RNase activity in a convenient and sensitive fluorimetric assay that delivers results in real time. Great for Quality Testing for RNase contamination of materials and supplies.
RAA uses a novel RNA substrate tagged with a fluorescent reporter molecule (fluor) on one end and a quencher on the other. In the absence of RNases, the physical proximity of the quencher dampens fluorescence from the fluor to extremely low levels. When RNases are present, however, the RNA substrate is cleaved, and the fluor and quencher are spatially separated in solution. This causes the fluor to emit a bright green signal when excited by light of the appropriate wavelength. Fluorescence can be readily detected with a fluorometer. Since the fluorescence of the RAA Substrate increases over time when RNase activity is present, results monitored with a fluorometer can be evaluated kinetically. The sequence of the RAA Substrate has been carefully optimized to detect several RNases, including RNase A, RNase T1, RNase I, micrococcal nuclease, S1 nuclease, mung bean nuclease, and Benzonase.
Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.

All-in-one solution for inclusion body protein isolation and purification
Fast and convenient spin column protocol
Complete kit with Cell Lysis Reagent, Inclusion Body Solubilization Reagent, buffers and spin columns to purify proteins
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix
These kits provide everything required to isolate and purify inclusion body proteins from induced bacterial cultures. First a proprietary Cell Lysis Reagent is used to selectively lyse the cells and release inclusion bodies in their solid form. Next, inclusion bodies are dissolved and their contents released using the provided IB Solubilization Reagent. Inclusion body proteins are then further purified using spin columns for rapid and convenient buffer exchange and desalting. This kit provides a convenient way to screen recombinants prior to scaling up.
ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Micro Kit
The process is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 12 samples in only 60 minutes. Each spin column is able to recover up to 50 µg of acidic or basic proteins. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.
ProteoSpin™ Inclusion Body Protein Isolation Maxi Kit
The procedure is efficient and streamlined and can process up to 4 samples in approximately 2 hours. Each spin column is able to recover up to 12 mg of acidic or basic proteins from 100 mL of induced bacterial culture. Purified recombinant proteins are then ready for SDS-PAGE, 2D gels, Western blots, Mass Spectrometry analysis, and other applications.
About Inclusion Bodies
Bacteria are widely used for the expression of different proteins. However, 70-80% of the proteins expressed in bacteria by recombinant techniques are typically contained in insoluble inclusion bodies (i.e., protein aggregates). The protein of interest found in these subcellular structures is often inactive, due to incorrect folding. The production rate of recombinant proteins stored in inclusion bodies is invariably higher than those synthesized as soluble proteins. The reason behind this is thought to be the resistance of insoluble proteins to proteolysis by cellular enzymes. In addition, separation of insoluble recombinant proteins in inclusion bodies is considerably easier than that of soluble proteins. These factors have been the major influences favoring scale-up of high-value proteins using bacterial fermentation for example. Procedures for the purification of the expressed proteins from inclusion bodies are often labour-intensive, time-consuming and not cost-effective. This kit provides the essential reagents for cell disruption, inclusion body solubilization and purification using spin column chromatography – all optimized to work together thereby simplifying the process and saving a tremendous amount of time and cost.
Storage Conditions The Cell Lysis Reagent and IB Solubilization Reagent should be stored at 4°C upon receipt of this kit. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. Once opened, the solutions should be stored at 4°C when not in use except for Binding Buffer C and Binding Buffer N. Some precipitation will occur with 4°C storage. This precipitation should be dissolved with slight heating to room temperature before using.
