Cytokeratin 18 (CK18) is present in simple, glandular, and transitional epithelial cells, but is absent in stratified epithelial cells. CK18 usually multimerizes with Cytokeratin 8, and Anti-Cytokeratin 18 is useful for detecting adenocarcinomas of simple and glandular epithelium origin, as well as poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma cells.

The Opentrons Flex Waste Chute GEN1 occupies position D3 and is used to accept waste such as tips, tip racks, and plates in high volumes. The gripper will pick up the consumable and dispose it into the chute based on your workflow needs. The waste chute is neccesary for all high-throughput workflows and can be paired with the Opentrons Flex Deck Expansion Set to maximize the throughput capabilities of the Opentrons Flex. The following consumables can disposed of into the waste chute:
– NEST 2 mL Deep Well Plate, V Bottom
– Opentrons Tough 0.2 mL 96-Well PCR Plate, Full Skirt
– NEST 96 well Plate Flat
– All Opentrons Flex tip racks

This kit enables the rapid purification of amplified DNA products from PCR mixes. It is able to effectively remove PCR by-products including primers, dimers, enzymes, unincorporated nucleotides and mineral oil from the desired PCR product. The purified PCR products are fully compatible with restriction enzyme digestion, ligation into vectors, labeling, sequencing and more. This kit can also be used as an alternative to organic extraction and ethanol precipitation to clean up various enzymatic reactions.
The kit is also available in a 96-well format for high-throughput PCR purification. Purification with the 96-well plate can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.

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.
