qPCR Probe 2x LyoCake Master Mix (freeze-dried)

Overview

• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• ​Versatile sample input ranges
• Isolate all sizes of free-circulating RNA, including microRNA
• The purified exosomal RNA is free from any circulating RNA-binding proteins
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes are required
• No precipitation reagents, nor overnight incubation required
• Concentrate isolated exosomal RNA and are free-circulating RNA into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA as well as all sizes of the free-circulating protein-bound RNA, including microRNA. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, these kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA 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.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.

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.

Endonucleases Non-Specific, HL-SAN

OverView

HL-SAN efficiently removes nucleic acids from buffers typically used in protein purification. Due to its high salt tolerance, it is the obvious choice for host-cell DNA removal in settings where salt is added to reduce aggregation. Especially efficient for removing nucleic acids from proteins with high affinity for DNA and RNA. Proven performance during lysis and early stages of protein purification processes, as well as high-salt eluates. Cold-adapted enzyme with excellent performance also at ambient temperatures and during over-night digestion at 4°C.

Recommended applications:

Complete removal of DNA 

Viscosity reduction

Key advantages with this Salt Active Nuclease:

• Non specific endonuclease
• Optimum activity at high salt concentration (0.5 M NaCl)
• Active at low temperatures (20% at 6ºC)
• Easily inactivated
• Broad pH range
• Temperature stable

Figures

Figure 1. Optimum activity in solutions with high salinity

HL-SAN has optimum activity at ∼0.5 M NaCl, but operates at a broad range of [NaCl] and [KCl]. The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5, 5 mM MgCl₂ with varying [NaCl] or [KCl]. The maximum activity was set to 100%.

Figure 2. Temperature and activity

HL-SAN has optimum activity at ~35°C, but works over a broad temperature range (20% activity at 10°C and 50°C). The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5 containing 5 mM MgCl₂ and 0.5 M NaCl.

Fig 3. The effect of MgCl₂ and MnCl₂ concentration on the HL-SAN activity.

The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5, 0.5 M NaCl and with varying concentrations of MgCl₂ or MnCl₂. The activity of the sample containing 5 mM MgCl₂ was set to 100%.

Figure 4. HL-SAN activity vs pH/[NaCl]

The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer with different pHs and different concentrations of NaCl. All buffers contained 5 mM MgCl₂. The nature of the buffer was pH-dependent, but generally the NaCl-optimum was the same in all buffers/pHs. The exception was etanolaminbuffer at pH 9 and pH 9.5 in which the NaCl-optimum was shifted to the left (not shown).

Figure 5. Buffer composition affects substrate preference

Without NaCl, the specificity towards ssDNA and dsDNA is similar. At 0.5 M NaCl, the activity towards dsDNA increases, while the activity towards ssDNA is unaffected.

Figure 6. HL-SAN digests ssDNA to ~5-13 nt, and dsDNA to ~5-7 nt

The size of the end products from ssDNA varies from ~5-13 nt, while dsDNA is digested to around ~5-7 nt. The size of the end products seems to depend on the DNA sequence. Substrates 1 and 2 were ssDNA with different sequences and substrates 3 and 4 were dsDNA with similar sequences but with a FAM-label at different ends. Substrate 5 was dsDNA with the same sequence as substrate 3 and 4 but with a FAM-label at both ends.

Figure 7. HL-SAN activity decreases with increasing concentrations of glycerol

The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.5 M NaCl and with increasing concentrations of glycerol. The activity of the control not containing glycerol was set to 100%.

Figure 8. The activity of HL-SAN at different concentrations of imidazole

The activity of HL-SAN was tested in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.5 M NaCl and with varying concentrations of imidazole. The activity of the control not containing imidazole was set to 100%.
