HCM168 Lysine Iron Agar

Overview

• Isolate genomic DNA from all types of bacteria (both Gram-positive and Gram-negative)
• Rapid and convenient spin column protocol
• Purified bacterial gDNA has a minimal host gDNA contamination.
• High yield, high quality DNA for sensitive downstream applications including sequencing, PCR, qPCR and more

Synovial fluid is secreted into the joint cavity from the inner membrane of synovial joints. Synovial fluid is a plasma ultrafiltrate which contains proteins derived from both the blood plasma and produced by cells within the joint tissues. It lubricates the articulating joints as well as supplies oxygen and nutrients while removing carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from the chondrocytes in the surrounding cartilage. Septic arthritis is usually caused by bacterial, viral or fungal infections to the synovial fluid. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common bacterial infection causing Septic arthritis. Diagnosing Septic arthritis is done through joint fluid (synovial fluid) analysis, blood tests or imaging tests.  

Norgen’s Synovial Fluid Bacterial Genomic DNA Isolation Kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for isolating the highest quality and the highest quantity of bacterial genomic DNA from various amounts of synovial fluid ranging from 1 mL up to 10 mL.  Purification is based on using Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix. The kit is designed to isolate all Gram +ve and Gram -ve strains. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute the purified bacterial genomic DNA into a flexible elution volume ranging from 25 µL to 50 µL. The purified bacterial gDNA is eluted in an Elution Buffer that is compatible with all downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR, Southern Blot analysis and NGS.

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V1-V2 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V1-V2 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.

Prostatic Specific Acid Phosphatase (PSAP) is a prostatic enzyme found in the glandular epithelium of the prostate. PSAP levels are elevated in hyperplastic prostate and prostate carcinoma, with the highest levels being detected in metastasized prostate cancer. Moderate overexpression of PSAP is also characteristic of diseases of the bone (such as Paget’s disease or hyperparathyroidism), diseases of blood cells (such as sickle-cell disease), multiple myeloma, or lysosomal storage diseases (such as Gaucher’s disease). PSAP is considered more sensitive, yet less specific, than PSA, however Anti-PSAP can act as a useful complement to Anti-PSA under suitable clinical contexts.
