Attogene’s PCR kit for Microcystin is designed for the In vitro analysis of the MycE gene region responsible for assembling part of the Microcystis peptide. The MycE gene region specific primer and probe mix is provided to be detected through the FAM channel on a qPCR machine. A sample of algae is obtained and washed to extract a clean algal gDNA sample. A reaction mixture is assembled from primers, probe, master mix, and gDNA samples as required. The qPCR machine of choice is set up and loaded as needed and the mixture undergoes PCR amplification. The Primer mix provided exploits the Taq polymerase to amplify the gene region of interest; while the DNA probe mixture is cleaved during amplification to release its FAM fluorophore. The resulting FAM release can be detected on a variety of qPCR platforms.

Overview
Rapid spin column purification of genomic DNA from viable yeast cells, fungal spores or mycelium, and bacteria including Gram-positive
Bead tubes (provided) allow for effective mechanical homogenization
Purified DNA is of high quality and integrity and compatible with any sensitive downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, RFLP and more
These kits provide fast and reliable procedures for the purification of genomic DNA from viable yeast cells, fungal spores or mycelium, and bacteria including Gram-positive. Genomic DNA is efficiently extracted from the cells by a combination of heat treatment, detergents and Bead Tubes (provided). An optional lyticase treatment allows for improved DNA yields with certain fungal and yeast species. Recovered genomic DNA is of excellent yield and purity for any downstream application including PCR, qPCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), sequencing, SNP analysis and more.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These reagents should remain stable for at least 2 years in their unopened containers.
DBCO-PEG9-amine is a PEG linker which contains DBCO and amine moieties. The DBCO group is commonly used in copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. The amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases the water solubility of the compound. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Well-accepted microRNA sequence used for normalization in gene expression studies
Best suited for RNA purification from samples with low RNA abundance including liquid biopsies (plasma/serum/urine etc.) and low cell or tissue inputs
Compatible to expression analysis using RT-qPCR – both RNA and matching forward PCR primer provided.
Fully compatible to Norgen’s microScript cDNA Synthesis system
Fully compatible to Next Generation Sequencing (Small RNA-Seq) library preparation workflow
The amount of RNA that can be extracted from different biological or clinical samples varies greatly. For example, while a few micrograms of RNA could be easily purified from tissues and cells in excess amounts (such as from a few milligrams of tissue), many liquid biopsy samples may yield very low amounts of RNA. In fact, samples such as urine or plasma may yield 1 – 100 ng or less RNA per 100 µL of sample. Such a range of RNA quantity is often below the detection limit of most commonly used techniques for measuring RNA including nano-spectrophotometry and fluorescent nucleic acid stains. As a result, without properly determined RNA concentration, it becomes very difficult to normalize the starting quantity of RNA used in gene expression studies.
Norgen’s microRNA (cel-miR-39) Spike-In Kit offers a quantified synthetic RNA (cel-miR-39) for spike-in during RNA extraction procedures and subsequent normalization in RT-qPCR assays. The amount of cel-miR-39 RNA recovered after RNA extraction is directly correlated with the amount of total RNA recovered. After reverse transcription (such as with Norgen’s microScript Reverse Transcription system) of the sample RNA (with spike-in), the level of cel-miR-39 can be determined by subjecting the cDNA generated to quantitative PCR (qPCR) using fluorescent nucleic acid stains such as SYBR Green. A cel-miR-39 specific primer is included in the kit. The level of expression of any target transcripts in different RNA samples can now be normalized to the cel-miR-39 transcript level using standard method such as ∆∆Ct relative quantification.
In addition, the cel-miR-39 RNA is compatible to library preparation methods (including ligation-based protocols) in Next Generation Sequencing (Small RNA-Seq) workflows. The cel-miR-39 RNA could be used for normalization as well as for tracking library construction efficiency.
Storage Conditions Upon receipt, store Norgen’s microRNA (cel-miR-39) Spike-In Kit at -20°C or lower. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. If needed, prepare smaller working aliquots and store at -20°C or lower.
