HCM133 Tryptone Soya Yeast Extract Agar

Overview

• Collect from nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, and more
• Completely stabilize microbiota profiles from the point-of-collection
• Minimize bias in data analysis: NGS (Metagenomics/Microbiome), PCR and microarrays
• No need to immediately process samples: ship and store at ambient temperatures
• DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
• Renders sample non-infectious for safe and easy shipping
• Compatible with DNA isolation kits and protocols: Optimized isolation procedure using Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit

Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System is designed for collection, ambient storage and transport of DNA from samples collected using a swab, including nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, etc. The Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System contains Norgen’s Swab Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the specimen using the provided swab, and then transfers the swab into the Swab Preservative. The Swab Preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the Swab Preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the Swab Preservative allow DNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 years.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Swab samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System are compatible with most DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with most of Norgen Biotek’s DNA isolation kits and reagents. An optimized isolation procedure is available as part of Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit (Cat. 64100).

Overview

• Ready-to-use
• Quantitative
• Highly Stable
• Precise
• Eleven discrete fragments ranging from 50 bp to 1000 bp
• Higher intensity reference band at 500 bp

The Norgen PCR Ranger 100 bp DNA Ladder is prepared to ensure quality and batch-to-batch consistency. Our PCR Ranger DNA Ladder contains eleven discrete fragments ranging from 50 bp to 1000 bp with a higher intensity reference band at 500 bp. This Ladder is ideal for assessment of a range of PCR product sizes.

Contents
1mL of premixed DNA ladder (0.5µg/10µL) in loading buffer (10mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.015% bromophenol blue, and 0.17% SDS).

PCR Ranger 100 bp DNA Ladder (Cat# 11300) – 100 loads

Ladder Properties:
• Eleven discrete bands, ranging from 50 bp to 1,000 bp
• Higher intensity band at 500 bp for easy reference

Fragment	Size (bp)	Mass (ng)
1	1000	91
2	900	66
3	800	61
4	700	51
5	600	43
6	500	70
7	400	28
8	300	23
9	200	30
10	100	22
11	50	15

Recommended Use:
Mix thoroughly. For best results, load 10µL of DNA ladder per well. For precise mass determination with a densitometer, stain gel after electrophoresis using 0.5µg/mL ethidium bromide for 30-40 minutes. The table above shows the size and mass for each band based on 10µL ladder per well.

Storage: 
Stable at room temperature. For longer term storage, -20°C is recommended.

This ladder was standardized using 10µL of DNA per lane on a 0.8 cm thick, 13 x 15 cm, 1.0% agarose gel run in TAE buffer.

OverView

Heat-Labile Exonuclease I (HL-ExoI) is a 3’ – 5’ exonuclease, specific for single stranded DNA. The enzyme is recombinantly produced in E. coli. HL-ExoI is active at 25 – 37°C and inactivated by 1 minute incubation at 80°C or 15 minutes at 60°C. 

HL-ExoI is used for degradation of ssDNA such as primers and oligos. It is also ideal for treatment of sensitive samples and useful in the development of novel molecular diagnostics applications.

Key Features

• 3’-5’ exonuclease specific for single stranded DNA
• High activity at 25 – 37°C
• Easily heat-inactivated by 1 min incubation at 80°C, or 15 min at 60°C
• Moderate salt tolerance

Application

Removal of primers post-PCR prior to DNA sequencing or SNP detection
