96-Well ring magnetic plate with integrated cushion base

Overview

• Optimized for low input RNA, especially from bodily fluids such as plasma or serum at 1ng of RNA
• Simple and quick workflow: library could be prepared in less than 5 hours
• No gel purification for selected types of samples
• Protocol optimized for RNA isolated from different types of input, including liquid biopsies (blood, plasma, serum and urine)
• Complements Norgen’s Best-in-Class Total RNA (including microRNA) Purification Technology

The Small RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina consists of all the reagents and components required to generate small RNA libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on an Illumina platform. All molecular reagents including adaptors, primers, enzyme mixes and buffers are provided. A purification module is also provided for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at various steps of the workflow. The purification module utilizes Norgen’s patent resin technology which enhances recovery of desired library intermediates or final products. The library prep workflow could be used for different forms of input including purified total RNA or enriched small RNA, as well as RNA from low content inputs such as plasma, serum and urine.

Description

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.

Exceptional value for money
Rapid detection of all clinically relevant subtypes
Positive copy number standard curve for quantification
Highly specific detection profile
High priming efficiency
Broad dynamic detection range (>6 logs)
Sensitive to < 100 copies of target Accurate controls to confirm findings

Overview

• Collect from nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, and more
• Completely stabilize microbiota profiles from the point-of-collection
• Minimize bias in data analysis: NGS (Metagenomics/Microbiome), PCR and microarrays
• No need to immediately process samples: ship and store at ambient temperatures
• DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
• Renders sample non-infectious for safe and easy shipping
• Compatible with DNA isolation kits and protocols: Optimized isolation procedure using Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit

Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System is designed for collection, ambient storage and transport of DNA from samples collected using a swab, including nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, etc. The Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System contains Norgen’s Swab Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the specimen using the provided swab, and then transfers the swab into the Swab Preservative. The Swab Preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the Swab 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 Swab Preservative allow DNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 years.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Swab samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System are compatible with most DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with most of Norgen Biotek’s DNA isolation kits and reagents. An optimized isolation procedure is available as part of Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit (Cat. 64100).
