Overview
- Ensure optimal results for sensitive applications like NGS
- Up to a tenfold increase in microRNA mapping during sequencing runs to reduce costs
- Purification and enrichment of intact cell culture media exosomes for functional studies
- No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required
- No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes required
- No precipitation reagents nor overnight incubation required
- Pure exosomes are purified and are free-from any other RNA-binding proteins
- Purification is based on EXTRAClean spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s EXTRAClean Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different cell culture media sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kits allows the user to elute into flexible elution volumes ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, Sequencing based applications, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
