The CellG5 assay reagent for the measurement of endo-cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) contains two components; 1) 4,6-O-(3-Ketobutylidene)-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellopentaoside (BPNPG5) and 2) thermostable β-glucosidase. The ketone blocking group prevents any hydrolytic action by the β-glucosidase on BPNPG5. Incubation with an endo-cellulase generates a non-blocked colourimetric oligosaccharide that is rapidly hydrolysed by the ancillary β-glucosidase. The rate of formation of 4-nitrophenol is therefore directly related to the hydrolysis of BPNPG5 by the endo-cellulase. The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).

The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).
The CellG5 assay represents a huge step forward in the methodology for the measurement of cellulase that traditionally relied on substrates such as CM-cellulose, Avicel, cellooligosaccharides, filter paper or dyed polysaccharides including CMC Congo red or cellulose azure.

Product Info
The series of DNA Size Selection Kits (Magnetic Beads) were developed for DNA size selection using magnetic beads. A total of 11 kits are available, with different selection ranges spanning from 50 bp to over 10 kb. The kits provide a simple and quick approach for the enrichment of a specific range of DNA fragments. The kit workflow allows double-sided or single-sided size selection for specific size cutoffs.

DNA size selection is a selective capture of DNA fragments of a specific range of size for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparations, PCR, ChIP assay, DNA ligations, endonuclease digestions, adapter removal, and other genomics and molecular biology applications. DNA size selection is preferred after NGS library prep in most of the cases. The NGS library preparation is related to the quality of the sequencing data. Precise NGS library size selection can increase sequencing efficiency, improve data quality, and reduce costs.
There are two types of sequencing technologies: short-read sequencing and long-read sequencing. Short-read sequencing uses DNA libraries that contain small insert DNA fragments of similar sizes, usually several hundred base pairs. The sequencing efficiency can be improved if the DNA size selection is in the right range. Cat.# 20104S and 20104L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 100 (PE100) sequencing with 100-200 bp library inserts; Cat.# 20105S and 20105L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 150 (PE150) sequencing with 150-300 bp library inserts; and Cat.# 20106S and 20106L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 300 (PE300) sequencing with 300-600 bp library inserts.
Long-read sequencing uses a large DNA fragment as input and makes very long reads. Usually, library size selection is preferred to remove smaller fragments. Cat.# 20110S and 20110L are the best kits for long-read sequencing size selection with DNA sizes >5 kb, and Cat.# 20111S and 20111L are the best kits for long-read sequencing size selection with DNA sizes >10 kb.
The magnetic beads technology uses paramagnetic particles, also known as SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization) beads, to bind DNA reversibly and selectively. DNA fragments can be size-selected and purified by changing the properties of the magnetic beads or SPRI beads. The magnetic beads can easily separate the beads-binding DNA from the contaminants and unwanted components in the samples. The samples after DNA size selection are free of contaminants such as buffer components, enzymes, proteins, salts, dNTPs, primers, and adapters. Our proprietary magnetic beads reagents improve yield, selectivity, and reproducibility.
Specific DNA fragments at a certain length range can be purified simply using magnetic separation with different beads components, avoiding tedious and time-consuming gel extraction and column-based purification. The magnetic beads method is popular for common DNA size selection, including library size selection. The first beads-binding step, referred to as the right-side clean-up, removes large DNA fragments. The large DNA fragments are bound to the beads and are discarded. The desired DNA fragments in the supernatant are transferred to a new well, and new beads are added to the supernatant for the second beads-binding, referred to as the left-side clean-up. The double-size selected DNA fragments are eluted after ethanol rinsing.
DNA size selection with dual clean-ups.
.
A single clean-up is needed for DNA size selection with large fragments. In this case, only the large DNA fragments are bound to the beads. The selected larger DNA fragments are eluted after ethanol rinsing.

Principle
This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.
Advantages
High binding force – suitable for handling DNA rich samples, such as whole blood, buffy coat, concentrated blood, etc.
High purity – carboxyl magnetic beads with weak surface adsorption, getting higher purity
General – can be used for various clinical samples

All-in-one solution for inclusion body protein isolation and purification
Fast and convenient spin column protocol
Complete kit with Cell Lysis Reagent, Inclusion Body Solubilization Reagent, buffers and spin columns to purify proteins
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix
These kits provide everything required to isolate and purify inclusion body proteins from induced bacterial cultures. First a proprietary Cell Lysis Reagent is used to selectively lyse the cells and release inclusion bodies in their solid form. Next, inclusion bodies are dissolved and their contents released using the provided IB Solubilization Reagent. Inclusion body proteins are then further purified using spin columns for rapid and convenient buffer exchange and desalting. This kit provides a convenient way to screen recombinants prior to scaling up.
ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Micro Kit
The process is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 12 samples in only 60 minutes. Each spin column is able to recover up to 50 µg of acidic or basic proteins. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.
ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Maxi Kit
The procedure is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 4 samples in approximately 2 hours. Each spin column is able to recover up to 12 mg of acidic or basic proteins from 100 mL of induced bacterial culture. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.
About Inclusion Bodies
Bacteria are widely used for the expression of different proteins. However, 70-80% of the proteins expressed in bacteria by recombinant techniques are typically contained in insoluble inclusion bodies (i.e., protein aggregates). The protein of interest found in these subcellular structures is often inactive, due to incorrect folding. The production rate of recombinant proteins stored in inclusion bodies is invariably higher than those synthesized as soluble proteins. The reason behind this is thought to be the resistance of insoluble proteins to proteolysis by cellular enzymes. In addition, separation of insoluble recombinant proteins in inclusion bodies is considerably easier than that of soluble proteins. These factors have been the major influences favoring scale-up of high-value proteins using bacterial fermentation for example. Procedures for the purification of the expressed proteins from inclusion bodies are often labour-intensive, time-consuming and not cost-effective. This kit provides the essential reagents for cell disruption, inclusion body solubilization and purification using spin column chromatography – all optimized to work together thereby simplifying the process and saving a tremendous amount of time and cost.
Storage Conditions The Cell Lysis Reagent and IB Solubilization Reagent should be stored at 4°C upon receipt of this kit. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. Once opened, the solutions should be stored at 4°C when not in use except for Binding Buffer C and Binding Buffer N. Some precipitation will occur with 4°C storage.
