Norgen Biotek Corp. products

The Small RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina consists of all the reagents and components required to generate small RNA libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on an Illumina platform. All molecular reagents including adaptors, primers, enzyme mixes and buffers are provided. A purification module is also provided for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at various steps of the workflow. The purification module utilizes Norgen’s patent resin technology which enhances recovery of desired library intermediates or final products. The library prep workflow could be used for different forms of input including purified total RNA or enriched small RNA, as well as RNA from low content inputs such as plasma, serum and urine.

This kit provides a convenient and rapid method to purify total RNA from small amounts of stool samples. All types of stool samples can be processed with this kit, including animal fecal samples, manure and samples collected using Norgen`s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Transport Tubes (Cat. 45660). The kit removes all traces of humic acids using rapid and simple spin column procedures. Bead tubes are also provided for effective homogenization of stool. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA and small interfering RNA. Both host and microbial RNA is recovered.

For rapid purification of total RNA - including microRNA - without phenol.

Norgen`s Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices are designed for 1) simple and non-invasive saliva collection and 2) preservation of DNA in saliva samples at ambient temperature. Each of the 50 Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components: (1) Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube, (2) Collection Tube Cap, and (3) Norgen`s Saliva DNA Preservative contained within a sealed squeezable ampoule. Saliva samples are collected by spitting inside the Collection Funnel which has been assembled with the Collection Tube. After collecting the required volume of saliva the Collection Funnel is removed and the contents of the Preservative Ampoule are then added and mixed with the collected saliva.
