Intended Use
For the selective separation and enumeration of enterococci in food and water.
Principle and Interpretation
Tryptone and peptone are the sources of nitrogen and essential growth factors. Yeast extract acts as well nitrogenous compounds and additionally the vitamin B12 complex. Sodium azide acts largely inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria while sparing enterococci, staphylococci and streptococci. Ox bile inhibits most gram positives but not enterococci. Enterococci hydrolyse esculin to esculetin and dextrose, which reacts with ferric citrate producing a brownish black precipitate around the colonies. Tolerance to bile and the ability to hydrolyze esculin is the traditional and reliable test for the identification of enterococci. (4). Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium and Agar is the solidifying agent.

Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Mini Kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 1 mL. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, NGS application, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
