Opentrons Flex is a liquid-handling robot designed for high throughput and complex workflows. The Flex robot is the base of a modular system that includes pipettes, a labware gripper, on-deck modules, and labware — all of which you can swap out yourself. Flex is designed with a touchscreen so you can work with it directly at the lab bench, or you can control it from across your lab with the Opentrons App or our open-source APIs.

RNA/DNA Purification KitsOverview

Product Info
Overview
Sequentially isolate and purify total RNA and DNA from a single sample
Two column system: one for DNA and one for RNA
The RNA column is for the purification of total RNA including microRNA
No need to split the lysate, or to use phenol or precipitation methods
Rapid and efficient spin column procedure – it takes only 30 minutes
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
These kits provide a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA and DNA sequentially from a single sample of cultured animal cells and tissues, blood, bacteria, yeast, or fungi. The lysate is passed over two columns: 1) a DNA column and 2) an RNA column. Total RNA of all sizes is purified, including microRNA. Both DNA and RNA are of the highest purity and yield.
These kits are ideal for researchers who are interested in studying the genome and transcriptome of a single sample, such as for studies of microRNA profiling, gene expression including gene silencing experiments or mRNA knockdowns, studies involving biomarker discovery, and for characterization of cultured cell lines. Norgen’s RNA/DNA Purification Kits are especially useful for researchers who are isolating macromolecules from precious, difficult to obtain or small samples such as biopsy materials or single foci from cell cultures, as they eliminate the need to fractionate the sample. Furthermore, analysis will be more reliable since the RNA and DNA are derived from the same sample, thereby eliminating inconsistent results. The purified macromolecules are of the highest purity and can be used in a number of different downstream applications
RNA/DNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)
Maximum column binding capacity of 50 μg for RNA and 20 μg for DNA.
RNA/DNA Purification Micro Kit (Micro)
The purified RNA and DNA fractions can be eluted in as little as 20 μL. Ideal for cell number inputs of 500,000 and as little as 5 cells. Maximum column binding capacity of 35 μg for RNA and 10 μg for DNA.

*Average Yield will vary depending upon a number of factors including species, growth conditions used, and development stage.
**Tissue inputs of up to 40 mg may be used, however for inputs greater than the recommended 25 mg, cross-contamination of the RNA and DNA fractions is possible.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability Store Proteinase K at -20°C upon arrival. All other solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 1 year after the date of shipment.
CleanAll DNA/RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Micro Kit
Product Info
Document
Product Info
Overview
Can be used for the clean up of both RNA and DNA from enzymatic reactions, labeling etc.
Purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA down to microRNA (miRNA)
Purifies all sizes of DNA, from small PCR products to plasmids to genomic DNA
Removes endotoxins for transfection of injection ready RNA or DNA
Rapid and efficient spin-column format (20 minutes)
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s CleanAll DNA/RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Micro Kit provides a rapid method for the purification, cleanup and concentration of RNA or DNA from different isolation methods or upstream applications. The kit can be used as an alternative to organic extraction and ethanol precipitation to clean up various enzymatic reactions.
The CleanAll Kit purifies RNA from phenol/guanidine-based protocols or from various upstream enzymatic reactions such as DNase treatment, labeling and in vitro transcription. Furthermore, endotoxins can be removed from previously purified RNA solutions.
The kit can be used to clean up DNA from digestions, ligations, PCR reactions, labeling reactions, DNA modification reactions and staining. The kit also provides a protocol for the rapid removal of endotoxins from previously purified DNA down to 0.1 EU/µg DNA or less.
Purify all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA).
Purify all sizes of DNA, from small PCR products, native or linearized plasmids, to genomic DNA. Using an alternative protocol, even oligonucleotides and smaller DNA fragments can be purified.
≥90% for RNA ≥90% for DNA 100 bp to 10 kbp ≥75% for DNA ≥ 10 kbp
* Applicable to smaller fragments or oligonucleotides with alternative protocol
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years from the date of shipment.
Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by infection of various bacteria. Streptococcus dysgalactiae, a Lancefield group C α-hemolytic gram-positive bacteria, is a common pathogen in subclinical and clinical mastitis causing substantial economic losses in dairy herds. Streptococcus dysgalactiae has been isolated from infected mammary glands and teat injuries and is transmitted primarily during milking. However, detection of S. dysgalactiae in other cow tissues such as tonsils, mouth and vagina, and occurrence of S. dysgalactiae mastitis during the non-lactating period in herds, suggests that the organism also behaves as an environmental pathogen.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
