Assay Tubes (Qubit Fluorometer)

The Qubit assay tubes are thin-wall polypropylene tubes (500 µl) for use with the Qubit Fluorometer. High-quality of the tubes guarantee the accurate measurement of different types of samples such as DNA (dsDNA, ssDNA), RNA and protein.

Qubit tubes from the same lot should be used for the experiments for optimal result. 500 tubes per package.

Features

• • High-quality: Accurate measurement of different types of samples
  • Cost cutting: Half price as compared to other vendors

Overview

• Protocol optimized for DNA isolated from a diversity of samples including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin, and more
• Simple and quick workflow: library could be prepared in less than 5 hours
• Component of Norgen’s metagenomics workflow
• A single NGS run can be prepared with up to 384 unique dual-index libraries

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V2-V3 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 V2-V3 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 V2-V3 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 V2-V3 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

Intended Use

For the detection of Salmonella spp. in food, animal feed and in environmental samples from the food production area as described in ISO 6579-1:2017.

Principle and Interpretation

Meat extract and casein provide a source of nitrogen and amino acids and sodium chloride maintain theosmotic balance. Ox bile and brilliant green act as selective agents against non-target microorganisms. Tetrathionate is generated from the sodium thiosulfate. Iodine and calcium carbonate buffer the sulfuric acid generated from tetrathionate reduction.

Formulation

Preparation

Suspend 89.4g in 1 L of purified water. Heat with frequent agitation and boil to completely dissolve the powder. Distribute into flasks，and then cool to below 45°C. Add a vial of novobiocin sodium salt (SR0640), a vial of iodine solution and a vial of brilliant green (SR0040) into 100 mL of base medium. Mix thoroughly.

Quality Control

Cultural characteristics observed after incubation at 35-37°C for 24 hours

Storage and Shelf Life

2-30℃，Keep container tightly closed, avoid direct sunlight.

Use before expiry date on the label.

 Precautions

1. When weighing the dehydrated medium, please wear masks to avoid causing respiratory system discomfort

2. Keep container tightly closed after using to prevent clumping.

Waste Disposal

Microbiological contamination was disposed by autoclaving at 121°C for 30 minutes.
