Overview

• All shipping requirements in one convenient mailer
• Leak-proof biohazard bags with adsorbent pads for enhanced safety
• Matches the standards of OSHA as well as the IATA regulations

Norgen’s Shipping Accessories provides a safe and convenient tool for shipping non-infectious biological specimens. The accessories are contained in individual SHIP TO envelopes that are used for shipping of both the accessories as well as the individual sample collection device to the donor/user.

Each SHIP TO envelope contains:

1. A Biohazard Specimen Bag with absorbent pad;
2. A Bubble Envelope labeled as “Exempt Human Specimen”;
3. 2 blank labels; 
4. Shipping Instructions

The Biohazard Specimen Bag is a sure-seal zipper bag to hold the collected specimen and protect against accidental spills. The bag contains an absorbent pad that can adsorb up to 4 mL of liquid and meets current labeling requirements of OSHA standard 29CFR1910.1030 regarding biohazard symbols. The Bubble Envelope is used as a RETURN envelope for the donor/user to ship the collected sample back to the lab for analysis. The user will first place the collected sample into the Biohazard Specimen Bag, and then place the Biohazard Specimen Bag into the Bubble Envelope. The Bubble Envelope protects against moisture and punctures, and facilitates smooth insertion with convenient self-sealing closure. The 2 labels are used for both the outer SHIP TO envelope and the RETURN bubble envelope. The SHIP TO label will be filled out to contain the mailing information of the donor and the RETURN label will be filled out to contain the address to which the sample should be returned. The labels can be supplied as sheets together with the word template file for ease of printing. Norgen’s Shipping Accessories match the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

Introduction

The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from whole blood, cells and tissues using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol / chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. The purified RNA can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection and in vitro translation.

Principle

The Kit simplifies isolation of RNA from blood with a fast spin-column procedure. Red blood cells are selectively lysed and white cells collected by centrifugation. White cells are then lysed using highly denaturing conditions which immediately inactivate RNases. After homogenization using the DNA spin column, the sample is applied to the RNA column. Total RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away, leaving pure RNA to be eluted in 30–100µl RNase-free water (provided with the kit) for direct use in any downstream application.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 20 minutes by using column purification method
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG

Storage and Stability

HiPure Blood RNA Mini Kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used. During shipment, crystals or precipitation may form in the RTL Lysis Buffer. Dissolve by warming buffer to 37°C.
