Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V3-V4 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V3-V4 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V3-V4 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V3-V4 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
Norgen’s 16S V3-V4 Library Prep Kit for Illumina is shipped as one kit box (for the 24 prep kit) or two sub-component kits (for the 96 prep kit). All kits should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.

All kit components should remain stable for at least 1 year when stored at the specified storage conditions.

Introduction

HiPure FFPE RNA Kit supplies a simple and rapid RNA extraction for Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and sections samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology, no phenol-chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction only takes 30 minutes (not including digestion time). RNA can be directly used for downstream applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blot, vitro translation and other experiments.

This product is based on silica column purification. Remove paraffin by Buffer DPS. Sample lysis with proteinase K digestion requires only 15 minutes. After lysis, samples are incubated at 80ºC for 15 minutes. Transfer to an adsorption column and RNA is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, RNA was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 60 minutes by column method
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K 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 this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
