Norgen’s Urine Preservative is designed for the rapid preservation of DNA, RNA, microRNA and proteins from fresh urine samples. In addition, the Urine Preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the Urine Preservative allow samples to be stored for over 2 years at room temperature with no detected degradation of urine DNA, RNA or proteins.
Norgen’s Urine Preservative is available in 2 convenient formats:
1. Urine Preservative Single Dose Ampules
With this product Norgen’s Urine Preservative is supplied in a liquid format in single dose ampules. The user simply collects 5 – 50 mL of urine into a urine collection container and adds the contents of the Urine Preservative Single Dose (Cat# 18126). The urine and preservative are then mixed, and the urine nucleic acids and proteins are preserved at room temperature.
2. Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes
Norgen’s Urine Preservative is also available in a dried format in Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes. The user simply collects urine into the tubes and mixes gently until the orange preservative pellet in the tube has dissolved. Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes are available in 3 convenient sizes:

This product provides a fast and easy way to purify DNA from plant and fungal tissue. Up to 100 mg of tissue can be processed. Easy-to-use Plant procedures provide pure total DNA (genomic,mitochondrial, and chloroplast) for reliable PCR and southern blotting in less than 1 hour. Purification requires no phenol or chloroform extraction oralcohol precipitation and involves minimal handling.

Plantmaterial is first mechanically disrupted and then lysed by addition of lysis buffer and incubation. RNase A in the lysis buffer digests the RNA in the sample. After lysis, proteins and polysaccharides are salt-precipitated.Binding buffer and ethanol are added to the cleared lysate to promote binding of the DNA to the HiPure membrane. The sample is then applied to a column and then centrifuged. DNA binds to the membrane, while contaminants such as proteins and polysaccharides are efficiently removed by 2 wash steps. Pure DNA is eluted in a small volume of low-salt buffer or water.

Storage and Stability
RNase A should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
