Introduction

The Kit integrates phenol/guanidine-based lysis and silica membrane purification of total RNA. MagZol Reagent, included in the kits, is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine thiocyanate, designed to facilitate lysis of samples and inhibit RNases. The high lysis efficiency of the reagent and the subsequent removal of contaminants by organic phase extraction enable extracting up to 200μg total purified RNA from less than 100mg animal, plant, fungal samples,bacteria, cells and other samples.

Principle

Tissue samples (10-100mg) are homogenized in MagZol Reagent. After addition of chloroform, the homogenate is separated into aqueous and organic phases by centrifugation. The upper, aqueous phase is extracted, and ethanol is added to provide appropriate binding conditions. The sample is then applied to the spin column, where the total RNA (up to 100µg) binds to the membrane and phenol and other contaminants are efficiently washed away. High-quality RNA is then eluted in 30-100µl of RNase-free water.

Advantages

• Efficient DNA removal – one step RNA extraction can effectively remove genomic DNA
• High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 30 minutes
• High applicability – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc.
• High output – enable to process large samples and the yield can be up to 200μg

Storage and Stability

MagZol Reagent should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Description 

Q-PAGE™ TGN (Tris-Glycine Novel) Precast Gels are ready-to-use acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE running in Tris-Glycine buffer system. With unique formula, Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels perform enhanced speed, better separation, and longer shelf life as compared with conventional Laemmli Tris-HCl gels. The protein migration patterns in Q-PAGE™ TGN series, however, are similar with typical Laemmli Tris-HCl gels, and thus Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are compatible to traditional SDS-PAGE and subsequent analyses. 

Q-PAGE™ TGN Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 15%) and fixed (10%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12- and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP4XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP5XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems. 

Key Features

• User-friendly gel cassette:
  • Numbered and framed wells for sample loading
  • Labeled warning sign and green tape as reminder
• Enhanced gel performance: 
  • Enhanced gel electrophoresis speed 
  • Better band separation 
  • Stable for shipping at ambient temperature
• Easy compatibility: 
  • Available as homogeneous and adjusted gradient gels for a wide range of protein separation.
  • Compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems 

Storage and stability

Store Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels at 4°C for periods up to 12 months.

Do not freeze Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels. Remove tape and comb before electrophoresis. 

Keep Q-PAGE™ Precast Gels flat during storage.
