Bis-propargyl-PEG9 is crosslinking reagent containing two propargyl groups. These functional groups enable the formation of triazole linkages with azide-bearing compounds with the presence of copper catalyst. The hydrophilicity of the molecule is improved because of the PEG chain. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Mini Kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 1 mL. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, NGS application, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
HL-dsDNase is especially developed to remove contaminating genomic DNA from RNA preparations. Figure 1 shows that HL-dsDNase can reduce 50 ng of human gDNA to levels non-detectable by qPCR. In figure 2, a human total RNA sample was treated with HL-dsDNase and analysed on the Bio-Rad Experion™ System. The results indicate that HL-dsDNase has minimal impact on RNA quality and quantity.
HL-dsDNase is an engineered version of dsDNase that is rapidly and completely inactivated by incubation for 5 minutes at 58°C with 1 mM DTT at pH 8.0 or above. Chemical inactivation in downstream compatible RT or PCR buffers allows milder heat inactivation and, in some cases, skipping heat inactivation altogether. This makes HL-dsDNase very useful for removal of DNA from RNA preparations since the enzyme may be inactivated using various strategies with reduced risk of auto-degradation of RNA in the presence of magnesium, making HL-dsDNase an ideal enzyme when working with small volumens of RNA.
HL-dsDNase is also an excellent choice for removal of unwanted external DNA from samples prior to analysis of nucleic acids protected by biological membranes, e.g., bacteria, viruses, and sperm. Especially if using downstream analysis methods that might be affected by host cell DNA, as metagenomic sequencing and STR-profiling. The easy inactivation of HL-dsDNase makes it a fast and efficient alternative to methods as differential extraction, where sample material is often lost.

Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads are a simple and effective reagent for DNA purification, but not for short oligo purification. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that can reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, SPRI beads can only purify DNA/RNA fragments that are 100 base pairs or longer. DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered.
Oligo purification can also be performed using spin column-based technology. The oligo size limitation for recovery is around 20 nt, as oligos under 20 nt have a very low recovery rate.
We have developed Magnetic Beads (Short Oligo Purification) Kit for short oligo purification. Our proprietary bead technology enables the recovery of oligos as short as 6 nt. 80% of the 6 nt oligos and 90% of the > 8 nt oligos can be recovered. The reagent also effectively removes impurities and unwanted components such as salts, proteins, dNTPs, detergents, and other contaminants. The magnetic bead reagents are RNase free, and can be used for both DNA and RNA applications.
Recovery rates of of short oligos. Oligos with different sizes were used as input. BioDynami Short Oligo Quantification Kit (Cat. # 40046) was used to quantify the recovery rates with modifications.
