Attogene’s Microcystin Test Kit (Rapid – Recreational Water) can be used to detect microcystins in liquid samples; highly sensitive, rapid, robust screening kit for algae toxins microcystins and nodularins.
The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.
A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on different numeric thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in recreational waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions—such as posting information about harmful algal blooms (HABs), issuing a recreational public health advisory, or temporarily closing recreational waters through a no contact advisory—depending on the severity of the bloom event.
Microcystin-LR
Informational sign postings about HABs at recreational waters: < 6 μg/L Recreational public health advisory: 6 μg/L Elevated recreational public health advisory (e.g. no contact): 20 μg/L

Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable, reproducible, and simple procedure for isolating circulating RNA and exosomal RNA from various urine inputs ranging from 250 μL and up to 30 mL. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extensions, and expression array assays.
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Mini Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 2 mL
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Midi Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 2mL to 10mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of urine that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL
EXTRAClean Cell-Free Circulating RNA Purification Maxi Kit: For sample volumes ranging from 10 mL to 30 mL. The first column will handle the large volume input of urine that is followed by a concentration on a mini column for a final elution of 50 μL to 100 μL.
All sizes, including miRNA and small RNA (< 200 nt)

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These kits are 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.
Biotin is extensively used in combination with streptavidin in biological assays. Our biotin detection kits have multiple applications in detecting biotin attachment and efficiency of conjugation during biotinylation processes. These kits are perfect for understanding the efficiency of the reaction and free biotin in your solutions that can interfear with Streptavidin-biotin interactions.
Attogene offers three kits to detect and quantify biotin using three different technologies including Lateral Flow, ELISA and Chemical. these kits are accurate and sensitive compared with common instrumental analysis.
Can be used to calculate the amount of biotin in liquid samples including biological samples including biotinylated antibody, free biotin in solution, foods, plasma and serum as needed. Also, can be used to quantify the % biotinylation following standard biotinylation reactions.
Highly Sensitive, rapid, robust screening kit for Biotin Useful for detecting and quantifying biotin in biological samples Adaptable for detecting biotin in food samples
