Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Kits (Slurry Format) provide efficient methods for the purification of fragmented free-circulating DNA from human plasma or serum. The kit is able to isolate all sizes of circulating DNA. The slurry format provides an advantage over other available kits in that it does not require extension tubes for the purification of free-circulating DNA from large sample volumes. DNA can be isolated from either fresh or frozen samples using this kit. The kit will also isolate viral and bacterial DNA from plasma/serum. Typical yields of purified free-circulating DNA will vary depending on the input sample (1-100ng/mL circulating DNA in human plasma), with more concentrated samples tending to yield more free-circulating nucleic acids. The purified, inhibitor-free plasma/serum free-circulating DNA is eluted in an elution solution that is compatible with PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR and Southern Blot analysis.

Name of Product
Trichinella spiralis – IgG ELISA
Catalog Number
9750
Short Info
Trichinellosis is caused by Trichinella spiralis, a parasitic nematode of pork, horse and wild animals. Humans can be infected by eating raw or undercooked meat from infected animals. Most infected people do not show any symptoms. However, in some cases, symptoms appear during intestinal stage (diarrhea and abdominal pain) and muscular stage (muscle pain, fever, edema). Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms, but in many cases it is not conclusive for the diagnosis. Serological assays have an important place on the final diagnosis of the disease. The ELISA kit has shown appropriate performance for the serological screening of trichinellosis.
This product is manufactured by Bordier Affinity Products in Switzerland and distributed in Germany exclusively by Milenia Biotec.
Method/Platform
ELISA in microplate format
Range/Assay Sensivity
95% sensitivity, 98% specificity
Test Principle
The kit provides all the material needed to perform 96 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) on breakable microtitration wells sensitized with Trichinella spiralis excreted/secreted (E/S) larval antigens. Specific antibodies in the sample will bind to these antigens and washing will remove unspecific antibodies. The presence of parasite specific antibodies is detected with a Protein A – alkaline phosphatase conjugate. A second washing step will remove unbound conjugate. Revealing bound antibodies is made by the addition of pNPP substrate which turns yellow in the presence of alkaline phosphatase. Color intensity is proportional to the amount of Trichinella spiralis specific antibodies in the sample. Potassium phosphate is added to stop the reaction. Absorbance at 405 nm is read using an ELISA microplate reader. The test can be performed with automatic systems, but this must be validated by the user.

Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
