OT-2 20µL Tips

Overview

• Extract high quality & quantity total RNA including miRNA 
• No phenol step required; isolate all RNA in one fraction
• Genomic DNA Removal Column for efficient elimination of gDNA
• Bind & elute all RNA irrespective of size or GC content, without bias
• Efficiently extract small RNA irrespective of GC content
• Very sensitive & linear down to a few cells without the need for carrier RNA
• Convenient & fast spin column format
• Isolate from a wide variety of specimens
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

This kit purifies total RNA including miRNA from biological samples and employs an extra column for the efficient removal of contaminating gDNA, thereby replacing the enzymantic DNase step. 

Efficiently extract total RNA from a range of samples including cells, bacteria, yeast, virus and bodily fluids including plasma/serum, blood, saliva, CSF and more.  Extract high quality and purity RNA with excellent RIN values and A260/A280 suitable for downstream applications including qRT-PCR, RT-PCR, microarrays, NGS and more.

The kit purifies all sizes of RNA from large mRNA, lncRNA down to microRNA (miRNA) in the same fraction without the requirement of phenol.  Isolate all RNA sequences at an equal rate irrespective of size. Moreover, when the RNA sequences are small (e.g. miRNA), the column binds small RNAs regardless of their GC content.

Description

Saxitoxins (STXs) are naturally occurring alkaloids produced by some marine dinoflagellates and by strains of various species of freshwater cyanobacteria.  Saxitoxin is one of the prevalent paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). It belongs to a family of potent neurotoxins with a molecular weight around 300 Da. Saxitoxin and its derivatives are alkaloids composed of a tetrahydropurine ring system with a highly polar guanidinium group. Due to their significant toxicity, saxitoxins are closely monitored in marine environments where they can accumulate during harmful algal blooms (HABs).  In 2009 an action level of 0.6ppb (600ppt) was recommended by EFSA as a guidance framework have been established to manage saxitoxin levels in water.

Description 

The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and template. The master mix features high sensitivity and high signal intensity when compared with Brand A. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. This master mix allows for sensitive and precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. The master mix includes ROX reference dye for normalization of each qPCR assay. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process. 

Features

• High sensitivity and signal intensity
• With ROX reference dye
• Smart blue contrast dye as a visual aid for reaction setup 
• Better compatibility for reverse transcription

Storage 

Protected from light.
Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
-20°C for 12 months
