ITS1 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina
Product Info

Product Info
Overview
Protocol optimized for DNA isolated from a diversity of samples including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin, and more
Simple and quick workflow: library could be prepared in less than 4 hours
Component of Norgen’s metagenomics workflow
A single NGS run can be prepared with up to 384 unique dual-index libraries
The ITS1 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the fungal target ITS1 libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XPMagneticBeads(supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal/swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.
The ITS1 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the ITS1 region of the fungal DNA.The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XPbeads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XPbeads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability Norgen’s ITS1 Library Prep Kit for Illumina is shipped as one kit box (for the 24 prep kit) or two sub-component kits (for the 96 prep kit). All kits should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
All kit components will remain stable for at least 1 year when stored at the specified storage conditions.
Tyrosinase Inhibitor Screening Kit (Colorimetric) provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test suitable for high-throughput screening of tyrosinase inhibitors. Tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine, producing a chromophore that can be detected at OD = 510 nm. In the presence of kojic Acid, a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase, the rate of oxidation of the substrate is decreased.
Tyrosinase or polyphenol oxidase is an oxidoreductase that participates in the biosynthesis of melanin, a ubiquitous biological pigment found in hair, eyes, skin, etc. Inhibition of tyrosinase has been a long-time target in the skin health research, cosmetics and agricultural industries because of its role in browning reactions in skin pigmentation and during fruit harvesting and handling.

NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms)
Product Info
Document
Product Info
The NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for the construction of high quality FFPE DNA libraries using 10 ng to 400 ng of input DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. The DNA damage caused by fixation makes it difficult to construct high quality libraries. Our kit has been optimized to repair damaged DNA in the reactions. Multiplexing of the NGS FFPE DNA Library is possible.
NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
FFPE samples are a great resource for biomedical research. However, the methods for fixation and condition of storage significantly damage the DNA in the samples. Thus, the extraction of high quality DNA from FFPE samples is often a challenge. Low yield and low quality of FFPE DNA usually are common because of the limited tissue material and the DNA degradation.
As a result, it is usually difficult to construct high quality NGS libraries from low amount and low quality of FFPE DNA. In order to address this issue, we have developed the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit to make high quality libraries from the low input of FFPE DNA samples.
Three index types are available for the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30035): Libraries do not have index.
Index (Cat.# 30037): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode DNA (6 bases long) that can be used to identify individual library. Multiplexing of libraries is up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30039): FFPE DNA library multiplexing is possible with 96 samples based on the unique dual indexing system. Our unique Four–Base Difference Index System allows us to make indexes that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base index sequence. Our unique dual indexing primers can effectively remove NGS errors including index hopping, de-multiplexing errors, index cross-contamination, mis-assignments etc. The unique dual index primer set includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of i5 and i7 index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34037).
Kit advantages:
Fast and simple protocol
Making libraries in just 1.5 hours
10 minutes of hands-on time
Easy procedure
Ready-to-use master mix to reduce the tedious mixing
Less reaction components to simplify the reaction setup
Less magnetic beads needed for the purification steps: saving more than 50% of the expensive beads
Low input FFPE DNA: From 10 ng to 400 ng
Comparison of library conversion efficiency under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
Comparison of library yield under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
