Introduction

The Kit is specially designed for simultaneous purification of genomic DNA and total RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. Purified DNA/RNA is suitable for use in applications such as real-time PCR and pyrosequencing.

Principle

The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and protease. DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, the supernatant contain RNA was collected and bind to MagBind Particles. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Simultaneous extraction – simultaneously isolate DNA and RNA from one sample
• Post digestion sorting – higher DNA and RNA yields
• High RNA yield – monodisperse carbonyl adsorption

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, MagPure Particles N and MagBind Particles should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stablefor at least 18 months under these conditions.

The CellG3 assay reagent for the measurement of endo-cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) contains two components; 
1) 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellotrioside (BCNPG3) and 2) thermostable β-glucosidase. The benzylidene blocking group prevents any hydrolytic action by the β-glucosidase on BCNPG3.  Incubation with an endo-cellulase generates a non-blocked colourimetric oligosaccharide that is rapidly hydrolysed by the ancillary β-glucosidase.  The rate of formation of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol is therefore directly related to the hydrolysis of BCNPG3 by the endo-cellulase.  The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).

Please note that a new assay kit (K-CellG5) is now available for the measurement of endo-cellulase.  The CellG5 reagent contains a cellopentaose core and exhibits vastly improved sensitivity for some cellulases.  In addition, the exchange of the benzylidene blocking group in CellG3 for 3-keto-butylidene in CellG5 improves the substrate’s water solubility significantly, allowing for a reduction in the concentration of DMSO required in the assay.  As DMSO is known to inhibit certain cellulases, this is another benefit in using CellG5.  Megazyme now recommends the use of K-CellG5 for all assays for the measurement of endo-cellulase.
