Overview

• Detection kits for RSV-A
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Norgen’s Respiratory Syncytial Virus A (RSV-A) TaqMan RT-PCR Detection Kit is designed for the detection of RSV-A specific RNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan technology. This kit is designed for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. The detection of RSV-A specific RNA is based on TaqMan one-step RT-PCR providing a simple, reliable and rapid result for the detection of RSV-A infection. Norgen’s TaqMan RT-PCR Kit includes a PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition, and to validate the quality of the sample and the detection result. The RSV-A TaqMan RT-PCR Kit comprises Master Mix for the target and PCR control detection, Primer & Probe Mix, as well as a positive control and a negative control (nuclease-free water) to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents.

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.

The NGS Single Stranded DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina platform) was developed for construction of high quality libraries using sheared single stranded DNA (50 ng – 500 ng) as input. The kit is ideal for making NGS libraries with samples of denatured DNA, viral DNA, highly degraded ancient DNA and other single stranded DNA. The workflow of the ssDNA kit is simple: make the libraries in two steps followed by PCR and cleanup steps. The libraries will be ready in just 1.5 hours with a 10 minutes of hands-on time. The library pooling is possible dependent on the type of index. The final library is strand specific.

NGS Single Stranded DNA Library Prep Kit workflow

Three index types are available for the kit:

Non-index (Cat.# 30081): Libraries do not have index.

Index(Cat.# 30082): Each of the index primers has a unique 6-base index sequence that can be used to identify libraries. ssDNA library multiplexing is up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.

Unique dual index (Cat.# 30083): ssDNA sample multiplexing up to 96 libraries is possible with unique dual indexes. We have developed a Four-Base Difference Index System. This makes it possible to generate indexes with at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8 bases index length. The unique dual indexing primers remove NGS errors (example: de-multiplexing errors, read mis-assignment, index hopping etc). Index information can be downloaded here.

Kit advantages:

• • • Quick and simple Protocol
      • Quick: Total protocol time is only 1.5 hours
      • Simple: Hands-on time only 10 minutes
    • Easy procedure based on:
      • The ready-to-use master mix: Made reaction setup easy
      • Less reaction components: Simplify the reaction preparation
    • Less magnetic beads needed: Reduced more than 50% of the beads for cleanup steps
    • Directional library
    • Single stranded DNA as input: From 50 ng to 500 ng

NGS Single Stranded DNA Library Prep Kit has similar library conversion efficiency and yield as compared to a regular DNA library prep kit.

Plasmid Purification Magnetic Beads (RNA Depletion)

Plasmid isolation from bacterial cultures is one of the most popular techniques in biomedical research and pharmaceutical industries. However, it is common that the isolated plasmid DNA is usually contaminated with varied degrees of host RNA. Plasmid purification is necessary to reduce the impact on downstream applications by removing RNA contamination.

We have developed a simple reagent to completely remove RNA contamination in the isolated plasmid samples using Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads. SPRI beads consist of paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind DNA. Our Plasmid Purification Magnetic Beads (RNA Depletion) combines BioDynami’s proprietary chemistries with the reversible DNA-binding properties of SPRI magnetic beads. The reagent removes RNA and recovers the plasmid in the same step.  Moreover, unwanted components such as salts, dNTPs, proteins, enzymes, and other impurities can also be removed simultaneously.

Plasmid can be used for downstream applications such as enzymatic digestion, transformation, transfection and molecular cloning etc.  The beads can be an effective and inexpensive reagent for bacterial RNA depletion for routine plasmid purification.

Features

• Effective depletion of bacterial RNA by RNase
• High recovery rate of plasmid DNA by magnetic beads
• Removal of unwanted components and impurities
• Simple and fast beads-based protocol
