Ammonia Assay Kit (Liquid Ready™)

Overview

• Isolate high quality DNA from a broad variety of phage strains
• High yields of total DNA
• Fast and easy processing using a rapid spin-column format
• No phenol or chloroform extractions or cesium chloride banding required
• High yields of DNA recovered 3-15 µg DNA from 10⁶-10¹⁰ pfu/ mL of enriched phages

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the purification of total DNA from a broad spectrum of bacteriophages propagated in bacteria grown in liquid cultures. The DNA is isolated without the use of phenol, chloroform or cesium chloride banding procedures. The spin-column based procedure is rapid and can be completed in less than 45 minutes. The kit is highly efficient for processing small volumes of phage supernatant (500 µL – 1 mL) and with the optional DNase and Proteinase K treatments phage DNA yields are maximized while host DNA contamination is minimized. Purified total phage DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), sequencing, cloning, Southern Blot and more.

DBCO-C5-acid is an analog of DBCO-Acid with an extended 5-carbon atom spacer arm. The extended 6-carbon atom spacer arm improves its derivatization efficiency and the stability of the yielded conjugates. This spacer arm also improves solubility in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, THF, and ethyl acetate. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research use only.

Overview

• All-in-one solution for inclusion body protein isolation and purification
• Fast and convenient spin column protocol
• Complete kit with Cell Lysis Reagent, Inclusion Body Solubilization Reagent, buffers and spin columns to purify proteins
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix

These kits provide everything required to isolate and purify inclusion body proteins from induced bacterial cultures. First a proprietary Cell Lysis Reagent is used to selectively lyse the cells and release inclusion bodies in their solid form. Next, inclusion bodies are dissolved and their contents released using the provided IB Solubilization Reagent. Inclusion body proteins are then further purified using spin columns for rapid and convenient buffer exchange and desalting. This kit provides a convenient way to screen recombinants prior to scaling up.

ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Micro Kit

The process is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 12 samples in only 60 minutes. Each spin column is able to recover up to 50 µg of acidic or basic proteins. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.

ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Maxi Kit

The procedure is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 4 samples in approximately 2 hours. Each spin column is able to recover up to 12 mg of acidic or basic proteins from 100 mL of induced bacterial culture. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.

About Inclusion Bodies

Bacteria are widely used for the expression of different proteins. However, 70-80% of the proteins expressed in bacteria by recombinant techniques are typically contained in insoluble inclusion bodies (i.e., protein aggregates). The protein of interest found in these subcellular structures is often inactive, due to incorrect folding. The production rate of recombinant proteins stored in inclusion bodies is invariably higher than those synthesized as soluble proteins. The reason behind this is thought to be the resistance of insoluble proteins to proteolysis by cellular enzymes. In addition, separation of insoluble recombinant proteins in inclusion bodies is considerably easier than that of soluble proteins. These factors have been the major influences favoring scale-up of high-value proteins using bacterial fermentation for example. Procedures for the purification of the expressed proteins from inclusion bodies are often labour-intensive, time-consuming and not cost-effective. This kit provides the essential reagents for cell disruption, inclusion body solubilization and purification using spin column chromatography – all optimized to work together thereby simplifying the process and saving a tremendous amount of time and cost.

Storage Conditions
The Cell Lysis Reagent and IB Solubilization Reagent should be stored at 4°C upon receipt of this kit. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. Once opened, the solutions should be stored at 4°C when not in use except for Binding Buffer C and Binding Buffer N. Some precipitation will occur with 4°C storage. This precipitation should be dissolved with slight heating to room temperature before using.
