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.

Norgen’s Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices are designed for simple and non-invasive saliva collection and preservation of RNA in saliva samples at ambient temperature. Each of the 50 Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components:
Saliva samples are collected by spitting inside the Collection Funnel which has been assembled with the Collection Tube. After collecting the required volume of saliva the Collection Funnel is removed and the contents of the Preservative Ampoule are then added and mixed with the collected saliva. The Saliva Collection Tube is subsequently sent to the laboratory for RNA isolation and analysis. RNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kits (Cat# 69100, 69300). Each of Norgen’s Collection Tubes is labeled with a unique serial number that can be used for secure and anonymous tracking of the sample. The Saliva RNA in preserved samples is stable for up to 2 months at room temperature. This kit is ideal for collecting and preserving RNA samples for epidemiological and population studies.
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Preservative is an aqueous storage buffer designed for rapid cellular lysis and subsequent preservation of RNA from fresh specimens. The buffer eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperature. The components of the buffer allow samples to be stored for up to 2 months at room temperature.
Saliva RNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kits (Cat# 69100, 69300).

Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of Chlamydia, is a Gram negative bacteria. Transmission of the bacteria occurs via contact with infected bodily fluids which then infect mucosal membranes. It can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and infect the eyes causing conjunctivitis. The genital infection causes urethritis, epididymitis and prostatitis in males and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in females with an increased risk of contracting HIV. The infection can be treated with a course of antibiotics. Sexually transmitted infections in females are most often asymptomatic, but can be noticeable in chronic pain of the pelvic region, vaginal bleeding and painful urination. Infection of the ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can lead to difficulties in conceiving, increased risk of ectopic pregnancy or infertility. Infections in males are more likely to be symptomatic, causing painful urination, discharge from the penis and swollen testicles and may eventually cause infertility if left untreated.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative coccus of the Neisseria genus. N. gonorrhoeae is usually seen in pairs infecting human cells. It has a circular DNA genome of approximately 1Mbp encoding over 2000 genes. N. gonorrhoeae is transmitted by sexual contact and usually causes infection in cells of the mucous membrane of the male urethra or the endocervix and urethra in females. During infection, polysaccharides are released from the bacteria that stimulate host cell production of tumour necrosis factors that cause an inflammatory response. There is no vaccine against N. gonorrhoeae infection and antibiotic resistance is beginning to increase, therefore treatment includes a course of antibiotics that will be effective against resistant strains. Complications in males caused by the infection can result in prostatitis or orchitis if the bacteria spread. In females, invasion of the fallopian tubes or ovaries can result in salpingitis or ovaritis respectively, with any of these infections possibly resulting in sterility.

Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester has one of the functional groups protected by t-butyl group. The protection can be removed under acidic conditions. The propargyl group forms triazole linkages with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry. The PEG units help improving the water-solubility of the molecule in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
