The ExcelTaq™ 5X Fluorescent PCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use mixture for amplifying targeted DNA fragments. It is designed to serve as a master mix for virtually all PCR applications. This product is supplied as a 5X concentrated mixture containing all the essential ingredients for PCR with the exception of templates and primers. In addition, the mixture contains electrophoresis tracking dye (Bromophenol blue) and a safer fluorescent DNA staining dye, which enables the user to track the electrophoresis process in real time as well as eliminates the need for the staining process. The resultant PCR reaction mixture is sufficiently dense enough to be loaded directly into a TAE or TBE buffered gel for electrophoresis.

Product Info
Document
Product Info
t-Boc-aminooxy-PEG5-propargyl is a click crosslinker. Propargyl group is reactive with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. T-Boc-aminooxy can be converted to free aminooxy under mild acidic conditions and then can react with an aldehyde or ketone. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

EXTRAClean Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits
Product Info
Document
Product Info
Overview
Ensure optimal results for sensitive applications like NGS
Up to a tenfold increase in microRNA mapping during sequencing runs to reduce costs
Purification and enrichment of intact cell culture media exosomes for functional studies
No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA required
No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes required
No precipitation reagents nor overnight incubation required
Pure exosomes are purified and are free-from any other RNA-binding proteins
Purification is based on EXTRAClean spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
Norgen’s EXTRAClean Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of RNA from different cell culture media sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA. The kit provides a clear advantage over other available kits in that it does not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kits allows the user to elute into flexible elution volumes ranging from 50 μL to 100 μL. The purified RNA is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, Sequencing based applications, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
All sizes, including miRNA and small RNA (< 200 nt)
Elution Volume
50-100 μL
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
35-40 minutes
Average Yields
Variable depending on specimen
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All buffers 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.

Overview
Detection kits for the JCV
CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
The JC virus (JCV) is a type of human polyomavirus and belongs to the family Papovaviridae. JCV is a double-stranded DNA virus, and is genetically similar to BK virus and SV40. The virus is very common in the general population and it is believed that most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in children with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. However, it has not been established whether PML is the result of a primary infection with JCV in a person with impaired immunity or whether it follows reactivation of latent virus. JC virus is also the primary cause of nephropathy (kidney disease) in people who have received a kidney transplant and are on immunosuppressive therapy.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
