New Kits for Nucleic Acid Purification to Boost Genomics Research

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 15 Feb 2010
Genomics researchers and molecular biologists in general stand to benefit from a group of kits for the fast and simple isolation of nucleic acids from blood, plasma, and serum that have now reached the market.

The kits, produced by Norgen Biotek Corporation (Thorold, ON, Canada), provide fast, robust, reliable, and simple procedures for isolating and purifying high quality macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, circulating nucleic acids, and microRNA from a wide range of sample volumes (100 μL up to 10 mL).

The kits utilize a convenient spin column format for nucleic acid purification, and both fresh and frozen samples can be processed. More...
The molecular products obtained may be used for a number of applications including the detection of tumor biomarkers, viruses, and microRNA detection by PCR (polymerase chain reaction), quantitative PCR, RT-PCR, microarrays, and gene sequencing.

"This basket of new kits represents an exciting addition to our line of high quality products. These kits are unique in that they allow for the reliable isolation of all sizes of circulating nucleic acids without the use of inhibitory and harmful phenol or chloroform. Currently, we have more than 70 kits for genomics and proteomics research applications. Our mission is to bring to market innovative "Best-in-Class” sample preparation kits that can be used in research as well as in diagnostic applications. Once again we are taking advantage of our unique technology in order to develop sensitive and user-friendly products for our customers” said Dr. Haj-Ahmad, president and CEO of Norgen Biotek.
