GeneAb™ TAG-72

Overview

• Fast and easy processing using rapid spin-column format
• Isolate high quality mitochondrial DNA
• Recovered DNA is compatible with various downstream applications

Over the past several decades, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has played an increasingly important role in forensic analyses of various criminal cases. A few hairs left at a crime scene contain enough mtDNA for extraction. The hair shaft, which protrudes out of the scalp, does not contain any nuclear DNA. It does, however, contain mtDNA. While nuclear DNA is present in only two copies per cell, the small circular mtDNA molecule is present in hundreds to thousands of copies per cell making it very abundant. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, and all of a woman’s offspring will have the same mtDNA profile. An advantage of this is that a single maternal relative of that person may provide a reference sample for comparison to a sample found at a crime scene.

Norgen’s Hair Mitochondrial DNA Isolation Kit provides a fast, reliable, and simple procedure for isolating mtDNA from hair shafts. Purification is based on spin column chromatography and the DNA is preferentially purified from other components. Typical yields will vary depending on the sample input volume used. The purified DNA is compatible with all downstream applications including PCR and NGS.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
Store DTT at -20°C upon arrival. All other solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year in their unopened containers. The kit contains a ready to-use Proteinase K solution, which is dissolved in a specially prepared storage buffer. The Proteinase K is stable for up to 2 years after delivery when stored at room temperature. To prolong the lifetime of Proteinase K, storage at 2–8°C is recommended.

DBCO-TFP ester is an amine-reactive, labeling reagent used to modify proteins, antibodies, and other amine-containing biopolymers. The highly reactive DBCO group can be used in copper-free click reactions. The TFP ester can react with primary amine groups and is also less susceptible to undergo hydrolysis compared to NHS ester. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Description

Our SNPsig® kits use our own proprietary genotyping method to enable the identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. These products can be used on any real-time PCR machine using familiar protocols, whilst resulting in exceptional genotyping data.

Positive control templates for wild-type and variants are supplied in every kit to make data interpretation simple.

Our SNPsig® technology provides an alternative to sequencing as well as S gene target failure (SGTF) that enables scientists to analyse and monitor these specific genomic mutations.  Our kits can provide a pivotal role in screening for SARS-CoV-2 variants for the purpose of genomic surveillance and studies.
