GeneAb™ CD2

Description

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Overview

• Extract high quality & quantity total RNA including miRNA
• No phenol step required – isolate all RNA in one fraction
• Rapid processing in under 40 minutes
• Isolate total RNA from a wide variety of specimens
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

Norgen’s Total RNA Purification Maxi Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA from cultured animal cells, tissue samples, blood, bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants, and viruses. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Norgen’s Purification Technology

Purification is based on spin column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins without the use of phenol or chloroform. The process involves first lysing the cells or tissue of interest with the provided Buffer RL (please see the flow chart on page 4). Ethanol is then added to the lysate, and the solution is loaded onto a maxi spin column. Norgen’s resin binds RNA in a manner that depends on ionic concentrations. Thus only the RNA will bind to the column, while the contaminating proteins will be removed in the flowthrough or retained on the top of the resin. The bound RNA is then washed with the provided Wash Solution A in order to remove any remaining impurities, and the purified total RNA is eluted with the Elution Solution A. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications.

N-(Propargyl-PEG4-carbonyl)-N-bis(PEG1-acid) is a crosslinker that can react with azide compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry to form a stable triazole linkage. The terminal carboxylic acids can react with primary amino groups in the presence of activators (e.g. HATU) to form a stable amide bond.
