Description

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.

The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit.

Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Overview

• Purification and enrichment of intact plasma/serum exosomes for functional studies
• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
• Versatile plasma/serum input volume
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes required
• No precipitation reagents, nor overnight incubation required
• Compatible with plasma/serum from most species
• Pure exosomes are purified and are free from any other RNA-binding proteins
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin
• The purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services

Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions 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.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
