Norgen Biotek Corp., a Canadian biotechnology company focusing principally on advancing powerful products for nucleic acids and protein purification, launched the first in its series of RNA purification products that are based on its patented purification technology.
Norgen's RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of all RNA species from cultured animal cells, bacteria, yeast, blood and small tissue samples. The kit allows for fast and easy processing of samples using a spin-column format. Both high and low molecular RNAs can be isolated in a few easy steps. Total RNA has been isolated and detected from as little as a single cell using this kit. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection, primer extension and expression array assays.
"We are leveraging the unique binding characteristics of our resin and applying the technology widely in the purification of biomolecules.," said Dr. Y. Haj-Ahmad, President & CEO of Norgen Biotek. Additional information is available on the company's website: www.norgenbiotek.com.
