Exceptional value for money Rapid detection of all clinically relevant subtypes Positive copy number standard curve for quantification Highly specific detection profile High priming efficiency Broad dynamic detection range (>6 logs) Sensitive to < 100 copies of target
Accurate controls to confirm findings
The Primerdesign genesig Kit for Shigella species (Shigella_spp) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of Shigella_spp genomes. The kit is designed to have a broad detection profile. Specifically, the primers represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design.
The dynamics of genetic variation means that new sequence information may become available after the initial design. Primerdesign periodically reviews the detection profiles of our kits and when required releases new versions.
The target sequence is within the virulence plasmid pCP301 (VirA) which is carried by nearly all clinical isolates of shigella. This target has previously been shown to be a good genetic marker for Shigella in other real time PCR based studies (Hiroshi Fukushima et.al 2003.) The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with over 95% of reference sequences in the NCBI database based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

Overview
Efficient depletion of bovine exosomes from Fetal Bovine Serum
Deplete exosome-sized vesicles from versatile FBS volumes
No protease treatment required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation
No precipitation reagents required
No overnight incubation required
Exosome depletion confirmed by reduction of bovine miRNAs below detectable levels
The depleted FBS provides the same cellular growth rates as the standard FBS
Purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary Silicon Carbide resin matrix
Norgen’s FBS Exosome Depletion Kits provides a quick and easy protocol for the depletion of bovine exosomes from FBS prior to using it as a growth supplement in your culture medium. The FBS recovered from the depletion process is exosome-depleted and does not contain any quantifiable bovine miRNAs. Moreover, the exosome-depleted FBS will support the growth of your cells of interest similar to the non-depleted FBS. Norgen’s kits allow for the processing of different FBS volumes. The depletion is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require ultracentrifugation, any special instrumentation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the depletion process is an inexpensive method for exosome depletion from FBS, as compared to the expensive current ready-to-use exosome-depleted media available on the market.
Background
Most culture medium used for the growth and propagation of cells in culture require the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a growth supplement to media. FBS is obtained from bovine (cow) serum, and therefore contains large quantities of bovine exosome vesicles. These exosomes may interfere with some types of studies, or may lead to unreliable results when studying the exosomes shed from your cells of interest in normal culture conditions. Therefore, the use of exosome-depleted FBS is highly recommended for many types of studies.

NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms)
Product Info
Document
Product Info
The NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for the construction of high quality cell-free DNA (cfDNA) libraries using 1 ng to 50 ng of cell-free DNA as input. The kit has a simple work flow and a fast procedure. Multiplexing of the cell free DNA library is possible based on the index type.
NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
The main source of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is derived from apoptotic hematopoietic cells in blood and found in the plasma. The length of the cfDNA is about 150-200 bp in length. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) derived from malignant tumors is a part of cfDNA. Both cfDNA and ctDNA can be used as a noninvasive biomarker since it offers a better approach in comparison to invasive tissue biopsies.
NGS has been used for cfDNA and ctDNA sequencing in the field of liquid biopsy as it provides a whole genome level of molecular profiling. One of the hurdles for cfDNA sequencing is the difficulty of library preparation from the limited amount of cfDNA obtained from plasma. Our cell-free NGS kit makes it easy to get enough libraries from limited input in just 1.5 hours.
Three index types are available for the NGS Cell Free DNA Library Prep Kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30029): Libraries do not have index.
Index(Cat.# 30031): Each of our index primers contains a unique 6-base index sequence that can be used for sample identification. Total 48 library multiplexing is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30033): Cell-free DNA library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible with the unique dual indexes. We have developed a Four-Base Difference Index System. The system have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8 bases index length. The primers effectively minimize sequencing errors such as mis-assignment, index hopping, index contamination etc. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34031).
Kit advantages:
Fast and simple protocol
Hands-on time is around 10 minutes
The total protocol time is only 1.5 hours
Easy procedure based on:
Ready-to-use master mix for easy setup of reactions
Less reaction components to simplify bench work
Less magnetic beads used for cleanup procedures: This can reduce more than 50% of the beads consumption
Guaranteed high library conversion efficiency
Low input cell-free DNA: From 1 ng to 50 ng
Comparison of library conversion efficiency with different samples under the same condition.
Comparison of library yield with different samples under the same condition.

The hydrogen peroxide Assay Kit provides a simple robust method for the measurement of hydrogen peroxide. This kit utilizes a highly sensitive Megaplex Red probe which in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), allows for the measurement of H2O2 in a sample. Upon oxidation of the probe by HRP, a coloured product (resorufin) is formed that can be measured in fluorescence mode using excitation in the range 530-560 nm and emission at ~ 590 nm or colourimetrically at 570 nm. The excitation and emission maxima of Megaplex Red are 571 nm and 585 nm respectively.
