Introduction

Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular DNA fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp (DNA). HiPure Circulating DNA Mini Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. Samples can be fresh or frozen (provided that they have not been frozen and thawed more than once).

Principle

This product is based on silica gel purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption plate and filter 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 (10 Mm Tris,pH 8.0).

Advantages

• High yield – most optimal process, free DNA (>50bp) can be obtained to the maximum extent
• High concentration – low elution volume, ensuring high nucleic acid concentration
• High purity – low alcohol binding method, completely removing inhibitor and protein pollution
• High recovery – DNA can be recovered at the level of PG by silica gel column purification

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K and carrier RNA 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 remainingkit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers shouldbe redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.

Overview

• Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
• Vigorously quantified using multiple methods

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative coccus of the Neisseria genus. N. gonorrhoeae is usually seen in pairs infecting human cells. It has a circular DNA genome of approximately 1Mbp encoding over 2000 genes. N. gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) gonorrhoea, which globally causes an estimated 60 million new cases of gonococcal disease annually. It is second only to Chlamydia trachomatis as the most reported notifiable sexually transmitted disease. Infections with N. gonorrhoeae are primarily restricted to the mucus membranes of the endocervix, urethra, rectum, and pharynx. In females, gonorrhoea is a major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease and may lead to tubal infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain, whereas in males it primarily causes urethritis. Importantly, these infections may often be asymptomatic, thereby contributing to further transmission and maintenance of the disease within populations.

Norgen’s Neisseria gonorrhoeae Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from pelleted bacteria grown on culture plates using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
