Attogene’s Microcystin Test Kit (Rapid – Drinking Water) can be used to detect microcystins in water to as low as 0.1ppb; highly sensitive, rapid, robust screening kit for microcystins and nodularins.
The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.
A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in drinking waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions.
For the rapid screening of microcystins in drinking water samples at or above 0.1 ppb. Samples requiring regulatory action should be confirmed by ELISA, HPLC, or other conventional methods.
To protect consumers from adverse health effects caused by these toxins, the World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed a provisional upper limit for Microcystin-LR of 1.0 ppb (μg/L) in drinking water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also established guidelines for Microcystins in drinking water:
-For children below school age, 0.3 μg/L (ppb)
-For all other age groups, 1.6 μg/L (ppb)

Diazo Biotin-PEG3-alkyne is useful for introducing a biotin moiety to azide-containing biomolecules using Cu(I)-catalyzed Click Chemistry. The hydrophilic spacer arm provides better solubility to the labeled molecules in aqueous media. Diazo allows efficient release of captured biotinylated molecules from streptavidin using sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4). Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Purification and enrichment of intact exosomes from plasma, serum, urine, cell culture media and saliva in less than 30 minutes.
Versatile sample input ranging from 50 µL to 10 mL
Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Mini Kit (50 µL – 1 mL Plasma/Serum)
Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Midi Kit (1 mL – 4 mL Plasma/Serum)
Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Maxi Kit (4 mL – 10 mL Plasma/Serum)
Exosome purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin separating matrix through exosomes’ surface proteins.
No precipitation reagents, overnight incubation, protease or coagulant treatments required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration or special syringes required
Purify intact exosomes with a size ranging from 40-200 nm depending on sample input type
Purified exosomes are compatible with functional studies.
Purified exosomes are free from any RNA-binding proteins
Purified exosomes are compatible with NanoSight® or Electron Microscopy for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.
Exosomal RNA can be extracted from the purified exosomes using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Purification technology or any other RNA extraction method.
The Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for intact exosomes from different plasma/serum sample volumes ranging from 50 µL to 10 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different plasma/serum sample volumes, and these EVs are ready for any downstream application. The purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin.
These kits provide a clear advantage over other available methods since they do not require any special instrumentation, ultracentrifugation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the purified exosomes will not be contaminated with any other RNA-binding proteins that may contaminate your exosomal RNA, which is essential if studying exosomal transcripts.
NanoSight® Analysis
Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration
Exosomal RNA Analysis
To purify exosomes and isolate exosomal RNA, choose the Plasma/serum Exosome Purification and RNA isolation kits. The protocol is divided into 2 parts and an aliquot of purified exosomes can be taken for applications like NTA/TEM etc. before processing them for RNA isolation. Or you can use the Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit if you’ve already purified exosomes using a Norgen kit or another method. . Exosomal RNA isolation is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin without the need for phenol extractions or carrier RNA. This RNA is ideal for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray, or NGS and for biomarker discovery.
Variable depending on the plasma/serum input volume
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
15 – 30 minutes
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.
Important Note This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
