Propargyl-PEG8-acid has an alkyne group and an acid group. The acid group can derivatize amine-containing molecules in the presence of activators such as EDC or HATU. The alkyne group can react with azides via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry reactions. The PEG units help increase the solubility of the molecule in aqueous environment. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

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.
