Detail
The NGS Library Circularization Kit (MGI Platform) was developed for preparation of single-stranded circular DNA libraries for next generation sequencing (MGI platform).
The kit uses linear dsDNA libraries (MGI platform) as input and enriches the circularized single-stranded DNA libraries. The circularization kit has a higher library circularization efficiency (25%) as compared to other vendors (7-15%).

Norovirus is a single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Caliciviridae family. Norovirus is considered the major causative agent of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. The main channel of transmittance is via contaminated food or water, as well as human-to-human contact. Most Noroviruses infecting humans belong to genogroup I and II (particularly genotype 4). Norovirus is very stable in the environment and is resistant to some surface disinfectants such as alcohols and detergents. Moreover, it is very difficult to culture Norovirus in vitro, making its identification by standard microbiological assays challenging.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit is a microplate-based colorimetric assay for the determination of urea in serum samples produced from blood. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is an important marker for normal kidney and liver function. Elevation of BUN levels is often an indication of intestinal and kidney obstruction and cardiac failure. Decreased BUN levels are often associated with kidney and liver damage. BUN is also a very useful tool for preclinical investigation of experimental drug formulations and BUN levels are commonly used to monitor and attenuate the toxic effects of experimental drug formulations in rodents.
Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit uses an enzyme-based assay to determine urea in liquid samples such as serum. The test is based on a highly proven method for urea determination. The Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit contains sufficient materials to test 42 samples in duplicate. The assay utilizes urease, a metabolic enzyme, to specifically detect urea in serum. The Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit provides rapid, accurate, proven results even in complex liquid mixtures. The limit of detection for the test is 8 ppm urea for serum. The linear range of the assay is 8 – 200 ppm analyte.

Blood samples contain rich DNA, including mitochondrial DNA, genomic DNA, circulating DNA (mostly released into blood after tumor cell apoptosis) in white blood cells, as well as parasitic viral or microbial DNA. These DNA are important parameters in clinical testing or diagnosis, which are also valuable materials for medical research. There are three main issues with extracting DNA from blood samples:
1. The sample is highly infectious, posing great harm to operators and the environment.
2. The source of DNA is complex and aportion of the nucleic acid, such as viral DNA or free DNA, may be lost during the operation, leading to downstream detection failure;
3. Blood sample contains a large amount of impurities and inhibitory factors.
Currently there are many methods available for extracting DNA from whole blood samples, such as phenol chloroform extraction, salting out method, etc. However, these methods require pre-treatment of blood sample, which removes red blood cells and isolate white blood cells in the first step. Due to the requirement that it cannot inactivate or kill pathogens during the process of removing red blood cells, the waste liquid (red blood cell lysate) and consumables may be contaminated by pathogens and become infectious, posing a danger to the entire laboratory environment and operators. In addition, during the process of removing red blood cells, useful nucleic acid information such as viruses, microorganisms, or circulating DNA is also lost, leading to experiment or detection failures.
The HiPure Blood DNA Kits series provided by Magen Company uses silica gel column purification technology, which can directly lyse whole blood samples without the need for white blood cell separation. Whole blood samples are directly mixed with lysates and proteases, resulting in the inactivation of pathogens, greatly reducing the infectivity, environmental pollution, and the chance of operators being infected. Due to the direct lysis and digestion of samples, except lymphocyte DNA, other circulating DNA as well as DNA from viruses and microorganisms, can also be recovered.
This product provides fast and easy methods for purification of total DNA for reliable PCR and Southern Blotting. Total DNA (e.g., genomic, viral, mitochondrial) can be purified from tissue and culture cells.

Principles
This product is based on silica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).
Advantages
High quality DNA – meet a variety of downstream applications, including PCR, qPCR, enzyme digestion, hybridization, etc.
Fast – without separation of leukocytes, organic extraction or ethanol precipitation
Simple – all nucleic acids can be obtained by direct digestion
Wide applicability – handle a variety of liquid samples

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K, RNase A should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 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 at least 18 months under these conditions.
