RNA-Solv® reagent
Supplier: OMEGA BIO-TEK
RNA-Solv® Reagent is a one reagent system for the isolation of total RNA from cells and tissues. The reagent, a single-phase solution consisting of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate, is a modification of the single-step RNA isolation method developed by Chomczynski and Sacchi. The sample is homogenised and lysed in RNA-Solv® Reagent, which maintains the integrity of the RNA while disrupting and denaturing endogenous RNases and other cellular components. Extraction of the lysate with chloroform further denatures proteins and separates the mixture into an organic and an aqueous phase. RNA remains exclusively in the aqueous phase, and is subsequently recovered by isopropanol.

Bacterial DNA kit, E.Z.N.A.®
Supplier: OMEGA BIO-TEK
The E.Z.N.A.® bacterial DNA kit allows the rapid and reliable isolation of high quality total cellular DNA from a wide variety of bacterial species. This kit uses optimised lysis condition and up to 1×10⁹ bacterial cells can be processed for each column. There are no organic extractions, thus reducing plastic waste and hands on time to allow multiple samples to be processed in parallel. Bacterial cells are grown to log-phase and harvested. The cell wall is removed by lysozyme digestion and bead beating, followed by protease digestion. Following lysis, binding conditions are adjusted and the sample is applied to a HiBind DNA spin-column. Two rapid wash steps remove trace salts and protein contaminants, and DNA is finally eluted in water or elution buffer. Purified DNA can be directly used in downstream applications without the need for further purification.

TriLink® 2',3'-Dideoxycytidine-5'-O-(1-Thiotriphosphate)
Supplier: TriLink BioTechnologies
2',3'-Dideoxycytidine-5'-O-(1-Thiotriphosphate) is a sugar modified nucleoside triphosphate where the 2' and 3' hydroxyl groups are absent, resulting in chain termination. This ddCTP analog also contains a 1-Thiotriphosphate which results in a nuclease resistant phosphorothioate linkage. The inability of polymerases to extend from a dideoxy nucleotide causes chain termination and is useful in antiviral research and in a variety of biotechnology applications.

PCR clean-up kit, Axygen® AxyPrep™ Mag
Supplier: Corning
The efficient removal of unincorporated dNTPs, salts and enzymes after any PCR is detrimental to the success or failure of downstream applications, such as genotyping, Sanger, and Next Generation Sequencing. The AxyPrep™ Mag PCR Clean Up Kit utilises a paramagnetic bead technology for rapid high throughput purification of PCR products. Additionally, the AxyPrep™ Mag PCR Clean Up Kit employs an optimised buffer to selectively bind PCR amplicons 60 bp and larger to paramagnetic beads, providing end users flexibility and high recovery options. The protocol comprises binding, washing and eluting steps, where primers, nucleotides, salts and enzymes in the reaction mixture are efficiently removed leaving a purified PCR product that is essentially free of contaminants. No centrifugation or filtration steps are required, allowing the process to be adapted to multiple commercially available automation platforms.

E.Z.N.A.® blood RNA kit
Supplier: OMEGA BIO-TEK
The E.Z.N.A.® Blood RNA Kit is designed for the isolation of total intracellular RNA from up to 1 ml of fresh, or frozen whole blood treated with any common anticoagulant such as heparin, EDTA or acid-citrate-dextrose. The procedure completely removes contaminants and enzyme inhibitors making total RNA isolation fast, convenient and reliable. Red blood cells are selectively lysed and white cells are collected by centrifugation. After lysis of white blood cells under denaturing conditions that inactivate RNases, the lysate is homogenised with a homogeniser spin column. The sample is then applied to a HiBind® spin column. Cellular debris and other contaminants such as haemoglobin are effectively washed away and high-quality RNA is finally eluted in DEPC treated water.
