Overview

• Extract total RNA (including microRNA) from FFPE samples
• No phenol extraction step
• Includes DNase for optional on-column DNA removal
• Isolated RNA is of the highest quality and integrity
• Isolate a diversity of RNA species
• Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

Norgen’s FFPE RNA Purification Kits provide a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples in as little as 1 hour. Using formalin to fix tissues leads to crosslinking of the RNA and proteins, and the process of embedding the tissue samples can also lead to fragmentation of the RNA over time. Norgen’s FFPE RNA Purification Kits provide conditions that allow for the partial reversing of the formalin modifications, resulting in a high quality and yield of RNA. These kits are able to purify all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), depending on the age of the FFPE tissue as fragmentation of the RNA is known to occur over time. The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components without the use of phenol or chloroform.

FFPE RNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)

Maximum loading volume of 650 μL per column, and a maximum binding capacity of 50 μg per column.

FFPE RNA Purification 96-Well Kit (High Throughput)

Purification is based on 96-well column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Purification can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation. Maximum loading volume of 400 μL per well, and a maximum binding capacity of 50 μg per well.

Overview

• Use with Norgen’s TaqMan Probe/Primer and Control Sets
• For any PCR application where the input template quality is important to avoid false negatives
• Convenience and time savings
• Cost efficient
• High sensitivity

TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix – Cat. 28340

Norgen’s TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix solution that contains a PCR internal control which can be detected by HEX/VIC channel in a real-time PCR machine. By detecting the internal control users can validate the DNA template quality, thereby preventing any false negatives in the PCR results. The user needs only to add template, target TaqMan primer/probe mix and water to set up the TaqMan real-time PCR. 

PCR Control: 
TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix contains PCR control primers/probe (HEX/VIC) and PCR control template. The PCR control reaction in the TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix is optimized to not interfere with target amplification. The fluorescence of the target probe should not be HEX/VIC.

Details

Reagents Supplied – Cat # 28340

• TaqMan 2x PCR Master Mix (3 Vials, 100 Reactions) – Sufficient reagent for 100 x 20 µL reactions

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
Norgen’s TaqMan 2x PCR and 2x RT-PCR Master Mixes should be stored at -20ºC. For everyday use an aliquot can be stored at 4ºC for up to three months. The Master Mix is stable for multiple freeze-thaw cycles. When stored at the proper temperature this reagent is stable for at least 1 year.

Overview

• Eight discrete bands, ranging from 100 to 1,000 bases
• Higher intensity band at 500 bases for easy reference
• No need for staining or destaining as loading dye contains ethidium bromide
• Convenient lyophilized format provides better product stability

The Norgen 100 b RNA Ladder is a set of RNA transcripts derived from recombinant DNA templates. This ladder is suitable for precise sizing of small RNA molecules using native or denaturing agarose gels, and can be easily visualized under UV.

Contents

• 2 vials of lyophilized RNA ladder (25 loads each)
• 1x loading buffer: 33.3% formamide, 11.7% formaldehyde, 0.012% bromophenol blue, 0.05mM EDTA, 0.012% ethidium bromide, and 0.7x MOPS solution
• 2x loading buffer

• 2x loading buffer

Instructions:

To reconstitute the lyophilized RNA ladder, add 250 µL of 1x loading buffer to each 25 loads vial and vortex gently.
Heat at 80°C for 10 minutes. Incubate on ice for 1 min. Load 10 µL on a 1.5-2% gel. For optimal results, use Norgen 2x loading buffer with each RNA sample. There is no need for staining and destaining denaturing gels since Norgen’s loading buffer contains ethidium bromide.

Storage:

Store at -20°C.
