Overview

• CE-IVDR marked in accordance with the European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2017/746.
• Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
• Simultaneous isolation of both host DNA and microbial DNA  (universal protocol)
• Eliminates PCR inhibitors including humic acids
• Fully compatible with Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Transport Tubes
• High quality DNA for sensitive downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, sequencing and microarray​

This kit provides a convenient and rapid method to isolate total DNA from fresh, frozen and preserved stool samples, including those preserved using Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Devices Dx (Cat. Dx45660). The universal protocol conveniently allows for the isolation of total genomic DNA from all the various microorganisms and host cells found in the stool sample simultaneously. The kit removes all traces of humic acids and other inhibitors using Bead Tubes and a combination of chemical and physical homogenization and lysis, without the need of any phenol-chloroform extractions. A simple and rapid spin column procedure is then used to further purify the DNA with high yields and molecular weights of up to 50 kb plus.  The purified DNA is of the highest quality and is fully compatible with all downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, NGS and microarrays since all humic acid substances and other PCR inhibitors are removed during the isolation process.

NOTE: This product is not available for sale in the United States.

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.

Water-soluble, substrate for sortase mediated labeling of proteins. Sortase catalyzes a transpeptidase reaction between a specific internal sequence of a protein and an amine group present on the N-terminus of triglycine recently has become an area of great interest. This method of labeling proteins has been denoted as “Sortagging”. Proteins conjugated to DBCO-Gly-Gly-Gly can be further modified with azide-containing molecules creating site-specific protein conjugates. Examples of creating protein conjugates using sortagging include site-specifically PEGylating proteins,1 site-specific protein-lipid conjugates,2 and constructing peptides and glycosylphosphatidylinositol chimeras.3 Sortase has also been used in peptide synthesis to cyclize peptides to create macrocyclic peptides, glycopeptides4 and protein−protein conjugates.

Introduction

Hipure Stool RNA Kit is specially designed for stool RNA extraction. This kit is suitable for extracting high-purity microbial or host cell RNA from ≤0.1g stool samples. The kit adopts silica gel column purification technology and original solution system, which can effectively remove humic acid and other inhibitory factors in stool samples. The purified RNA can be directly used in RT-PCR, Northern hybridization and other experiments.

Principle

The HiPure silica gel column uses a high binding ability glass fiber filter membrane as the substrate. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as Guanidinium chloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic and other physical factors, while protein or other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane that has adsorbed nucleic acids is washed to remove proteins and salts. Finally, low salt buffer solution (such as Buffer TE) or water can be used to wash out the nucleic acids adsorbed on the filter membrane. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

The stool samples are homogenized in the lysis solution, further lysed in a high-temperature water bath, and RNA is released into the lysis solution. Chloroform extraction removes genomic DNA and impurities, transfer the supernatant to an alcohol free binding solution, purify RNA through a column, and finally elute RNA with RNase Free Water. The purified RNA can be directly used for experiments such as PCR, Southern hybridization, and enzyme digestion.

Advantages

• High purity – unique adsorbent for more efficient removal of inhibitors
• High concentration – maximum extraction of total RNA from stool samples
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG
