96×5ml Swing Buckets Rotor

Overview

• Purify all sizes of RNA (including microRNA) without the need for phenol
• Isolate and detect total RNA from 1 mL and up to 50 mL urine
• Provides high-quality RNA for sensitive applications – isolate RNA from as little as 100 cells
• Rapid processing time from sampling to downstream testing
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, as well as from the contaminating species found in urine such as glucose and salts, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, Northern blotting, NGS, and expression array assays. Multiple samples can be processed in 20 minutes.

Background

RNA biomarkers from exfoliated cells can be used as non-invasive tools for a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers.

Description 

Q-PAGE™ TGN (Tris-Glycine Novel) Precast Gels are ready-to-use acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE running in Tris-Glycine buffer system. With unique formula, Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels perform enhanced speed, better separation, and longer shelf life as compared with conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. The protein migration patterns in Q-PAGE™ TGN series, however, are similar with typical Laemmli Tris-HCl gels, and thus Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are compatible to traditional SDS-PAGE and subsequent analyses. 

Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 15%) and fixed (10%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12- and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP4XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP5XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems. 

Key Features

• User-friendly gel cassette:
  • Numbered and framed wells for sample loading
  • Labeled warning sign and green tape as reminder
• Enhanced gel performance: 
  • Enhanced gel electrophoresis speed 
  • Better band separation 
  • Stable for shipping at ambient temperature
• Easy compatibility: 
  • Available as homogeneous and adjusted gradient gels for a wide range of protein separation.
  • Compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems 

Storage and stability

Store Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels at 4°C for periods up to 12 months.

Do not freeze Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels. Remove tape and comb before electrophoresis. 

Keep Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels flat during storage.

M-SAN HQ  – Peak performance where it matters most at physiological conditions

Medium-Salt Active Nuclease High Quality (M-SAN HQ) is a Bioprocessing Grade nuclease developed for removal of both single and double-stranded DNA and RNA at the physiological salt conditions most often used in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing workflows. M-SAN HQ allows you to directly replace Benzonase without changing your workflow.

This novel, nonspecific endonuclease is active over a broad pH range and displays optimum activity at salt concentrations between 125 – 250 mM. Due to its excellent performance at physiological conditions, M-SAN HQ can be used directly in the cell medium or the harvested supernatant without buffer adjustments. This makes M-SAN HQ ideal for the manufacturing of fragile vectors such as lentiviruses and retroviruses.

M-SAN HQ can be directly used in medium without buffer adjustments The high activity of M-SAN HQ at standard cell medium conditions leads to improved DNA clearance compared to other commonly used nucleases. In the data (see Figure 6), an over 2-fold reduction in residual DNA was achieved. 

Key Benefits

• Compatibility: Ideal for working with both fragile and robust viral vectors and proteins in a variety of cell media
• Optimum activity: Optimization for cell media salinity allows both shorter DNA fragments and reduced incubation times.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced need for additional reagents and steps can lower production costs
• Quality: Maintains the integrity of sensitive or labile biological molecules, ensuring a higher quality end product
• Flexibility: Can be used directly in a variety of media without the need for customization

Key Features 

• High purity (≥ 99%)
• No protease detected
• Endotoxin-tested
• Animal origin-free production
• Supplied with extended product documentation

Adapted to use in medium without salinity adjustments 

Optimal activity at physiological salinity and pH makes it ideal for DNA removal from mammalian cell media. (see Figures)

The high activity of M-SAN HQ at the physiological salinity and pH found in standard cell medium conditions leads to improved DNA clearance compared to commonly used nucleases.

Simple to Optimize in Cell Media

M-SAN HQ is uniquely formulated to excel in physiological pH conditions, offering high performance at the commonly used cell media pH of 7.4.

While other nucleases often require more alkaline environments, M-SAN HQ stands out for its adaptability and effectiveness in cell media. It’s the nuclease that truly aligns with your bioprocessing needs. (See Figure section)
