Overview

• CE-IVD marked in accordance with EU Directive 98/79/EC
• Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
• Unlike other methods, Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit (Slurry Method) does not require any additional urine concentrating devices
• Fast processing time
• Purify both genomic and apoptotic DNA with one protocol
• Isolate DNA from 3 mL to 25 mL of urine
• Allows for purification of viral DNA from urine also
• Available in Spin Column and 96-well format

This kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating DNA from urine volumes ranging from 3 mL to 25 mL. Both high molecular weight DNA (greater than 1 kb in size; mostly cell associated) and the smaller DNA (150 – 250 bp; derived from the circulation) is effectively isolated and purified with a rapid and convenient spin column protocol. Multiple samples can be processed in 45 minutes. Salts, metabolic wastes, proteins and other contaminants are removed to yield inhibitor-free DNA for use in sensitive applications such as PCR, qPCR, DNA fingerprinting, methylation studies and more. This kit can also be used to isolate DNA from a broad range of viruses. 

This kit is fully compatible with Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes.

Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit Dx (Slurry Format) does not provide a diagnostic result. It is the sole responsibility of the user to use and validate the kit in conjunction with a downstream in vitro diagnostic assay.

NOTE: This product is not available for sale in the United States.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. All solutions and plastics can be used until the expiration date specified on their labels. It is recommended to warm Solution A and Solution B for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed

Overview

• Preservation and isolation of both cf-DNA and cf-RNA from a single tube
• Fixative-free preservative, no cross-linking of DNA
• Preserve cf-DNA/ct-DNA for 30 days at ambient temperature and for up to 8 days at 37°C
• Preserve cf-RNA for 30 days at ambient temperature
• Preserve Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) for 14 days at ambient temperature
• No plasma volume loss after shipping/transportation
• Prevent hemolysis allowing better separation of plasma
• Prevent apoptosis of blood cells and fragmentation of genomic DNA
• Produce high quality/quantity of plasma cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA
• Vacuumed to draw 8.7 mL of blood in 10 mL tubes
• The procedure for plasma isolation using this kit is compliant with ISO 20186-3:2019

Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes are closed, evacuated plastic tubes for the collection and the preservation of cf-DNA, circulating tumor DNA, cf-RNA and circulating tumor cells in human whole blood samples during storage and shipping. Using these tubes in combination with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits or Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kits enables the purification and concentration of an inhibitor-free cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA in a very small elution volume. Plasma recovered from Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes is also compatible with any other cf-DNA and/or cf-RNA purification method. The purified cf-DNA, ct-DNA and cf-RNA are compatible with any downstream application assays, including PCR, qPCR, rt-qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR, Southern Blot analysis, gene expression analysis, microarrays and NGS.

This product is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Performance

Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes abridge the collection/processing of whole blood for the subsequent purification of cf-DNA and/or cf-RNA. The cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes preserve and inhibit the programmed cell-death (apoptosis) of the blood, hence preventing the release of intracellular DNA/RNA into plasma. Whole blood samples can be shipped and stored at room temperature for the subsequent processing of plasma. The cf/ct DNA and cf-RNA levels are stable for up to 30 days at room temperature. The cf-DNA is also stable for up to 8 days at 37°C. When blood collected on Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA tubes is processed for plasma recovery no buffy coat will be generated and the Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) will be located at the bottom of the tube with the blood sediment. CTCs are stable for 14 days at room temperature where it can be extracted from the blood sediment or from whole preserved blood for cell sorting or for cf/DNA or cf-RNA purification.

Plasma samples produced from the whole blood sample collected into Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes and purified using Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits or Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kits yield concentrated, high-quality and inhibitor-free cf-DNA/ct-DNA or cf-RNA for any downstream application.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability

1. When stored at 15-30°C, unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes are stable through the expiration date.  See tube label for expiry date.
2. Short-term storage/shipping at -20°C to 37°C for up to 10 days is acceptable for unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes.
3. Do not freeze unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes for long term storage over 10 days. Freezing unfilled tubes may lead to loss of vacuum and precipitation may occur.
4. Cell-free DNA in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes is stable for up to 30 days when stored at room temperature (15-25°C)
5. Cell-free DNA in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes is stable for up to 8 days when stored at 37ºC.
6. Cell-free RNA in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes is stable for up to 30 days when stored at room temperature (15-25°C)
7. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes are stable for up to 14 days at room temperature (15-25ºC).

Introduction

This kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from cells, tissues, and yeast 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. RNA purified using the HiPure Total RNA Purification System can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Specifications

Principle

The Kit isolates total RNA from up to 10⁷ cells or 20 mg tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 25 mins. Samples are first lysed and homogenized. The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column, ethanol is added to the flow-through, and the sample is applied to a RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 30µl water using the Kit.

Advantages

• Efficient removal of DNA – unique genomic DNA removal column without DNase treatment
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 25 minutes by column method
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
