Over the past several decades, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has played an increasingly important role in forensic analyses of various criminal cases. A few hairs left at a crime scene contain enough mtDNA for extraction. The hair shaft, which protrudes out of the scalp, does not contain any nuclear DNA. It does, however, contain mtDNA. While nuclear DNA is present in only two copies per cell, the small circular mtDNA molecule is present in hundreds to thousands of copies per cell making it very abundant. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, and all of a woman’s offspring will have the same mtDNA profile. An advantage of this is that a single maternal relative of that person may provide a reference sample for comparison to a sample found at a crime scene.
Norgen’s Hair Mitochondrial DNA Isolation Kit provides a fast, reliable, and simple procedure for isolating mtDNA from hair shafts. Purification is based on spin column chromatography and the DNA is preferentially purified from other components. Typical yields will vary depending on the sample input volume used. The purified DNA is compatible with all downstream applications including PCR and NGS.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
Store DTT at -20°C upon arrival. All other solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year in their unopened containers. The kit contains a ready to-use Proteinase K solution, which is dissolved in a specially prepared storage buffer. The Proteinase K is stable for up to 2 years after delivery when stored at room temperature. To prolong the lifetime of Proteinase K, storage at 2–8°C is recommended.

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.
FBS Exosome Depletion Kit (Slurry Format)
For FBS volumes ranging from 140 mL to 280 mL.
FBS Exosome Depletion Kit (Column Format)
