BASIC AND ADVANCED LEAF CUTTING TOOL

Description

DNA amplification made possible with a TwistAmp® Basic kit. Contains all the enzymes and reagents necessary for the amplification of DNA, the user needs only supply primers and template. Even PCR primers can work using TwistAmp® Basic. TwistAmp® Basic has been used for solid-phase, tailed primers, aptamers, electrochemistry and microarray applications. See manual for more information. Click to order oligonucleotides.

Perfect for: End-point gel electrophoresis DNA detection, down-stream applications (e.g. sub-cloning)

Description 

Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gel is a high-performance and easy to use precast polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis in Bis-Tris buffer system (MOPS or MES). The optimized gel formula allows Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gel to show improved resolution, accurate results, and an extended shelf-life over conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. 

Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 12%) and fixed (8% and 12%) 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 (QP2XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP3XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems.

• The procedure for plasma isolation using this kit is compliant with ISO 20186-3:2019

Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx are closed, evacuated plastic tubes for the collection and the preservation of cf-DNA, circulating tumor DNA, cf-RNA and circulating tumor cells in human whole blood samples during storage and shipping. Using these tubes in combination with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits or Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kits enables the purification and concentration of an inhibitor-free cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA in a very small elution volume. 

These tubes are ideal for collecting and preserving cf-DNA and cf-RNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes.

Performance

Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx abridge the collection/processing of whole blood for the subsequent purification of cf-DNA and/or cf-RNA. The cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx preserve and inhibit the programmed cell-death (apoptosis) of the blood, hence preventing the release of intracellular DNA/RNA into plasma. Whole blood samples can be shipped and stored at room temperature for the subsequent processing of plasma. The cf/ct DNA and cf-RNA levels are stable for up to 30 days at room temperature. The cf-DNA is also stable for up to 8 days at 37°C.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability

1. When stored at 15-30°C, unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx are stable through the expiration date.  See tube label for expiry date.
2. Short-term storage/shipping at -20°C to 37°C for up to 10 days is acceptable for unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx.
3. Do not freeze unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx for long term storage over 10 days. Freezing unfilled tubes may lead to loss of vacuum and precipitation may occur.
