N-(Propargyl-PEG4-carbonyl)-N-bis(PEG1-acid) is a crosslinker that can react with azide compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry to form a stable triazole linkage. The terminal carboxylic acids can react with primary amino groups in the presence of activators (e.g. HATU) to form a stable amide bond.

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective.
Our Individual Access Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates, featuring 96 individual foil seal spots or 12 strips of individual spots on a removable backing.
These seals result in individually sealed tubes/strips, and they can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.
Individual Access Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid).
The seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter).
Peelable heat sealing foil, 96 individual seals with tabs, or 12 strips each covering 8 wells; suitable for very low-temperature storage/high temperature uses/PCR
Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular nucleic acid fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp(Nucleic Acid). The HiPure Circulating Nucleic acid Micro Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. Samples can be either fresh or frozen (provided that they have not been frozen and thawed more than once). Free-circulating cell-free DNA, RNA or viral nucleic acids are eluted in Nuclease Free Water, ready for use in amplification reactions or storage at -30 to -15°C. Purified nucleic acids are free of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities.

This product is based onsilica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate andprotease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption plate andfilter column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is notadsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and otherimpurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer.

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K, Carrier RNAshould be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. Theremaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) andare stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can bestored 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.
