Intended Use
For the selective separation and enumeration of enterococci in food and water.
Principle and Interpretation
Tryptone and peptone are the sources of nitrogen and essential growth factors. Yeast extract acts as well nitrogenous compounds and additionally the vitamin B12 complex. Sodium azide acts largely inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria while sparing enterococci, staphylococci and streptococci. Ox bile inhibits most gram positives but not enterococci. Enterococci hydrolyse esculin to esculetin and dextrose, which reacts with ferric citrate producing a brownish black precipitate around the colonies. Tolerance to bile and the ability to hydrolyze esculin is the traditional and reliable test for the identification of enterococci. (4). Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium and Agar is the solidifying agent.

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.
Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

These kits provide a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total leukocyte (white blood cell) RNA from mammalian blood samples. These kits are supplied with an RBC (red blood cell) Lysis Buffer for selective removal of red blood cells and fractionation of leukocytes by centrifugation. Isolation of leukocyte RNA results in improved expression profiling and other downstream applications by removing the masking effects of some RNAs which are very abundant in whole blood, such as globin mRNAs. These kits are able to isolate total leukocyte RNA, including both large mRNA and all small RNA species containing microRNA (miRNA) and small silencing RNA (siRNA). The purified RNA is of the highest quality and can be used in a number of downstream applications.
Leukocyte RNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)
This kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total leukocyte RNA from mammalian blood samples in 40 minutes. Allowable blood input ranges from 10 μL to 2 mL or 3 x 106 Leukocytes
Leukocyte RNA Purification Plus Kit (Plus)
Norgen’s Leukocyte RNA Purification Plus Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total leukocyte (white blood cell) RNA from up to 3 mL of mammalian blood samples. Complete 10 purifications in as little as 40 minutes.
Leukocyte RNA Purification 96-Well Kit (High Throughput)
Purification is based on 96-well column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Purification can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation. Norgen’s kit allows for the isolation of total leukocyte RNA, including all small RNA species. The purified RNA is of the highest quality and 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. Allowable blood input ranges from 10 μL to 1 mL or 1.5 x 106 Leukocytes.
