PC Biotin-PEG3-alkyne

Overview

• DNA can be isolated and detected from as little as 100 µL of sputum
• Effective removal of PCR inhibitors
• Compatible with Norgen’s Saliva Collection and Preservation Device (Cat. RU49000)
• Sputum Liquification Buffer (Cat. 28289) can be purchased separately

This kit constitutes an all-in-one system for the rapid isolation of DNA from sputum samples. It allows for the isolation of bacterial or eukaryotic DNA from the sputum samples using spin-column chromatography based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. The kit includes all the reagents needed to process sputum DNA. The protocol can be completed in 30 minutes. Purified DNA is of the highest quality and free from inhibitors, and can be used in sensitive downstream applications including PCR and qPCR.

Background

A sputum specimen is the name given to the mucus which is expectorated from the lower airways. High quality sputum samples should contain very little saliva, as this may contaminate the sputum sample with oral bacteria. Sputum samples are typically evaluated to look for infections such as Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptococcus pneumoniae ;and Haemophilus influenza. Other pathogens can be detected in sputum as well, including HIV. In addition, sputum samples are useful in the detection of lung cancer or to evaluate chronic inflammation.

The Opentrons Heater-Shaker Module, compatible with both the OT-2 and Flex robots, provides on-deck heating and orbital shaking of microplates. The module can be heated to 95C, and can shake samples from 200 to 3000 rpm. It is compatible with a number of deep-well and 96-well plates. The Heater-Shaker can be used simultaneously with other Opentrons modules.

The Heater-Shaker GEN1 is compatible with the new Opentrons Flex Robot when paired with the Flex Heater-Shaker Caddy and Calibration Adapter. The caddy sits below the deck to enable below-deck cable routing and labware placed on modules remain closer to the deck surface. The calibration adapter is used to calibrate the location of the module. If you choose to include the Opentrons Flex Caddy and Calibration Adapter, your order will ship in 20 business days.
