Overview

• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• ​Versatile sample input ranges
• Isolate all sizes of free-circulating RNA, including microRNA
• The purified exosomal RNA is free from any circulating RNA-binding proteins
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes are required
• No precipitation reagents, nor overnight incubation required
• Concentrate isolated exosomal RNA and are free-circulating RNA into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA as well as all sizes of the free-circulating protein-bound RNA, including microRNA. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, these kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

Introduction

HiPure Bacterial RNA Kit uses silica gel column purification to simplify the extraction. The whole process does not require phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The kit is suitable for efficiently extracting RNA from various bacterial samples. The purified RNA can be directly used for RT-PCR, Northern hybridization, etc. The kit has included lysozyme and glass beads, which can be used to treat gram-negative bacteria which is easy to be lysed, as well as gram-positive bacteria which is hard to be lysed, including enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus, etc.

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 lysozyme and glass beads

Storage and Stability

The kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Due to the lack of antibacterial agents, RNase Free Water may be contaminated by bacterial or fungal when placed or operated at room temperature. It is recommended to pack and store at 2-8°C to reduce contamination.

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
