Microcystin ELISA Kit

Overview

• Extract high quality & quantity total RNA including miRNA
• No phenol step required; isolate all RNA in one fraction
• Bind & elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
• Very sensitive & linear down to a few cells without the need for carrier RNA
• Isolate from a wide variety of specimens
• Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
• Available in a variety of formats to suit your needs
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix

These kits are suitable for the isolation of total RNA from a range of samples including cells, bacteria, yeast, virus and bodily fluids including plasma/serum, blood, saliva, CSF and more. Extract high quality and purity RNA with excellent RIN values and A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ suitable for downstream applications including qRT-PCR, RT-PCR, microarrays, NGS and more. These kits purify all sizes of RNA from large mRNA, lncRNA down to microRNA (miRNA) in the same fraction without the requirement of phenol. Isolate all RNA sequences at an equal rate irrespective of size. Moreover, when the RNA sequences are small (e.g. miRNA), the column binds small RNAs regardless of their GC content.

Total RNA Purification 96-Well Kit (High Throughput and High Throughput Deep Well)

This 96-well kit provides a rapid method for the high-throughput isolation and purification of total RNA in 30 minutes using vacuum manifold, plate centrifuge, or liquid handlers with vacuum capabilities. Total RNA can be isolated from a broad range of sample sources including cultured cells, tissues, blood, serum, plasma, bacteria, yeast, fungi, and viruses.

Description

Attogene’s Microcystin Test Kit (Rapid – Recreational Water) can be used to detect microcystins in liquid samples; highly sensitive, rapid, robust screening kit for algae toxins microcystins and nodularins.

The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.

A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on different numeric thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in recreational waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions—such as posting information about harmful algal blooms (HABs), issuing a recreational public health advisory, or temporarily closing recreational waters through a no contact advisory—depending on the severity of the bloom event.

Microcystin-LR

Informational sign postings about HABs at recreational waters: < 6 μg/L
Recreational public health advisory: 6 μg/L
Elevated recreational public health advisory (e.g. no contact): 20 μg/L
