Overview

• RNA/microRNA/DNA/Proteins are preserved for more than 2 years at room temperature in Norgen’s Urine Preservative
• Compatible with most DNA, Total RNA, microRNA and protein isolation methods
• Preservative is available in a single dose liquid format (ampule)
• Preservative is also available in a dried format in tubes – Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes
• Urine Collection and Preservation Devices are available in 4 convenient sizes: 5 cc tubes, 15 cc tubes, 50 cc tubes, and 120 cc cups

Norgen’s Urine Preservative is designed for the rapid preservation of DNA, RNA, microRNA and proteins from fresh urine samples. In addition, the Urine Preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the Urine Preservative allow samples to be stored for over 2 years at room temperature with no detected degradation of urine DNA, RNA or proteins.

Norgen’s Urine Preservative is available in 2 convenient formats:

1.  Urine Preservative Single Dose Ampules
With this product Norgen’s Urine Preservative is supplied in a liquid format in single dose ampules. The user simply collects 5 – 50 mL of urine into a urine collection container and adds the contents of the Urine Preservative Single Dose (Cat# 18126). The urine and preservative are then mixed, and the urine nucleic acids and proteins are preserved at room temperature.

2.  Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes
Norgen’s Urine Preservative is also available in a dried format in Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes. The user simply collects urine into the tubes and mixes gently until the orange preservative pellet in the tube has dissolved. Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes are available in 3 convenient sizes:

• 5 cc tubes, 1 – 5 mL of urine
• 15 cc tubes, 5 – 15 mL of urine
• 50 cc tubes, 5 – 45 mL of urine
• 120 cc cup, 100 – 120 mL of urine

Custom low volume, low profile/slim 384-well plates

About

Specially designed custom low volume, low profile/slim 384-well plates designed for use with our GeneArrayer. These plates are made from durable polypropylene delivering an excellent low fluorescence background interference and high performance when paired with our high-throughput genotyping instruments.

The unique, slimline plate design permits lower reaction volumes than standard 384-well plates (typically 1.6 – 2.0 µL) allowing for reaction miniaturization, with all the benefits this brings saving time, consumables and costs. This plate is designed specifically to be used with 3CR Bio’s GeneArrayer automated liquid handling instrument.

Plate Dimensions: Length 127.85 mm, Width 85.85 mm, Thickness 5.05 mm, Well Spacing 4.50 mm, Individual Well Capacity 3 µL.

Introduction

Hipure Microbial RNA kit is suitable for extracting high-purity total RNA from bacterial/yeast culture medium. This kit combines high-efficiency Magzol Reagent (one-step extraction reagent) and silicagel column purification technology to complete the extraction of high-purity total RNA in only 40 minutes. The obtained RNA can be directly used in RT-PCR, Northern blot, poly-A + purification, nucleic acid protection and in vitro translation.

Principle

Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 30 minutes
• High purity – the purified RNA can be directly used in various downstream applications
• High recovery – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• Good repeatability – silica gel column purification technology can obtain ideal results every time
• Broad spectrum – it can deal with various bacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria that are difficult to be lysed
• Sufficient components – the kit contains carried wall breaking enzymes and glass beads

Storage and Stability

Buffer PHC should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. DNase I should be stored at -20°C. However, short-term storage (DNase I up to 1 weeks, Buffer PHC up to 12 weeks) at room temperature(15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at roomtemperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
