Overview

• Efficient depletion of bovine exosomes from Fetal Bovine Serum
• Deplete exosome-sized vesicles from versatile FBS volumes
• No protease treatment required
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation
• No precipitation reagents required
• No overnight incubation required
• Exosome depletion confirmed by reduction of bovine miRNAs below detectable levels
• The depleted FBS provides the same cellular growth rates as the standard FBS
• Purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary Silicon Carbide resin matrix

Norgen’s FBS Exosome Depletion Kits provides a quick and easy protocol for the depletion of bovine exosomes from FBS prior to using it as a growth supplement in your culture medium. The FBS recovered from the depletion process is exosome-depleted and does not contain any quantifiable bovine miRNAs. Moreover, the exosome-depleted FBS will support the growth of your cells of interest similar to the non-depleted FBS. Norgen’s kits allow for the processing of different FBS volumes. The depletion is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require ultracentrifugation, any special instrumentation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the depletion process is an inexpensive method for exosome depletion from FBS, as compared to the expensive current ready-to-use exosome-depleted media available on the market.

Background

Most culture medium used for the growth and propagation of cells in culture require the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a growth supplement to media. FBS is obtained from bovine (cow) serum, and therefore contains large quantities of bovine exosome vesicles. These exosomes may interfere with some types of studies, or may lead to unreliable results when studying the exosomes shed from your cells of interest in normal culture conditions. Therefore, the use of exosome-depleted FBS is highly recommended for many types of studies.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.

Introduction

The HiPure FastFilter Plasmid DNA Maxi Kits combine the power of HiPure technology with the time-tested consistency of alkaline-SDS lysis of bacterial cells to deliver high-quality DNA. HiPure DNA columns facilitate the binding, washing and elution steps thus enabling multiple samples to be simultaneously processed. This system also includes a special filter cartridge which replaces the centrifugation step following alkaline lysis. Plasmid DNA purified by this system is suitable for automated fluorescent DNA sequencing, restriction endonuclease digestion, transfection of mammalian cells, and other manipulations. Up to 1000 µg high copy number plasmid DNA or 50-500 µg low copy number plasmid DNA can be purified from 200mL overnight culture.

Principle

The HiPure Plasmid procedure is based on alkaline lysis of bacterial cells followed by adsorption of DNA onto silica in the presence of high salt. The unique silica membrane used in the kit completely replaces glass or silica slurries for plasmid DNA minipreps. The procedure consists of 3 basic steps: Preparation and clearing of a bacterial lysate by alkaline method，then transfer the supernatant to column to bind DNA. After washing proteins and other impurities, nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• High purity – purified plasmid can be directly used in sequencing, enzyme digestion and PCR, etc.
• Fast – it takes only 15-60 minutes to complete the isolation
• Economy – high cost performance

Storage and Stability

The kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. If any precipitates form in the buffers, warm at 37℃ to dissolve. After addition of RNase A，Buffer P1 is stable for 6 months when stored at 2-8°C.
