Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx are closed, evacuated plastic tubes for the collection and the preservation of cf-DNA, circulating tumor DNA, cf-RNA and circulating tumor cells in human whole blood samples during storage and shipping. Using these tubes in combination with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits or Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kits enables the purification and concentration of an inhibitor-free cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA in a very small elution volume.
These tubes are ideal for collecting and preserving cf-DNA and cf-RNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes.
Performance
Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx abridge the collection/processing of whole blood for the subsequent purification of cf-DNA and/or cf-RNA. The cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx preserve and inhibit the programmed cell-death (apoptosis) of the blood, hence preventing the release of intracellular DNA/RNA into plasma. Whole blood samples can be shipped and stored at room temperature for the subsequent processing of plasma. The cf/ct DNA and cf-RNA levels are stable for up to 30 days at room temperature. The cf-DNA is also stable for up to 8 days at 37°C.

HiPure Insect DNA Kits provides a simple and rapid solution for total DNA extraction of insect tissue samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology without toxic phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction process only takes 30 minutes. HiPure Insect DNA Kit can process tissue samples less than 10mg at a time. Hipure Insect DNA 96 kit can process 96 insect tissue samples at a high throughput. The obtained DNA can be directly used in PCR, Southern blot, viral DNA detection and other experiments.

Principles
This product is based on silica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Proteinase K, RNase A should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored 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 thiscase buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers areat room temperature when used.

Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads consist of paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind DNA. They are used for DNA purification because they are fast, simple and efficient. We have developed our own beads technology that are different from other SPRI beads technologies.
Our Magnetic Beads (DNA & RNA Purification) combines BioDynami’s proprietary chemistries with reversible DNA-binding properties of magnetic beads. The magnetic beads, which are unique from other SPRI beads, are developed for effective nucleic acid purification by removing unwanted components such as salts, dNTPs, enzymes, primers, adapters, and other impurities. The beads are RNase free, can be used for applications of DNA, and even work with more sensitive RNA without any additional cost.
Our magnetic beads are optimized to selectively bind DNA fragments of 100 bp and larger, and RNA fragments of 200 bases and larger, similar to other SPRI beads such as AMPure® XP* and SPRIselect*. Purified DNA and RNA are suitable for downstream applications requiring high quality DNA and RNA, as the purified fragments are free of contaminants and impurities. The beads can be used for NGS library purification, PCR fragment cleanup, molecular cloning, or even nucleic acid concentration.
The beads can also be used for size selection of DNA fragments ranging from 150 bp to 800 bp by changing the bead-to-sample volume ratio and performing single or double-size selection. The beads are an ideal choice for NGS library preparation. They can be easily integrated into the standard workflow of NGS library preparation since the volume ratio is similar for protocols using standard magnetic beads.
Features:
* AMPure® XP and SPRIselect are trade marks of Beckman Coulter.
Magnetic beads recovery rate. dsDNA and ssDNA of genomic DNA, 1 kb DNA, and 200 bp DNA fragments were used. Total RNA was also tested.
Comparison of elution volume vs yield. 40 ul , 30 ul, and 20 ul of elution volume were used. BioDynami magnetic beads have better recovery rates at low elution volume when compared to other SPRI beads such as AMPure® XP*.
