Propargyl-PEG3-Ms

Description

This fast screening test kit contains 10 tests with everything needed for accurate results of unsafe lead levels in the field. 

This is a revolutionary product designed to make Lead testing in water safe, easy, and affordable.  This fast screening test kit contains 10 tests with everything needed for accurate results of unsafe lead levels. With reliable results in only 10 minutes, this test kit clearly gives results confirming Lead in water and conforming to the EPA guideline of 15 ppb (µg/L). The kit can test water quality from various sources including faucets, wells (ground water), and home purification systems.

Standards and Regulations for Lead [ACCLPP 2012]

• EPA: Drinking Water: 15ppb
• FDA: Juice: 50ppb
• EPA: Residential Soil: 400 ppm (play areas), 1200 ppm (non-play areas)
• CPSC: Paint: 90ppm
• FDA: Bottled drinking water: 5ppb

High Blood lead levels (i.e., greater than 700ppb) can cause serious health effects, including seizure, coma, and death.  Blood levels as low as 100ppb have been associated with adverse effects on cognitive development, growth, and behavior among children aged 1-5 years.

Sample method:

1. Take a first-draw sample

Immediately after opening a faucet or valve, collect a 250 mL sample. This sample should be from each tap used for consumption.

2. Take a flush sample

If first-draw sample results show elevated lead levels of 5 ppb or higher, collect a flush sample. To do this, ensure water has not been used for between 8 to 18 hours, then collect the sample at 30 seconds.

3. Take sequential samples

If you want to test a lead service line, collect 8 to 10 sequential samples, depending on how far the line is from the tap.

Overview

• Purification and enrichment of intact exosomes from plasma, serum, urine, cell culture media and saliva in less than 30 minutes.
• Versatile sample input ranging from 50 µL to 10 mL
  • Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Mini Kit (50 µL – 1 mL Plasma/Serum)
  • Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Midi Kit (1 mL – 4 mL Plasma/Serum)
  • Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Maxi Kit (4 mL – 10 mL Plasma/Serum)
• Exosome purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin separating matrix through exosomes’ surface proteins.
• No precipitation reagents, overnight incubation, protease or coagulant treatments required
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration or special syringes required
• Purify intact exosomes with a size ranging from 40-200 nm depending on sample input type
• Purified exosomes are compatible with functional studies.
• Purified exosomes are free from any RNA-binding proteins
• Purified exosomes are compatible with NanoSight® or Electron Microscopy for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.
• Exosomal RNA can be extracted from the purified exosomes using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Purification technology or any other RNA extraction method.

The Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for intact exosomes from different plasma/serum sample volumes ranging from 50 µL to 10 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different plasma/serum sample volumes, and these EVs are ready for any downstream application. The purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin.

These kits provide a clear advantage over other available methods since they do not require any special instrumentation, ultracentrifugation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the purified exosomes will not be contaminated with any other RNA-binding proteins that may contaminate your exosomal RNA, which is essential if studying exosomal transcripts.

NanoSight® Analysis

Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration

Exosomal RNA Analysis

To purify exosomes and isolate exosomal RNA, choose the Plasma/serum Exosome Purification and RNA isolation kits. The protocol is divided into 2 parts and an aliquot of purified exosomes can be taken for applications like NTA/TEM etc. before processing them for RNA isolation. Or you can use the Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit if you’ve already purified exosomes using a Norgen kit or another method. . Exosomal RNA isolation is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin without the need for phenol extractions or carrier RNA. This RNA is ideal for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray, or NGS and for biomarker discovery.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.
