Introduction
The HiPure Liquid RNA & miRNA Kit integrates phenol/guanidine-based sample lysis and silica membrane purification of total RNA. MagZol LS Reagent, included in the kits, is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine thiocyanate designed to facilitate lysis of liquid sample and inhibit RNase. The high lysis efficiency of the reagent and the subsequent removal of contaminants by organic phase extraction enable the use of up to 0.25ml liquid sample per mini spin column.

Main Functions
Isolation total RNA from 0.25ml body fluids using column and MagZol LS reagent
Applications
qPCR / RT-PCR, liquid or solid-phasechip analysis, hybridization and SNP detection
0.25ml liquid samples are homogenized in 0.75ml MagZol LS Reagent. After addition of chloroform, the homogenate is separated into aqueous and organic phases by centrifugation. The upper, aqueous phase is extracted, and ethanol is added to provide appropriate binding conditions. The sample is then applied to the spin column, where the total RNA (up to 100 µg) binds to the membrane and phenol and other contaminants are efficiently washed away. High-quality RNA is then eluted in 30–100µl of RNase-free water.
Advantages
High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes by using column purification method
Safety – no phenol chloroform extraction required
Sensitive – direct lysis of blood, plasma and other samples without separation of leukocytes

Storage and Stability
MagZol LS 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 their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Collagen is a fundamental component of the extracellular matrix, and the predominant protein in animals, constituting around 30% of total protein mass. A glycoprotein, it is well known for its triple helical structure. This is formed from three polypeptide α-chains with Gly-X-Y repeating residues (Gly for Glycine, X for proline, and Y for hydroxyproline).
Types of Collagen
Over 28 types of collagens have been identified, with Type I collagen being the most abundant. It’s prevalent in ligaments, tendons, skin, and bone tissue. Its mature, insoluble form grants it remarkable strength, making it vital for the mobility of organisms. Collagen also has biochemical functions, influencing cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
This version of the kit is designed to detect and measure SOLUBLE forms of collagen. Chose the Sircol Insoluble collagen kit if you need to analyse INSOLUBLE collagen.
Applications of Collagen
Collagen, with its diverse properties, finds utility in various industries. It plays a role in medicine for wound healing and has an expanding role in tissue engineering and cell culture for biomedical purposes. It’s gaining popularity in the cosmetic industry for skin rejuvenation and is used in chemical formulations and the food industry as a functional food supplement and additive.
How does Sircol 2.0 detect collagen?
The Sircol 2.0 dye reagent includes Sirius Red, a linear anionic dye with sulfonic acid side chains. This reagent is specially formulated to bind to the Gly-X-Yn helical structure of soluble collagen under assay conditions.
*The improved formulation of Sircol 2.0 dye enables a greater degree of dye-collagen specificity (compared to our previous S1000 assay kit).
Overview of the Sircol 2.0 assay process:
Step 1. Prepared samples are placed in the wells of the assay microplate, together with Sircol Dye Reagent. After 30 minutes mixing, any collagen-dye complexes will form as a precipitate. These are collected on the base of the microplate wells by centrifugation.
Step 2. Unbound dye is removed by gentle aspiration, followed by a rinse with Plate Wash Reagent.
Step 3. Following further centrifugation, collagen-bound dye is eluted by incubation with a Dye Release Reagent. Eluted dye is detected ‘in-situ’ by spectrophotometric analysis of the microplate at 556nm.
Step 4. The collagen content of unknown samples can be quantified by comparison against a calibration curve, prepared using the Collagen Reference Standard supplied with the kit.
A list of suggested sample types can be found under the ‘Assay Specification‘ tab.
Colorimetric Detection (556nm) (Endpoint), Requires a microplate centrifuge.
Measurements per kit
96 in total (allows a maximum of 41 samples to be run in duplicate alongside a standard curve).
Suitable Samples
Soluble* collagens from mammalian**:
In-vivo: Tissues, cartilages and fluids.
In-vitro: Extracellular matrices / Conditioned media from 2D/3D culture environments.
The straightforward sample processing and analysis of Sirco 2.0 make it a good alternative to conventional hydroxyproline analysis.
*Prior salt/acid/acid-pepsin extraction may be necessary to release soluble collagen.
**Sircol 2.0 is primarily designed for use with in-vivo / in-vitro samples of mammalian origin. Collagens originating from other taxonomic groups and kingdoms can also be analysed. See note on p6 of manual for further information.
Precautions
This kit is designed for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Kit requires access to a microplate centrifuge* (see note below), as well as a spectrophotometer/colorimeter capable of absorbance detection at 556nm. Specific sample preparation protocols may require customer to provide further reagents, consult assay manual for further information.
*As a minimum, we recommend that the centrifuge can centrifuge a 96-well microplate at 400 x g for 120 minutes. Higher speed centrifuges are recommended (up to a maximum of 2000 x g), allowing a reduction in centrifuge time.
