Overview

• ASTM Type I Water
• Produced by reverse osmosis, ion-exchange, electro-deionization, ultrafiltration, UV treatment (UVC & 185 nm), 0.1 μm membrane filtration
• Nuclease-free, protease-free, endotoxin-free
• Suitable for molecular biology applications (qPCR, NGS etc.)
• Suitable for cell culture applications
• Produced in an ISO certified GMP laboratory
• Water system is routinely monitored for compliance with QC standards

The Norgen water purification system has been designed in conjunction with experts from Millipore Sigma. The Ultrapure NFW is purified in a two-stage process. The first stage, to produce type II water, includes pre-treatment with activated charcoal and polyphosphate, this water then undergoes reverse osmosis, electro-deionization and ion exchange to remove contaminants as well as UV treatment for disinfection. The Pure water then flows to a second system in a clean room with an additional 4 layers of purification. After passing through an additional ion exchange column, the water is then subjected to Ultrafiltration to remove particulates, bacteria, & ionic contaminants down to trace level, the water is then treated with UV light (182 nm wavelength) to break down organic matter. Lastly a second Ultrafilter for the production of pyrogen-, nuclease- and bacteria-free water at 18.2 MΩ. This water is of utmost purity and suitable for direct use in molecular biology applications such as qPCR and NGS, as well as cell culture and other applications.

Principle

This product is based on silica Column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• High quality DNA – meet a variety of downstream applications, including PCR, qPCR, enzyme digestion, hybridization, etc.
• Fast – without separation of leukocytes, organic extraction or ethanol precipitation
• Simple – all nucleic acids can be obtained by direct digestion
• Wide applicability- handle a variety of liquid samples

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. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
