XTL-20 Series Metallographic Microscope

Overview

• Purification and enrichment of intact exosomes from plasma, serum, urine, cell culture media and saliva in less than 30 minutes.
• Versatile sample input ranging from 250 µL to 30 mL
  • Urine Exosome Purification Mini Kit (250 µL – 1 mL urine)
  • Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit (2 mL – 10 mL urine)
  • Urine Exosome Purification Maxi Kit (11 mL – 30 mL urine)
• Exosome purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin separating matrix through exosomes’ surface proteins.
• No precipitation reagents, overnight incubation, protease or coagulant treatments required
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration or special syringes required
• Purify intact exosomes with a size ranging from 40-200 nm depending on sample input type
• Purified exosomes are compatible with functional studies.
• Purified exosomes are free from any protein-bound cell-free circulating RNA
• Purified exosomes are compatible with NanoSight® or Electron Microscopy for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.
• Exosomal RNA can be extracted from the purified exosomes using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Purification technology or any other RNA extraction method.

The Urine Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for pure intact exosomes from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 µL to 30 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different urine sample volumes, and these EVs are ready for any downstream application. The purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin.

These kits provide a clear advantage over other available methods since they do not require any special instrumentation, ultracentrifugation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the purified exosomes will not be contaminated with any other RNA-binding proteins that may contaminate your exosomal RNA, which is essential if studying exosomal RNA gene expression.

NanoSight® Analysis

Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.

Exosomal RNA Analysis

Exosomal RNA can be isolated using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit from exosomes enriched using Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray or NGS and for Biomarker discovery.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. These kits are stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.

Important Note
Urine samples stored at -70°C, -20°C or at 4°C will develop some precipitation due to the aggregation of some of the highly abundant proteins in urine. Eliminating these precipitates using centrifugation or filtration may cause the loss of exosomes. Furthermore, these precipitates may affect the quality of the purified nucleic acid. We recommend the use of Norgen’s Urine Preservative when collecting urine samples, which is designed for the preservation of nucleic acids and proteins in fresh urine samples 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 as a liquid format in Norgen’s Urine Preservative Single Dose Ampules, as well as in a dried format in Norgen’s Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes.

Name of Product

HIT Control

Catalog Number

MQCOHIT 1

Short Info

The HIT Control (positive and negative) can be used for internal quality Control of the corresponding Milenia QuickLine HIT-Test (MQHIT 1/Z)

This product is only available in Germany!

Method/Platform

HIT-Lateral flow assay

Range/Assay Sensivity

positive and negative control

Test Principle

IgG antibodies are resposible for the heparin induced thrombocytopenia.

Immobilized anti-human IgG on the membrane of the test unit binds patients/control IgG-antibodies which are previously captured by the PF4/polyanion-complex which is detected by intensely colored gold nanoparticles.

The presence of PF4/polyanion-complex becomes visible at a colored test line. The surplus of gold particles continues to migrate through the membrane and is captured at the control line by specific antibodies.

sufficient for 50 tests

The HIT Control (positive and negative) can be used for internal quality Control of the corresponding Milenia QuickLine HIT-Test (MQHIT 1/Z)
