Detail
Overview
Non-woven gas permeable seal that limits evaporation. The seal is peelable, pierceable; suitable for cell culture and seed & insect storage too.
Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
Our Gas PermASeal Heat Seal is made from a non-woven material and is designed for use in cell culture, due to its porous nature
The seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene
It can be removed by peeling, or it can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, using a liquid handling robot.
Gas PermASeal Heat Seal can be utilized for effective overnight incubations, during which it demonstrates significant reductions in evaporation compared to lids
It can also be used for insect and seed storage as it enables gas exchange, whilst providing an inert surface with no adhesive to interfere with the well contents
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

Overview
Detection kits for RSV-A
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Norgen’s Respiratory Syncytial Virus A (RSV-A) TaqMan RT-PCR Detection Kit is designed for the detection of RSV-A specific RNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan technology. This kit is designed for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. The detection of RSV-A specific RNA is based on TaqMan one-step RT-PCR providing a simple, reliable and rapid result for the detection of RSV-A infection. Norgen’s TaqMan RT-PCR Kit includes a PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition, and to validate the quality of the sample and the detection result. The RSV-A TaqMan RT-PCR Kit comprises Master Mix for the target and PCR control detection, Primer & Probe Mix, as well as a positive control and a negative control (nuclease-free water) to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents.

Can be used together with Norgen’s RT-PCR Master Mix (#28113) or customer supplied master mix
For research use only and NOT intended for in vitro diagnostics.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
EXTRAClean RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Micro-Elute Kit

Product Info
Overview
Ensure optimal results for sensitive applications like NGS
Up to a tenfold increase in microRNA mapping during sequencing runs to reduce costs
Concentration of small amounts of RNA into 8 μL
Ideal for concentrating RNA purified from exosomes, plasma, serum, urine, and other bodily fluids and any RNA samples initially purified in large volumes
Efficient RNA cleanup from enzymatic reactions – labeling, DNase treatment and in vitro transcription
Cleanup of RNA isolated using different methods, including phenol/chloroform extractions
Fast and easy processing using rapid spin-column format
Suitable for all sizes of RNA, from large rRNA down to microRNA (miRNA)
No phenol or chloroform extractions
Purification is based on EXTRAClean spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary separation matrix.
Norgen’s EXTRAClean RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Micro-Elution Kit provides a rapid method for the purification, cleanup and concentration of up to 10 μg of RNA isolated using different methods including phenol/guanidine-based protocols, and from various upstream enzymatic reactions such as DNase treatment, labeling and in vitro transcription. The minimum recommended elution volume is 8 μL, which enables the concentration of small amounts of all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other reaction components such as proteins, RNases and nucleotides, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including end-point or quantitative reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, expression array assays and next generation sequencing.

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) TaqMan RT-PCR Detection Kits

Overview
Detection kits for HCV
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Hepatitis C virus infection is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. Neither a vaccine nor an effective treatment is available for HCV. Pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN- α), combined with ribavirin, is the current standard therapy. Its efficiency ranges between 20-80%, depending on the HCV genotype. Unfortunately, many HCV infected patients do not respond to or do not tolerate the IFN-based therapy. Therefore, the number of patients progressing to HCC, as a result of HCV infection, is expected to increase over the next 20-30 years. The natural history of the disease reveals the elusive nature of the virus in a number of features. First, the infection is often detected incidentally at the time of blood donation as the acute infection is clinically asymptomatic in most patients. Second, HCV successfully escapes multi-specific host immune responses in the majority of patients which establishes persistent infection. Third, a significant number of persistently infected individuals remain unaware of the infection for decades, until liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma develop.
