The Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of saxitoxin in shellfish samples. This kit can be used for rapid test of Saxition in samples such as mussels and lobster tomalley.
The Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Kit uses a polyclonal antibody that binds both saxitoxin and a Saxitoxin-enzyme conjugate. Saxitoxin in the sample competes with the Saxitoxin-enzyme conjugate for a limited number of antibody binding sites.
The Kit is designed for purification of total RNA, including miRNA and other small RNA molecules (18nt), from cultured cells and various animal and human tissues, including difficult-to-lyse tissues samples.

Principle
Biological samples are first lysed and homogenized in a highly denaturing guanidine isothiocyanate-containing buffer, which immediately inactivates DNases and RNases to ensure isolation of intact DNA and RNA. The lysate is then passed through a Mini spin column. This column, in combination with the high-salt buffer, allows selective and efficient binding of genomic DNA. Flow-through from the column is digested by Proteinase K in the presence of ethanol. This optimized digestion, together with the subsequent addition of further ethanol, allows appropriate binding of total RNA, including miRNA, to the column. Contaminants are efficiently washed away and high-quality RNA is eluted.
Advantages
High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes
High applicability – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc.
High concentration – efficiently remove macromolecular RNA, enrich small RNA and improve sensitivity
Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K 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 stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Convenient – With the ready-to-use Master Mix, the user needs only to add template to the master mix and enzyme in order to set up the reverse transcriptase reaction
Time Savings – Set up RT reactions in a shorter time since less pipetting steps are required
Cost Efficient – No need to buy separate enzymes, dNTPs and buffers. All are included with the ready-to-use Master Mix kits
High Sensitivity and Yield – the optimized Master Mix allows for highly sensitive amplifications with high yields of PCR products
Robust Enzyme – broad range of working temperatures from 37°C to 60°C. Capable of amplifying difficult templates with a high degree of reproducibility
TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is Available in Three Convenient Formats:
This kit contains 5X RT Buffer and a vial of TruScript Enzyme Mix (200 units/µL). This enzyme can be used for reverse-transcription reactions with any user-supplied primers.
2. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat.#54420)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of total RNA (both poly A- or non-poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and primers (oligo dT and random hexamers) for effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts.
3. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for mRNA (Cat.#54400)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of messenger RNA (poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and oligo dT primer for the effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts or enriched mRNA sample.
