[PM5100] ExcelBand™ 3-color Pre-Stained Protein Ladder, High Range (9-245 kDa), 250 μl x 2

Overview

• Fast, reproducible and easy processing of samples
• High yield and high quality genomic DNA with no RNA or protein contamination
• DNA ready for any application including PCR, qPCR, genotyping and more

Norgen’s Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation Kits are designed for the rapid preparation of genomic DNA from cultured cells as well as various tissue samples and urine. The purified genomic DNA is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with PCR and Southern Blot analysis.

Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation Kit (Spin Column)

Purification is based on spin column chromatography as the separation matrix. Norgen’s columns bind DNA under optimized salt concentrations and release the bound DNA under low salt and slightly alkali conditions. The protocol can be completed in approximately 30 minutes for cells and within 90 minutes for tissues. Each kit contains sufficient materials for 50 preparations.

Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation Micro Kit (Micro)

Optimized for small inputs of cells and tissues, such as Laser-Captured Microdissection (LCM). Purification is based on spin column chromatography as the separation matrix. Norgen’s columns bind DNA under optimized salt concentrations and release the bound DNA under low salt and slightly alkali conditions. Preparation time for a single sample is approximately 60 minutes, and each kit contains sufficient materials for 50 preparations.

Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System)

Purification is based on the use of magnetic beads that bind DNA under optimized binding conditions. Norgen’s Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System) allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from various types of animal tissues or cell samples. Preparation for 10 purifications is approximately 40 minutes of hands-on time.

Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (High Throughput Magnetic Bead System)

Purification is based on the use of magnetic beads that bind DNA under optimized binding conditions. Norgen’s Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (Magnetic Bead System) allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from various types of animal tissues or cell samples. The Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (Magnetic Bead System) also can be integrated with a robotic automation system.

Overview

• Detection kits for the BKV/JCV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.

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.
