DBCO-NHCO-PEG4-acid is an analog of DBCO-Acid with a hydrophilic PEG spacer arm, which improves water solubility. This reagent is a non-activated building block with enhanced solubility in aqueous media and can thus be used to derivatize amine-containing molecule through a stable amide bond. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Background
Recent evidence indicates that cell-free circulating RNA (cf-RNA) including exosomal RNA in urine contains valuable information for the discovery of biomarkers that can help for the early detection of certain cancer types and for monitoring the disease status as well as for the detection of any infectious pathogens. Exosomes can be found in saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid and malignant ascitic fluids, among other biological fluids. Evidence has been accumulating recently that these vesicles act as cellular messengers, conveying information to distant cells and tissues within the body. These exosomes may play a functional role in mediating adaptive immune responses to infectious agents and tumours, tissue repair, neural communication and transfer of pathogenic proteins. For this reason exosomal RNAs may serve as biomarkers for various diseases including cancer. The advantage for using urine as a source for cancer biomarkers is that it can be acquired in large quantities without using invasive procedures. In addition, repeated sampling from the same individual is applicable, which facilitates longitudinal studies. There are many advantages favouring the use of urinary nucleic acid for cancer biomarker discovery over blood, tissue samples or other bodily fluids, including: (1) urine is non-infectious for HIV and less infectious for many other pathogens; (2) the profile of urinary nucleic acid is similar to that in plasma or serum but with a lower concentration; (3) Nucleic acid purification from urine is technically much easier because of its low protein concentration (1000-fold lower than blood).

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.
The Opentrons 24-well Aluminum Block can be placed directly on the OT-2/Opentrons Flex deck or on the Opentrons Temperature Module. This block acts as a 24 position rack to keep 2mL tubes, 1.5mL tubes, and the NEST 0.5mL tubes at constant temperature. The aluminum block holds temperatures between 4°C and 95°C when used with the Opentrons Temperature Module (GEN2).

NGS DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms)
Product Info

Product Info
The kit was developed for construction of high quality libraries for next generation sequencing (illumina and MGI Platforms). The kit needs double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library preparation, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic methods and physical methods (sonication, nebulization etc.). Library multiplexing is possible with different types of indexes.
The kit was optimized for next generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation with different types of samples. Most of DNA library preparation requires the ligation of sheared DNA fragments to library adaptors and the DNA library preparation is closely related to the quality of NGS data. With BioDynami’s unique DNA library preparation technologies, the fast and simple kit allows high quality NGS library preparation to be completed in 1.5 hours with only 10 minutes of hands-on time.
Some genomic regions are very difficult to be covered evenly and usually result in very low coverage rate or gap in these regions.
Typical difficult regions are: • with high GC contents • have secondary structures: mainly due to repeat sequences • the worst cases: have both high GC contents and repeated sequences.
Example: human TERT gene is one of the most difficult regions as shown above. NGS data showed that BioDynami kit has the best performance to cover the extremely difficult human TERT gene region.
Three index types are available for the illumina platform kits:
Non-index (illumina Cat.# 30009): Libraries do not have index.
Index (illumina Cat.# 30021): A unique barcode sequence with 6 bases has been included in each of the index primers. RNA Sequencing library multiplexing is possible with up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (illumina Cat.# 30023): RNA Sequencing library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible with the unique dual indexes. We have developed a 4-Base Difference Index System. The system can generate indexes with at least 4 bases different from others in the 8-base indexing region. the unique dual indexing primers identify sequencing errors such as index hopping, mis-assignment, and de-multiplexing errors. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34021).
