Overview

• Detection kits for HIV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which destroys essential cells in the human immune system, such as CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of T cell), macrophages and dendritic cells. Infection with HIV therefore leads to an impaired immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic cancers and infections. Due to the mutating nature of HIV and damage to the T cells, the immune system is unable to fight off infections and disease. Without treatment, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The rate of HIV progression to AIDS depends on a number of different factors including viral, host and environmental factors. However, with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals with HIV will never progress to AIDS, having near normal life expectancy.   Transmission of HIV is through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, either sexually; by the sharing of blood-contaminated needles or instruments; maternally through childbirth or breastfeeding; or via blood transfusion/organ transplant.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Overview

• Can be used for the clean up of both RNA and DNA from enzymatic reactions, labeling etc.
• Purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA down to microRNA (miRNA)
• Purifies all sizes of DNA, from small PCR products to plasmids to genomic DNA
• Removes endotoxins for transfection of injection ready RNA or DNA
• Rapid and efficient spin-column format (20 minutes)
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

Norgen’s CleanAll DNA/RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Micro Kit provides a rapid method for the purification, cleanup and concentration of RNA or DNA from different isolation methods or upstream applications.   The kit can be used as an alternative to organic extraction and ethanol precipitation to clean up various enzymatic reactions. 

The CleanAll Kit purifies RNA from phenol/guanidine-based protocols or from various upstream enzymatic reactions such as DNase treatment, labeling and in vitro transcription. Furthermore, endotoxins can be removed from previously purified RNA solutions.

The kit can be used to clean up DNA from digestions, ligations, PCR reactions, labeling reactions, DNA modification reactions and staining. The kit also provides a protocol for the rapid removal of endotoxins from previously purified DNA down to 0.1 EU/µg DNA or less.

Purify all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA).

Purify all sizes of DNA, from small PCR products, native or linearized plasmids, to genomic DNA. Using an alternative protocol, even oligonucleotides and smaller DNA fragments can be purified.

Overview

• Purification and enrichment of intact cell culture media exosomes for functional studies
• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• Versatile cell culture media input volumes
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes required
• No precipitation reagents nor overnight incubation required
• Pure exosomes are purified and are free from any other RNA-binding proteins
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin
• The purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services

Norgen’s Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits constitute an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of exosomal RNA from different cell culture media sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA 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.

Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Mini Kit

For sample input volumes ranging from 5 mL to 10 mL.

Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Midi Kit

For sample input volumes ranging from 10 mL to 20 mL.

Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Maxi Kit
