E. coli O157:H7 is a rod-shaped, gram negative bacterium. It is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the common E. coli bacterium and infection by the O157:H7 strain is commonly associated with hemorrhagic colitis. E. coli O157:H7 is recognized by its somatic (cell wall) antigen (O157) and its flagella antigen (H7). In addition, E. coli O157:H7 is known to produce Shiga-like toxins, which cause severe symptoms. While most patients can recover from the infection, up to 15% of the patients may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure that could be fatal. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 usually results from consumption of poorly prepared food including undercooked meat (particularly ground beef), untreated water or raw unpasteurized milk.

Norovirus is a single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Caliciviridae family. Norovirus is considered the major causative agent of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. The main channel of transmittance is via contaminated food or water, as well as human-to-human contact. Most Noroviruses infecting humans belong to genogroup I and II (particularly genotype 4). Norovirus is very stable in the environment and is resistant to some surface disinfectants such as alcohols and detergents. Moreover, it is very difficult to culture Norovirus in vitro, making its identification by standard microbiological assays challenging.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
The Opentrons Flex 96-Channel Tip Rack Adapter allows the Opentrons Flex 96-channel pipette head to be compatible with Flex tips. The adapter is placed on the work table below the tip rack to ensure the rack is secured.

The Kit is designed for purification of total RNA, including miRNA and other small RNA molecules (18nt), from cultured cells and various animal and human tissues, including difficult-to-lyse tissues samples. Alternatively, a miRNA-enriched fraction and a total RNA (>200nt) fraction can be purified separately. This Kit combines phenol/guanidine-based lysis of samples and silica membrane–based purification of total RNA. MagZol Reagent, included in the kits, is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine thiocyanate, designed to facilitate lysis of tissues, to inhibit RNases, and also to remove most of the cellular DNA and proteins from the lysate by organic extraction.

Main Functions
Isolation miRNA and other small RNA molecules(18nt), from cultured cells and various animal and human tissues, using MagZol reagent and column
Applications
RT-PCR, Northern Blot, poly A+purification, nucleic acid protection and in vitro translation
Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such asguanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein andother impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.
This kit combines acid/guanidine (MagZol) extraction technology with glass fiber filter membrane purification, which can improve the extraction effect of complex samples and samples with low RNA content. After the sample is treated with MagZol reagent and chloroform, the supernatant is added with ethanol to provide appropriate binding conditions, then transferred to the purification column and centrifuged. Macromolecular RNA can be efficiently bound to the membrane. Collect the filtrate containing small RNA, add more ethanol to adjust the binding capacity of small RNA, the pollutants can be efficiently washed away by second cleaning. Finally, the purified RNA was eluted by RNase free water.
Advantages
High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes
High applicability – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc.
High concentration – efficiently remove macromolecular RNA, enrich small RNA and improve sensitivity

Storage and Stability
MagZol Reagent should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
