Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

These kits are designed for the rapid preparation of plasmid DNA from Escherichia coli.
Plasmid MiniPrep Kit
This kit is designed for the rapid preparation of plasmid DNA from small cultures of Escherichia coli using convenient spin columns. The plasmid DNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as genomic DNA and RNA. This kit is able to purify plasmids up to 13,000 bp in size, and the typical purification yield is up to 20 μg from 1.5 mL of bacterial culture. Purified DNA is of excellent quality for transformation, restriction enzyme digestion, sequencing and more. Also available in a 96-well format.
Plasmid MiniPrep Kit (Magnetic Bead System and High Throughput Magnetic Bead System)
Norgen’s Plasmid MiniPrep Kit (Magnetic Bead System) is designed for the rapid preparation of plasmid DNA from small batch cultures of Escherichia coli. Norgen’s magnetic beads bind DNA under optimized salt concentrations and release the bound DNA under low salt and slightly alkali conditions. The plasmid DNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as genomic DNA and RNA. The purified plasmids are fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and are completely compatible with real-time PCR and NGS.
Norgen’s Plasmid MiniPrep Kit (Magnetic Bead System) is also available in a 96-well (HT) format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be integrated with a robotic automation system.
Plasmid MaxiPrep Kit
This kit is designed for the rapid spin column preparation of plasmid DNA from up to 100 mL of Escherichia coli cultures. The kit allows for the isolation of plasmid DNA with final endotoxin levels of 0.1 EU/µg of DNA or less. The kit is able to purify plasmids up to 13,000 bp in size, and typical yields from a 100 mL culture for a high copy number plasmid are between 0.4 and 1.0 mg. The purified DNA is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with manual or automated sequencing to achieve 95-100% accuracy.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. The RNase vial should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Once RNase has been added to the Resuspension Solution AZ the solution should be stored at 4°C. This kit is stable for 1 year after its date of shipment.
