Norgen’s Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits constitute an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of exosomal RNA from different cell culture media sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Norgen’s PCR and Sequencing Reaction Clean-Up Kit (Magnetic Bead System) provides a rapid, simple and efficient procedure for the purification and clean-up of sequencing and various other enzymatic reactions including restriction enzyme digests, Klenow reactions, alkaline phosphatase reactions, and ligations. The kit is used to remove reaction contaminants including dye terminators, salts, enzymes, excess primers and primer dimers. Contaminants are undesirable as they can interfere with many downstream applications including sequencing, RFLP, restriction enzyme digestions and ligation. Purification is based on magnetic beads without the use of phenol, chloroform or alcohol precipitation. The kit provides a high quality product with up to 90% recovery.
Norgen’s PCR and Sequencing Reaction Clean-Up Kit (Magnetic Bead System) is also available in a 96-well format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be integrated with a robotic automation system.
