Preservation Mini Tubes are compatible with most fecal DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with all of Norgen Biotek’s stool-based DNA isolation kits (please refer to Related Products table) and reagents.

Introduction

This product provides fast and easy methods for purification of total DNA for reliable PCR and southern blotting. Total DNA(e.g., genomic, viral, mitochondrial) can be purified from whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat, bone marrow, other body fluids, lymphocytes, cultured cells.

Relevant reagents were pre-packed in 96-well plates in accordance with the optimal protocol.

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• High binding force – suitable for handling DNA rich samples, such as whole blood, buffy coat, concentrated blood, etc.
• Fast – polydisperse magnetic beads, fast magnetic response and short extraction time
• High purity – the obtained DNA can be directly used for second-generation sequencing, PCR based detection, gene bank, etc.
• Automatic – saving time andlabor and safer

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, MagPure Particles 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.The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
