Champion™ Competent Cells
pUC19 Control Plasmid (5 μl, 10-4 μg/μl)
Champion™ Transformation Protocol Card
Shipping condition
Throughout the shipping process, the temperature is maintained under -70°C.
Storage and expiration
Champion™ Competent Cells must be stored between -70°C to -80°C. Subsequent freeze-thaw cycles will reduce transformation efficiency. If high efficiency is required for the experiment, do not use aliquots that have gone through several freeze-thaw cycles. The efficiency of Champion™ Competent Cells lasts for 1 year with proper storage.

Overview
Isolate genomic DNA from either exfoliated cells or bacteria found in urine
Isolate and detect genomic DNA from as little as 1 mL of urine and up to 50 mL urine
High quality DNA for sensitive applications
Rapid processing time
Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit for Exfoliated Cells or Bacteria is designed for the rapid isolation of either: 1) human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract; or 2) bacterial genomic DNA from urine samples. The kit allows for the isolation of DNA from 1 to 50 mL of urine. The genomic DNA isolated from exfoliated cells can be used in a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers. Bacterial genomic DNA from both human urine samples and urine samples from animals can be isolated with this kit in order to study the levels and types of bacteria that are present. The kit allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, including E. coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp, Clostridial ssp. and Leptospirosis spp.Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Typical yields of human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells will vary depending on the cell density of the urine sample, which is affected by a number of factors including health, diet and sex of the individual donating the urine. Typical yields of bacterial genomic DNA will vary depending on the urine sample and the bacterial species, if any, present in the urine. Healthy humans generally have < 10, 000 CFU of bacteria per mL of urine, and this kit is sufficiently sensitive to isolate and detect DNA from even this minimal amount of bacteria. The genomic DNA purified with this kit is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and Southern Blot analysis.
10 minutes (Plus a 30 minute incubation – Bacteria) (Plus a 15 minute incubation – Exfoliated)
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. The kit contains a ready-to-use Proteinase K, which is dissolved in a specially prepared storage buffer. The buffered Proteinase K is stable for up to 2 years after the date of shipment when stored at room temperature.
PACE (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) genotyping chemistry is a homogeneous, PCR-based allele-specific technology for the analysis of DNA sequence variants, most commonly SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) and Indels (insertion / deletions).
PACE genotyping chemistry is comprised of two parts:
PACE Genotyping Assay: two allele-specific forward primers and one common, reverse primer. The allele-specific forward primers each have different 3′ terminal bases reflecting the target variant, and a unique 5’ tail sequence which is incorporated as part of the fluorescent signal mechanism.
PACE Genotyping Master Mix: containing all remaining components required for PCR and the generation of fluorescent signals. PACE Genotyping Master Mix contains a novel, universal, fluorescent reporting cassette to produce machine-readable fluorescent signals (FAM and HEX) corresponding to the assay genotypes.
When combined with sample DNA, these components create a PACE Genotyping Reaction, as illustrated in the figure below.
We have extensive knowledge and experience in assay design, especially when it comes to allele-specific PCR. PACE Genotyping Assays are available to purchase either Validated and Unvalidated. Validated assays require customer DNA to validate and optimise, for guaranteed performance. Unvalidated assays are designed in silico and supplied untested.
REQUIRED COMPONENTS
qPCR machine or Thermocycler + Fluorescent plate reader
PCR plate or equivalent and appropriate optically clear seal
Template DNA
PCR-grade water
PACE Genotyping Master Mix or PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix
STEPS TO YOUR PACE GENOTYPING ASSAY DESIGN
Place your order on this page. Our support team will contact you by email.
Fill out an Assay Design Template form with all the information we need to process your custom PACE Genotyping Assay order. We will email you a copy of the template when we first contact you, or your can download a copy here.
Using the information you provide us, we will create your PACE Genotyping Assay designs, order the oligos, and send you design sequences.
Once we receive the oligos, we assemble the assay(s) and then ship an aliquot to you (unvalidated) or test on your DNA samples before shipping the aliquot to you (validated).
Genotype directly from RNA samples. RNA reverse transcription and cDNA PCR genotyping simultaneously in a single, one-step reaction.
About
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix combines reverse transcription (RT) and PCR in a single step. This advanced master mix simplifies workflows by eliminating the need for separate reactions for reverse transcription of RNA to cDNA, and PCR amplification from the newly generated cDNA.
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix is highly efficient and sensitive, enabling detection of low-abundance RNA targets, particularly useful for applications such as gene expression analysis and viral RNA detection. ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix demonstrates robust performance across a wide range of RNA templates and can be employed for both routine and challenging samples.
