Norgen Biotek Corp., an innovative Canadian biotechnology company focusing primarily on advancing powerful tools for nucleic acid and protein purification, today announced the expansion of its RNA product offerings by launching a powerful new tool for isolating RNA, microRNA, DNA, and proteins (the All-in-One Purification Kit) sequentially from a single sample. In addition, Norgen is also introducing their new Total RNA Purification 96-Well Kit for high throughput total RNA purification with the same benefits and features as our highly successful total RNA kit based on spin columns. 

The novel All-in-One Purification Kit will enable scientists to isolate total RNA including microRNA, genomic DNA and total proteins sequentially from a single sample using one column, without the use of phenol/chloroform or ace tone. A microRNA Enrichment Column is also provided for optional separate purification and enrichment of microRNA from the total RNA fraction. The simple, streamlined procedure will allow for the efficient isolation of the four macromolecules in less than 20 minutes with scientists no longer needing to divide their initial sample or lysate, thus resulting in better consistency. The purified macromolecules are well suited for many downstream applications including PCR amplifications, RT-PCR and Real-Time PCR, as well as Southern blots, Northern blots, Western blots, and Dot blots, cDNA synthesis, microarrays and mass spectrometry. 

The All-in-One Purification Kit is a valuable new tool for both academic and medical researchers. It serves as the 4-in-1 solution for those biologists who are interested in the interactions of multiple disciplines including RNA interference, genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, systems biology and proteomics. This kit is particularly useful for the characterization of precious samples such as needle biopsies and cell line foci, as well as for mutant analysis, RNA interference studies, cell differentiation studies and pathogen detection. 

"Our new 4-in-1 kit represents an exciting addition to our line of high quality novel products. I am confident that our genomics and proteomics customers will find this kit highly enabling. Why isolate only a single macromolecule when you can get all three at the same time? Our mission is to continue to bring to market innovative products for researchers in the fields of systems biology." said Dr. Haj-Ahmad, President & CEO of Norgen Biotek.
