Description 

The ExcelTaq™ 2X Fast Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and templates. The master mix contains a highly stable hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. Consequently, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Fast Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) features high stability during storage, even at 37°C for weeks. In addition to high sensitivity and signal intensity, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Fast Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) performs a low background/ high specificity qPCR results, as well as a better compatibility with fast PCR program. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Fast Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Fast Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) also includes ROX reference dye for normalizing the fluorescent reporter signal in real-time quantitative PCR. This master mix allows sensitive, precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules.

Introduction

This product supplies a simple and rapid extraction of total RNA from tissue and culture cells samples. The kit is based on superparamagnetic particles purification technology, no phenol-chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction processis only 60 minutes. Purified RNA is ready for downstream applications such as RT-PCR, virus RNA testing and so on. MagPure LQ Kit buffers can be used for both manual extraction process and automatic nucleic acid extraction machines.

Principle

The Kit combines the speed and efficiency of silica-based technology with the convenient handling of magnetic particles for purification of total RNA. Samples are lysed and RNA is purified from lysates in one step through its binding to the silica surface of the particles in the presence of a chaotropic salt. The particles are separated from the lysates using a magnet and DNA is removed by treatment with RNase-free DNase. The magnetic particles are efficiently washed, and RNA is eluted in RNase-free water.

Advantages

• High purity – OD 260 / 280 :1.9-2.0, OD 260 / 230 :1.5-2.0
• Economy – less than 50% of the price of Qiagen and other imported products
• Automatic – extraction without manual participation, saving time and effort
• Universal – suitable for various animal tissues, cultured cells and conventional plant fungal tissues

Storage and Stability

MagPure RNA Particles and Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. DNase I shouldbe stored at -20°C. However, short-term storage (DNase I up to 1 weeks, MagPure RNA Particles and Proteinase K up to 8 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for atleast 18 months under these conditions.

Overview

• No need to immediately process samples
• Includes pre-loaded beads for effective sample homogenization by bead beating (tubes are fully compatible with commercially available bead beating systems)
• DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
• Ship fecal samples at room temperature safely
• Compatible with most DNA isolation methods 

Norgen’s Fecal DNA Collection & Preservation Mini Tubes are designed for the rapid preservation of DNA from fresh fecal specimens. These tubes contain Norgen’s Fecal DNA Preservative in a liquid format. Moreover, each collection tube is preloaded with beads for effective sample homogenization in any commercially available bead beater equipment (e.g. MP Biomedicals’ FastPrep®-24). The user simply collects fecal samples into the tubes and mixes by shaking or vortexing until the feces is mixed well with preservative. The preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the preservative allow the DNA in the samples to be preserved at room temperature for over 2 years. 

This kit is highly suited to collection and preservation of fecal material from mouse, hamster, chinchilla, rabbit and more for microbiome studies and other applications.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Fecal samples collected and preserved in Norgen’s Fecal DNA Collection and Preservation Mini Tubes are compatible with most fecal DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with all of Norgen Biotek’s stool-based DNA isolation kits (please refer to Related Products table) and reagents.
