The Protein Digestibility Assay Kit (K-PDCAAS) is used for in vitro measurement of the Animal-Safe Accurate Protein Quality Score (ASAP-Quality Score Method) developed under patent by Medallion Labs. This digestibility score, in conjunction with the essential amino acid profile plus protein and moisture content of the sample, is used to calculate the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) value.

N-bis(PEG2-propargyl)-N-(PEG2-amidoPEG1)-N-(bis(PEG2-propargyl) is a branched PEG linker with four terminal alkyne groups. The alkyne groups can react with azides via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry reactions. The PEG units help increase the solubility of the molecule in aqueous environment. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

CE-IVD marked in accordance with EU Directive 98/79/EC
Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
Fixative-free preservative, no cross-linking of DNA
Preserve cf-DNA/ct-DNA for 30 days at ambient temperature and for up to 8 days at 37°C.
Preserve cf-RNA for 30 days at ambient temperature
Preserve Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) for 14 days at ambient temperature
No plasma volume loss after shipping/transportation
Prevent hemolysis allowing better separation of plasma
Prevent apoptosis of blood cells and fragmentation of genomic DNA
Produce high quality/quantity of plasma cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA
Vacuumed to draw 8.4 mL of blood in 10 mL tubes
The procedure for plasma isolation using this kit is compliant with ISO 20186-3:2019
Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx are closed, evacuated plastic tubes for the collection and the preservation of cf-DNA, circulating tumor DNA, cf-RNA and circulating tumor cells in human whole blood samples during storage and shipping. Using these tubes in combination with Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Cell-Free Circulating DNA Purification Kits or Norgen’s Plasma/Serum RNA Purification Kits enables the purification and concentration of an inhibitor-free cf-DNA/ct-DNA/cf-RNA in a very small elution volume.
These tubes are ideal for collecting and preserving cf-DNA and cf-RNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes.
Performance
Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx abridge the collection/processing of whole blood for the subsequent purification of cf-DNA and/or cf-RNA. The cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx preserve and inhibit the programmed cell-death (apoptosis) of the blood, hence preventing the release of intracellular DNA/RNA into plasma. Whole blood samples can be shipped and stored at room temperature for the subsequent processing of plasma. The cf/ct DNA and cf-RNA levels are stable for up to 30 days at room temperature. The cf-DNA is also stable for up to 8 days at 37°C.
Workflow
NOTE: This product is not available for sale in the United States. For the research use only version, see Cat. 63950
Up to 30 days at room temperature (15-25°C) Up to 8 days at 37°C
Length of cf-RNA Preservation
Up to 30 days at room temperature (15-25°C)
Length of CTCs Preservation
Up to 14 days at room temperature (15-25°C)
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
When stored at 15-30°C, unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx are stable through the expiration date. See tube label for expiry date.
Short-term storage/shipping at -20°C to 37°C for up to 10 days is acceptable for unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx.
Do not freeze unfilled Norgen cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx for long term storage over 10 days. Freezing unfilled tubes may lead to loss of vacuum and precipitation may occur.
Cell-free DNA in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx is stable for up to 30 days when stored at room temperature (15-25°C)
Cell-free DNA in blood samples collected in Norgen’s cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes Dx is stable for up to 8 days when stored at 37ºC.

Sal-Like Protein 4 (SALL4), is a zinc finger transcription factor found in germ cells and human blood progenitor cells, with functional involvement in modulating Oct-4 to maintain embryonic stem cell pluripotency. SALL4 is a useful marker for acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, intratubular germ cell neoplasia, seminomas/dysgerminomas, and yolk sac tumors (both pediatric and postpubertal). Anti-SALL4 is used to detect embryonal carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gliomas, ovarian primitive germ-cell tumors, choriocarcinomas, spermatogonia, teratoma, gastric cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer. Expression of SALL4 is often associated with poor prognosis in HCC, and with metastasis in endometrial cancer, colorectal carcinoma, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
