This kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the rapid isolation of DNA from sputum samples. It allows for the isolation of bacterial or eukaryotic DNA from the sputum samples using spin-column chromatography based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. The kit includes all the reagents needed to process sputum DNA. The protocol can be completed in 30 minutes. Purified DNA is of the highest quality and free from inhibitors, and can be used in sensitive downstream applications including PCR and qPCR.
A sputum specimen is the name given to the mucus which is expectorated from the lower airways. High quality sputum samples should contain very little saliva, as this may contaminate the sputum sample with oral bacteria. Sputum samples are typically evaluated to look for infections such as Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptococcus pneumoniae ;and Haemophilus influenza. Other pathogens can be detected in sputum as well, including HIV. In addition, sputum samples are useful in the detection of lung cancer or to evaluate chronic inflammation.

Description
Q-PAGE™ TGN (Tris-Glycine Novel) Precast Gels are ready-to-use acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE running in Tris-Glycine buffer system. With unique formula, Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels perform enhanced speed, better separation, and longer shelf life as compared with conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. The protein migration patterns in Q-PAGE™ TGN series, however, are similar with typical Laemmli Tris-HCl gels, and thus Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are compatible to traditional SDS-PAGE and subsequent analyses.
Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 15%) and fixed (10%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12- and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP4XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP5XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems.
Key Features
Storage and stability
Store Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels at 4°C for periods up to 12 months.
Do not freeze Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels. Remove tape and comb before electrophoresis.
Keep Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels flat during storage.
