Norgen’s Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices are designed for simple and non-invasive saliva collection and preservation of RNA in saliva samples at ambient temperature. Each of the 50 Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components:
Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube
Collection Tube Cap
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Preservative contained within a sealed squeezable ampoule
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 and the contents of the Preservative Ampoule are then added and mixed with the collected saliva. The Saliva Collection Tube is subsequently sent to the laboratory for RNA isolation and analysis. RNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kits (Cat# 69100, 69300). Each of Norgen’s Collection Tubes is labeled with a unique serial number that can be used for secure and anonymous tracking of the sample. The Saliva RNA in preserved samples is stable for up to 2 months at room temperature. This kit is ideal for collecting and preserving RNA samples for epidemiological and population studies.
Saliva RNA Preservative
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Preservative is an aqueous storage buffer designed for rapid cellular lysis and subsequent preservation of RNA from fresh specimens. The buffer eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperature. The components of the buffer allow samples to be stored for up to 2 months at room temperature.
When stored at room temperature, unused Norgen Saliva Preservative Tubes are stable through to the collect-before date without any reduction in performance. Please see the device insert or tube label for collect-before date.
Once collected, saliva RNA is stable for up to 2 months when kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature.
The Collection Tube, the Collection Funnel and the Device Container of each individual Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Device are recyclable.

Overview
Detection kits for the HPV (High and Low Risk)
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
More than 70 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) have been identified, and are generally classified as high-risk or low-risk depending on their relationship or lack of relationship with cancer and high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3). HPV viruses are predominantly sexually transmitted and high-risk HPV types are a major risk factor for development of cervical cancer. Low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 have been associated with the presence of genital warts. There are many other low-risk HPV types that are not associated with genital warts or cervical cancer. Until now, HPV cannot be cultured in vitro, and immunological tests are inadequate to determine the presence of HPV cervical infection. On the other hand, biopsies can be analyzed by nucleic acid hybridization to directly detect the presence of HPV DNA. HPV 16 and HPV 18 have been considered as high-risk cancer associated HPV types. HPV types 31, 33, and 35 have been shown to have an intermediate relationship with cancer. Norgen’s Human Papillomavirus (HPV) (High and Low Risk) TaqMan PCR Detection Kits are suitable for the detection of HPV 33 and HPV 58.
HPV (High and Low Risk) TaqMan PCR Kit, 100 reactions
Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality
Specific Primer and Probe mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest
Primer and Probe mix
Positive and negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents
HPV (High and Low Risk) TaqMan PCR Probe/Primer Set and Controls, 100 reactions
Specific Primer/Probe mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest
Nuclease-free water
Can be used together with Norgen’s PCR Master Mix (#28007) or customer supplied master mix
For research use only and NOT intended for in vitro diagnostics.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
This product uses an improved salt precipitation purification method to provide a safe and economical solution for High Weight genomic DNA extraction from blood samples, tissue samples, cultured cells, oral swabs, bacteria, and other samples. The extraction does not require the use of toxic phenol chloroform or any expensive reagents, making it the most economical reagent kit for nucleic acid extraction at present. This kit has no limit onthe amount of sample used and can flexibly adjust various amounts of samples. The obtained DNA can be directly used for experiments such as PCR, enzyme digestion, Southern hybridization, and the Third-generation sequencing.
Details
Principles
SolPure DNA Kits is an improved salt precipitation purification method. (Blood samples are lysed in red blood cell lysis buffer to remove red blood cells, and white blood cells are collected by centrifugation.) After lysis, DNA is released into the lysis buffer. RNA is removed by RNASE A. High salt solution is added to precipitate proteins and impurities. Centrifuge to remove precipitate and obtain supernatant containing only DNA. Add isopropanol to precipitate and recover DNA. Wash with 70% ethanol to remove salt, and finally add Buffer TE to dissolve DNA.

Storage and Stability
RNase A and Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 4 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
