Microcystin are a class of hepatotoxins produced by blue-green algae such as Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystin-LR is the most common of the over 50 different congeners. Cyanobacteria can produce microcystin in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major threat.
This kit can be used for quantitative test of Microcystin in liquid samples such as water, wastewater, algal cultures, and solid samples such as fish.

EXTRAClean Urine Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits
Product Info
Document
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
Purification and enrichment of intact urinary exosomes for functional studies.
Bind and elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required.
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes are required.
No precipitation reagents nor overnight incubation required.
Compatible with urine from any species.
Pure exosomes are purified and are free-from any other RNA-binding proteins.
Purification is based on EXTRAClean spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix.
Norgen’s EXTRAClean Urine Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Mini Kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 μL to 1 mL. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. 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 kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kit allows the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, NGS application, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
All sizes, including miRNA and small RNA (< 200 nt)
Elution Volume
50-100 μL
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
35-40 minutes
Average Yields
Variable depending on specimen
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
DBCO-PEG8-amine TFA salt is a PEG linker which contains DBCO and amine moieties. The DBCO group is commonly used in copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. The amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases the water solubility of the compound. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
