Brevetoxins (PbTx) are a class of cyclic polyether compounds produced by certain algae such as Karenia brevis. K. brevis can produce Brevetoxins in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major health threat and are important to monitor and mitigate. Brevetoxins are the causative agent of Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP).

Product Info
Overview
Peelable heat sealing film which is optically clear. Seal is suitable for qPCR and optical applications.
Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
Our ClearASeal Peel is an optically clear laminate film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays
The ClearASeal Peel forms a complete seal to a plate enabling both low temperature uses, including low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid)
This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT
Our sheet seals are inter-leaved with paper sheets to help denote which side is the sealing side and aid removal of one sheet at a time from the pack

Simultaneously clean-up and normalize PCR products
Fast (less than 20 minutes), high-throughput and easy processing using centrifugation
Sufficient elution volume (100 µL) for repeat or future assays
Non-magnetic bead purification
Norgen’s NGS Normalization 96-Well Kit allows for high-throughput NGS library PCR amplicon clean-up and normalization of NGS library PCR product concentration. The clean-up removes all PCR by-products including primers, dimers, enzymes and unincorporated nucleotides during the library prep PCR step. Purification is based on 96-well column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. The amount of Norgen’s matrix in each 96 well is optimized to have a limited binding capacity, thus each well can elute an equal concentration of PCR product. The process involves first adding 3 volumes of Buffer SK to the PCR product, and the mixture is then loaded onto the 96-Well Normalization Plate. The bound PCR amplicon is then washed with the provided Wash Solution A in order to remove any remaining impurities, and the purified PCR amplicon is eluted with Elution Buffer B. The purified and normalized library PCR amplicon can then be used in NGS workflows and other sequencing applications.
Storage Conditions All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.
NGS Library Quantification Standards With PCR Primers

Product Info
The NGS Library Quantification Standards with PCR Primers (for illumina platform) were developed for quantification of the NGS library concentration for illumina sequencing platform. It is comprised of Library Standards (six 10-fold dilutions) and a primer mix.
Quantification of the NGS library of the amplifiable molecules is critical for the quality of the sequencing data. Adequate library concentration will maximize sequencing capacity. Poor library concentration results in either low or high cluster density on the flow cell, which can lead to low sequencing capacity.
It is not accurate to measure the concentration of NGS library with standard DNA quantification methods such as spectrophotometer or fluorometer. QPCR is the best way for library quantification with high consistency and reproducibility of library quantitation.
BioDynami Library Quantification Standards with PCR Primers (for illumina platform): Amplification curve of 6 standards.
Our reagent is a highly sensitive, Real time PCR-based quantification that specifically designed for NGS libraries using illumina sequencing platform. The amplification uses illumina adaptor sequences as primers, and only the fully adaptor-ligated libraries will be amplified. Therefore the reagent provides an accurate estimation of the library concentration based on true sequenceable illumina libraries. In addition, this kit can also be used for confirmation of ligation reaction after completion of library preparation.
Our library quantification standards is compatible with commercial SYBR Green based QPCR reagents. This makes it more flexible for scientists who want to use their real time PCR reagent. Quantification of library concentration is achieved by comparison with a standard curve generated from the Library Standards.
