Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Overview

• Reliable and cost-effective
• Non-invasive, user-friendly, convenient sample collection & preservation in a single tube system
• Preserved exosomes are stable for 2 years at ambient temperature
• Shipping accessories can be purchased separately
• Compatible with Norgen’s Saliva Exosome Purification Kit (Cat. 65300)
• RNA can be isolated from the purified exosomes using Norgen’s Exosome RNA Purification kit (Cat. 58000)

Norgen’s Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Kit is an all-in-one solution designed for 1) simple and non-invasive saliva collection; 2) preservation of exosomes in saliva samples at ambient temperature; and 3) isolation of high quality intact exosomes and exosomal RNA within a laboratory setting. The Saliva Exosome Collection, Preservation and Isolation Kit contains 50 Individual Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Devices. Each of the 50 individual Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components:

• Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube that contains Norgen’s Preservative in a dried format
• Collection Tube Cap
• ID Label

Saliva samples are collected by spitting inside the Collection Funnel which has been assembled with the Collection Tube. After collecting the required volume of saliva the Collection Funnel is removed, the Collection Tube is securely capped with Collection Tube Cap. The collected saliva is mixed by gentle inversion for several times till the saliva colour changes into yellow. The Saliva Collection Tube is subsequently sent to the laboratory for the purification of intact exosomes and for the subsequent isolation and analysis of saliva exosomal RNA. The saliva exosomes in preserved samples are stable for 2 years at room temperature.

Overview

• Excellent separation and purification of cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA
• Convenient and fast spin column format
• High quality and yield of RNA
• Isolate full diversity of RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
• Purified RNA is ready for any application including RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, RNA-Seq, arrays and more
• Cytoplasmic RNA is free of DNA and ready for direct use in RT-PCR/qRT-PCR
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of both cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA from cultured animal cells and small tissue samples. The kit can be used to isolate all sizes of RNA from the cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA fractions, including all small RNA species without any requirement for phenol.   Included in the kit are sufficient reagents to perform either 50 cytoplasmic RNA preparations or 25 cytoplasmic and 25 nuclear RNA preparations.   Ten samples can be processed in approximately 45 minutes.  This kit is also available in a 100 prep size.    

Background

In certain circumstances it is desirable to be able to isolate fractionated RNA as opposed to total RNA. For example, it may be preferable to isolate only mature, cytoplasmic RNA for some studies on expression profiling. Alternatively it may be desirable to isolate nuclear RNA in order to investigate and study pre-processed (non-spliced) RNA. Furthermore, this kit can be used to isolate RNA for downstream applications where it is necessary to avoid DNA contamination, since the cytoplasmic fraction has been shown to be free of all traces of genomic DNA.
