DBCO-PEG4-Desthiobiotin is a PEG linker containing a desthiobiotin group and a DBCO functional group. Desthiobiotin is used for affinity-based applications such as pull-down assays or for ligating with streptavidin proteins while DBCO is a click chemistry handle that quickly reacts with azide groups on target molecules. Desthiobiotin is a sulfur-free analogue of biotin which binds streptavidin with slightly less strength than biotin, which provides it with a soft-release characteristic that is useful for in pull-down assays by minimizing co-elution with endogenous biotinylated molecules. The inclusion of a PEG linker in this molecule improves its aqueous solubility.

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient spin column method for the isolation of high quality, high purity and inhibitor-free cell-free circulating DNA (cfc-DNA) from plasma/serum sample. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of cfc-DNA from either fresh or frozen plasma/serum samples and the purified DNA is eluted into a flexible elution volume ranging from 25 µL to 50 µL. The purified plasma/serum cfc-DNA is fully compatible with all downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR and Southern Blot analysis, microarrays and NGS.
Background
Plasma/Serum cell-free circulating DNA (cfc-DNA) has the potential to provide biomarkers for certain cancers and disease states as well as fetal DNA in maternal blood. Currently, significant advancements are being made in utilizing cfc-DNA as biomarkers for the early diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of therapy for several cancer types and autoimmune diseases. Cell-free mitocondrial DNA (cfmtDNA) is also under investigation for its clinical significance. This cfc-DNA is usually present as short fragments of less than 1000 bp. In addition, cell-free fetal DNA has been widely used as a non-invasive method for prenatal diagnosis including early identification of fetal sex, genetic studies for families at high risk for inherited genetic disorders, screening for Rhesus factor, screening for aneuploidy and identification of preeclampsia.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature (15-25°C) for up to 2 years without showing any reduction in performance. Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits contain ready-to-use Proteinase K solution, which is dissolved in a specially prepared storage buffer. The Proteinase K is stable for up to 2.5 years after delivery when stored at room temperature. To prolong the lifetime of Proteinase K, storage at 2–8°C is recommended.

The Phosphate Assay Kit is a rapid, simple, reliable and accurate method for the specific measurement and analysis of phosphate in water, foodstuffs, beverages and other materials. The phosphate detection reaction employs the defined chemical substrate 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine ribonucleoside (MESG). In the presence of phosphate, the substrate is converted enzymatically by purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) to the products ribose 1-phosphate and 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine. An application note describes the dephosphorylation reaction of phytic acid using phytase and alkaline phosphatase (sold separately), and subsequent phosphate detection using the reagents provided in K-PHOS.
This method is suitable for analysis using spectrophotometer and auto-analyser.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved.
