Detail
OverView
The PCR Decontamination Kit can remove contaminating DNA in PCR master mixes, without reduction of PCR sensitivity.
The double-strand specific property of the dsDNase allows decontamination with primers and probe present.
Efficient for end-point PCR, probe-based qPCR, and some SYBR based qPCR mixes.
Contaminating bacterial DNA can be reduced to levels below the detection limit.
Fast and easy protocol.
Flat NTCs (No Template Controls).
Decontamination of master mixes without reduction of sensitivity has always been a challenge. Especially when minor amounts of DNA are targeted, contaminating DNA is a major problem. Any loss of sensitivity in the qPCR assay caused by the decontamination protocol is unacceptable.
In Figure 1, it is demonstrated that the PCR decontamination kit can remove contaminating DNA from a qPCR mix to non-detectable levels (flat NTC), without affecting the sensitivity of the qPCR.

Purified RNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, including Small RNA Sequencing. Find out more information on Norgen’s NGS services
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s FFPE RNA Purification Kits provide a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples in as little as 1 hour. Using formalin to fix tissues leads to crosslinking of the RNA and proteins, and the process of embedding the tissue samples can also lead to fragmentation of the RNA over time. Norgen’s FFPE RNA Purification Kits provide conditions that allow for the partial reversing of the formalin modifications, resulting in a high quality and yield of RNA. These kits are able to purify all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), depending on the age of the FFPE tissue as fragmentation of the RNA is known to occur over time. The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components without the use of phenol or chloroform.
FFPE RNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)
Maximum loading volume of 650 μL per column, and a maximum binding capacity of 50 μg per column.
Purification is based on 96-well column chromatography using Norgen’s proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Purification can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation. Maximum loading volume of 400 μL per well, and a maximum binding capacity of 50 μg per well.
5 slices of < 20 µm thick paraffin 25 mg of unsectioned block

Not all cyanobacterial strains produce toxins. However, the toxin-producing strains cannot be distinguished from the nontoxin-producing strains by traditional light microscopy, commonlyused to monitor water bodies. An alternative for the differentiation of potentially toxic strains from nontoxic strains is to use molecular methods to detect the presence of toxin biosynthetic genes. Such methods are already available and could be used for the detection and identification of potential microcystin and nodularin producers present in environmental samples (Attogene catalog number NA2024).
Screening for the toxin itself, can be very costly. In turn, real time PCR for the detection of a gene region responsible for assembling in cyanobacterial strains and environmental samples can be a key indicator for the prescense of cyanobacteria capable of expressing the aetokthonotoxin toxin. Attogen has thus, designed primer pairs and probes targeting a the conserved gene region in order to enable the amplification and detection of several producer genera using real time PCR. Screening for the toxin genes can save significant costs and act as a triage for samples needing to be analyzed for the toxin itself.
Cyanobacterial neurotoxin aetokthonotoxin (AETX), a peculiar pentabrominated biindole alkaloid implicated in fatal Vacuolar Myelinopathy. This neurodegenerative disease was first recorded in 1994 during an outbreak of bald-eagle poisonings at De Gray Lake in Arkansas, USA. AETX was experimentally confirmed to be produced by the true branching heterocytous cyanobacterium Aetokthonos hydrillicola. The production of AETX is dependent on bromide (Br−) availability, and likely linked to its hyper-accumulation by the host plan. Thus regular monitoring of A. hydrillicola (accompanied by assessment of Br− and AETX levels) is highly advisable to predict the possible threat of further VM outbreaks.
The cyanobacterial AetA gene which encodes the unique FAD-dependent halogenase involved in the pathway for AETX synthesis has been adapted to develop a -aetokthonotoxin specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay.
