iST-601 Exo-Frame, PCR 96 Well Plate, Skirted

Overview

• Purify all sizes of RNA (including microRNA) without the need for phenol
• Isolate and detect total RNA from 1 mL and up to 50 mL urine
• Provides high-quality RNA for sensitive applications – isolate RNA from as little as 100 cells
• Rapid processing time from sampling to downstream testing
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract. The kit purifies 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 cellular components such as proteins, as well as from the contaminating species found in urine such as glucose and salts, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, Northern blotting, NGS, and expression array assays. Multiple samples can be processed in 20 minutes.

Background

RNA biomarkers from exfoliated cells can be used as non-invasive tools for a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers.

t-Boc-N-amido-PEG4-Amide-Tri-(propargyl-PEG10-ethoxymethyl)-methane is a branched crosslinker molecule with three terminal propargyl groups and a t-Boc protected amide group. The propargyl groups can react with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The protected amine can be deprotected under acidic conditions. Reagent grade, for research use only.

Description

Organophosphate compounds (OP) account for the largest class of rural and urban poisons in the world that are used to kill pests but can also be toxic to humans.  OPs cause toxicity by means of blocking the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AchE).  The AChE-directed OPs react with a serine residue that is located at the catalytic site found within the AChE gorge. The OP targeted enzyme is no longer able to hydrolyze ACh, resulting in the buildup of ACh in the nerve synapse. This effect causes excessive excitation of the nerves, producing uncoordinated movements, tremors, paralysis and death.  Both synthetic and natural(Guanitoxin) organophosphates are dangerous to humans — exposure can lead to visual, coordination, muscular, and neurological deficiencies, and in some cases even to death.  In turn, exposure to OP is a significant public health concern which would significantly benefit from an improved detection platform.

Attogene’s Organophosphate detection kit is in designed specifically to detect Organophosphate in liquid samples.  For solid samples a simple sample preparation method is performed.  The ability to detect Organophosphate is performed is simple and sensitive.  The reaction uses a chromophore that can be detected by eye. In the presence of Organophosphate, the rate of chromophore production is reduced in a concentration dependent fashion.  The higher the concentration of Organophosphate the less color is produced.
