Opentrons Thermocycler GEN2 Seals are adhesive-backed Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) seals designed for use with the fully-automated Thermocycler Module GEN2. They come in a package of 10 seals. These seals need to be applied to the hood of the Thermocycler and can be reused up to 20 times. Opentrons Thermocycler GEN2 Seals need to be sterilized before each use.

Note, if you have a Thermocycler Module GEN1, please use the Thermocycler GEN1 Seals.

Overview

• Detection kits for WNV
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

West Nile Virus (WNV) belongs to the RNA virus family of Flaviviridae. It is known to spread primarily through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. The virus infects mainly birds but is also reported to infect humans as well as pets such as cats and dogs. In humans, the majority of the infections caused by WNV are asymptomatic. However, some individuals (the majority of the confirmed cases) could enter a second, febrile stage with flu-like symptoms – commonly known as West Nile Fever. In a more serious stage, the disease becomes neuroinvasive, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Such severe conditions could lead to mortality. As the symptoms of WNV are very similar to other common diseases but can be fatal at a severe stage, it is important to distinguish the virus early in the diagnosis, particularly at the molecular level.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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.

Overview

• AAV Purification from any input – cell fraction or media fraction
• High AAV recovery, up to 90%
• No specialized equipment needed
• Purification from a variety of AAV serotypes (including AAV6 and AAV9)
• Yields highly active AAV for in vivo and in vitro experiments
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are highly promising tools for both in vitro and in vivo gene transfer. Norgen’s AAV Purification Kits provide fast and simple procedures for concentrating and purifying AAV vectors from cell lysate and cell culture media. Purification is based on precipitation onto Norgen Biotek’s proprietary resin. Contaminating cellular debris is largely removed from the sample via a centrifugation step, while contaminating DNA and RNA is reduced using enzymatic digestion. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro and in vivo transduction experiments.

AAV Purification Kit

Norgen’s AAV Purification Kit contains sufficient materials for 15 preparations (33.5 mL per prep of supernatant (SN) or a total of 500 mL of supernatant input). Approximately 1 mL of cell pellet can be purified per prep, up to a maximum of 15 mL of cell pellet in total for the entire kit. Up to 33X sample concentration.

AAV Purification Mini Kit

Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 0.5-8 mL of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (200 µL). Preparation time for 4 samples is 1.5 hours, with 45 minutes of hands-on time.

AAV Purification Midi Kit

Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 8 mL up to 45 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 50X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1 mL). The kit may be used to purify up to 8 x 25 mL or 4 x 45 mL of samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 4 samples is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, with 1.5 hours of hands on time.

AAV Purification Maxi Kit (Slurry Format)

Each spin column is able to concentrate and purify AAV from 45 mL to 90 mL of input consisting of cell pellet, cell culture media, or cells and culture media mixed together. Up to 200X sample concentration. AAV vector purified in this manner is highly active for use in in vitro transduction experiments, and is eluted into a small volume (1-10 mL) using the optional concentration step. The kit may be used to purify up to 1 x 900 mL samples or 10 x 45-90 mL samples using the included columns. Preparation time for 1 x 900 mL sample is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours, with an optional concentration step requiring an additional 30 min.
