Overview

• Extract total RNA, including virus & viroid RNA
• Robust lysis buffer is well-suited to even challenging samples such as pine needle, grape leaf, etc
• Isolate total RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
• Isolated RNA is of high quality, integrity and diversity
• Also available in 96-well format for high throughput applications
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, including virus and viroid RNA, from a wide range of plants. Total RNA can be purified from fresh or frozen plant tissues, plant cells or filamentous fungi samples using this kit. All sizes of RNA are purified, including microRNA (miRNA) . The procedure is rapid and convenient. 

The RNA is purified without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest quality, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.  

Norgen’s Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit is also available in a 96-well (High Throughput) format for high throughput applications.  Purification with the 96-well plates can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.

Description

Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow Kit can be used for the screening of Mercury in water samples at 10 ppb in the field.

Mercury contamination is a serious worldwide environmental problem. As it is difficult to detoxify by chemical or biological methods, gradual Mercury ion accumulation in the nervous and cardiovascular systems of the human body can subsequently cause serious diseases.   Long-term health consequences of drinking Mercury-contaminated food and water include brain, heart, kidney, lungs  and immune system problems for adults, and the physical and mental development delays in infants and children.  Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow test gives results conforming of 10ppb or greater.  Using the supplied pipette, simply fill the vial with your water sample, place the water into the sample port and wait 5 minutes.

Applications for Fish and Shellfish possible:

Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish (1990-2012)

Introduction

The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from whole blood, cells and tissues using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol / chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. The purified RNA can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection and in vitro translation.

Principle

The Kit simplifies isolation of RNA from blood with a fast spin-column procedure. Red blood cells are selectively lysed and white cells collected by centrifugation. White cells are then lysed using highly denaturing conditions which immediately inactivate RNases. After homogenization using the DNA spin column, the sample is applied to the RNA column. Total RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away, leaving pure RNA to be eluted in 30–100µl RNase-free water (provided with the kit) for direct use in any downstream application.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 20 minutes by using column purification method
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG
