Agarose LM is the original low melting agarose. This "molecular biology grade" agarose gives gels with better properties and higher transparency than the standard normal melting point agarose. The agarose is equivalent to SeaPlaque™ from Lonza. Agarose LM is a low melting agarose with a very high separation capacity for large DNA fragments (>1000 bp), RNA and proteins. Enzymatic manipulations (eg, digestion, ligation, PCR, etc.) can be performed in the molten gel. Extraction of the DNA is therefore not necessary. Low melting Agarose LM is excellently suited for digestion with β-agarase (S5223). Large DNA fragments can be isolated very gently. The low melting agarose LM is used in the analytical and preparative field. For optimal results, the gel should be stored for at least 1 hour before use at +2°C to +8°C. Genaxxon offers agaroses for a wide variety of applications. There are agaroses with different melting points or with normal or high-resolution separation properties of DNA fragments. Standard melting point agarose M3044 with standard resolution used in routine DNA electrophoresis for separation of a wide range of DNA fragments from 50bp up to 20kbp. This agarose is available as powder (Standard Agarose LE (M3044 >)) or as high-quality, multi-purpose tablets (M3054 >) available in blister packaging in 200 or 1,000 tablet quantities. These are compact, pre-weight and therefore easy-to-use.

Agarose Mega resolved DNA and RNA fragments from >100bp up to 50kb. Due to the high gel strength the agarose is ideally suited for Southern- and Northern blotting experiments or Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) as gel will not break during handling or electrophoresis. Due to the high gel strength, low concentrations of agarose may be used and high molecular weight molecules migrate rapidly without significant resctriction. The high gel strength reduces separation times for large DNA molecules while maintaining high resolution. Agarose Mega can also be used for the preparative separation of nucleic acids or for Ouchterlony or radial immundiffusion experiments. Genaxxon offers Agaroses for different purposes. Two melting point options and normal or high resolution separation of DNA fragments are available.

Agarose Tiny is a low-melting high resolution agarose that is suitable for molecular biology applications and produces gels with better separation properties and greater clarity than standard agarose. It is very transparent even at high gel concentrations (3.0 - 4.5%) and can be used with all buffer systems. The low melting temperature makes Agarose Tiny ideal for preparative DNA and RNA electrophoresis, while the low gelling temperature is ideal for tissue culture cell cloning experiments and viral plaque assays. In addition to the above mentioned properties, Agarose Tiny can also be used for high-resolution (2 bp) gel electrophoresis in the range from 10 to 500 bp. Example: PCR products or small DNA fragments after restriction digestion or in mutation analyses. Features:Like Lonza's SeaPlaque™, Agarose Tiny has a low melting point (<64°C, 3.0% gel) and gel point (<25°C, 3.0% gel) and low DNA-binding capacity. Their use is particularly recommended for preparative RNA and DNA gels. Genaxxon offers Agaroses for different purposes.

Our Agarose Tiny HT is a high resolution (+/-2 bp), normal melting agarose for fine resolution of small DNA fragments in the 20 bp to 1500 bp range. It can be used for genotyping, allele sizing and short tandem repeat analysis. Agarose Tiny works as a molecular screen and has twice the resolution of the finest sieving agaroses. It can discriminate between fragments which differ by only 2-4 bp in length and thus, is able to compete with acrylamide gels, being much easier to handle as the latter. Agarose Tiny HT 2% to 4% gels give similar results to Polyacrylamide 6% to 8% gels. For efficient resolution, the concentration of Agarose Tiny HT should be adjusted according to the range of band sizes analyzed, and the gel running buffer used (TAE or TBE).

DNase I is an endonuclease isolated from bovine pancreas that digests double- and single-stranded DNA into oligo- and mono-nucleotides. DescriptionDNAse I is used, among other things, to avoid unwanted cell clumping during tissue disaggregation, which makes dispersion of individual cells difficult. Since tissue disaggregation and subsequent isolation of single cells is always accompanied by rupture and lysis of some cells, DNA is released from these cells into the surrounding medium. The released DNA in the medium is thought to be responsible for undesirable cell clumping during tissue dissociation procedures. This clumping effect can be avoided by adding deoxyribonuclease (DNase) to the dissociation medium and has been described for a variety of different cell and tissue types. DNase I is suitable for eliminating DNA from RNA preparations prior to sensitive applications, such as RT-PCR. Since no RNA purification procedure removes 100% of the DNA, RNA samples should be digested with DNase I before RT-PCR. A simple 15 minute digestion at room temperature removes the contaminating DNA. DNase I is inactivated by adding the stop solution and heating. Heating also denatures the RNA, so the RNA can be used directly for reverse transcription. This DNAse I is not RNase-free and has to be chemically treated if used for RNA isolation procedures.

NGS DNA Puri MagBeads is a SPRI-based chemistry that speeds and simplifies nucleic acid size selection and PCR purification for DNA and/or RNA library preparation for Next Generation sequencing. It is compatible with mainstream NGS library prepared kits. NGS DNA Puri MagBeads utilize SPRI (Solid Phase Reverse Immobilization) paramagnetic bead technology to enable DNA purification and size selection during NGS library construction.NGS DNA Puri MagBeads are compatible with most NGS library construction kits (DNA, RNA). The kit allows users to seamlessly replace competitor beads (i.e. AMPure XP Beads) in current bead clean-up and size selection protocols without loss of efficiency. Why Purification and Quality Control of DNA preps for NGS?The purification step is usually necessary to remove unwanted material that might interfere with sequencing. Some NGS platforms may have tight size requirements, and discarding fragments that are too large or too small can improve sequencing efficiency by far. The optimal library size is given by the sequencing application. It is common to clean up nucleic acids using magnetic beads. Quality control is the last process before sequencing. As Subsequent experiments are time-consuming and expensive, strict quality control steps are required to ensure all samples are appropriate for their applications. Confirming the quality and quantity of DNA increases the reliability of sequencing data! The Genaxxon NGS MagBead DNA purification kit protocol can be adapted to your current liquid handling workstation (e.g., Beckman, Hamilton, Tecan, Caliper, Perkin Elmer, Agilent and Eppendorf) utilizing your current protocol as well as it can be performed manually.

Proteinase K can be inhibited by a variety of substances. These include ‘denaturing substances’, detergents and proteinase inhibitors. Sensitivity to inhibitors depends pretty much on the specific application (exact pH, concentration, temperature). Inhibitors frequently used in biochemistry and molecular biology are:SDS: High concentrations of SDS can denature and inactivate proteinase K.EDTA: EDTA is a chelating agent that can bind to metal ions that are essential for proteinase K activity.Urea: High concentrations of urea can denature and thereby inactivate proteinase K.Detergents: Some detergents, such as Triton X-100 or Tween® 20, can inhibit proteinase K, especially when the detergents are present in high concentrations.Protease inhibitors: Protease inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), can irreversibly inhibit proteinase K.Chaotropic salts: Depending on the DNA extraction protocol, the presence of chaotropic salts or detergents may increase proteinase K activity. However, the same reagents may also inhibit proteinase K activity.Proteinase K can be obtained from Genaxxon as Powder (M3036) > or as 20mg/mL Solution (M3037) >.Produced by Genaxxon bioscience GmbH, founded in 2002 by Dr. Norbert Tröndle to provide reliable products for PCR and custom cell culture media formulations, the Proteinase K Solution 20 mg/mL offers a dependable and efficient solution for your molecular biology needs.

Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is a nonspecific endopeptidase derived from an Arctic marine microbial source. It has a broad substrate specificity and is easy to inactivate after use. Starting at a temperature of 60°C, the Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is heat-inactivated, making it ideal for heat-sensitive samples. The Proteinase Low-Temp is most active in the temperature range of 25°C-40°C. Recommended inactivation conditions are: Typically up to 15 minutes at 40°C – 65°C (inactivation by denaturation). It is known that histones and other proteins shield nucleic acids from an optimal interaction with other DNA-binding proteins and enzymes. Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is ideal for transforming chromatin and other compact nucleic acids into mere DNA. The enzyme is easily inactivated. This allows thermal inactivation at temperatures that provide RNA integrity and avoid the dissociation of dsDNA.Advantages:- Easy to deactivate- Active at high salt content- Compatible with downstream analyzes Application examples:Preparation of chromosomal DNA for PFGE- Degradation of nucleases (DNase, RNase) in the preparation of nucleic acids, including the recovery of native RNA- Isolation of genomic DNA from tissue of mouse tails- Isolation of genomic DNA from cell culturesSpecific activity: >30 U/mg. Foreign activity: RNase and DNase undetectable. Temperature optimum: + 25°C-40°C (pH 7-10). Recommended inactivation conditions: Typically up to 15 minutes at 40°C – 65°C (inactivation by denaturation).Inhibitors: General Serine protease inhibitors such as PMSF (M3194) >.Instructions for use: The enzyme is stable up to 2 years when stored at -20°C. Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is stable even when stored at 4°C (>6 months) and room temperature (>4 weeks).The optimal enzyme activity is between pH 7 and 10. Recommended temperature range for the activity is 25-40°C. The activity of Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is not dependent on divalent cations such as calcium (Ca2 +) and is therefore active in buffers containing EDTA (<40°C reaction temperature).Genaxxon Proteinase Low-Temp is suitable for the digestion of proteins in the presence of SDS (0.2-1%) and urea (1-5 M). The enzyme tolerates 500mM guanidine thiocyanate and 1% Triton X-100 (>50% activity). There is no significant loss of activity at 400 mM NaCl. Proteinase K is used for the digestion of proteins in cell lysates (tissue, cell culture cells) and for the release of nucleic acids, since it very effectively inactivates DNases and RNases. The digest with Proteinase K for the purification of nucleic acids is performed in the presence of EDTA (inhibition of magnesium-dependent enzymes). Proteinase K can be obtained from Genaxxon as Powder (M3036) > or as 20mg/mL Solution (M3037) >.
Ribonuclease A is an endo-ribonuclease specifically cleaving single stranded RNA at the 3' side of pyrimidine bases (cytosine and uracil). RNAse A ist used to prepare RNA-free DNA, to digest non-hybridised regions of RNA-DNA hybrids and as a molecular weight marker. The pH optimum for RNAse A is between 7.0-7.5. RNAse A is inhibited by Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) >, guanidinium salt (4M GuaSCN), beta-Mercaptoethanol, heavy metals, vanadyl-ribonucleoside complexes, RNAse-inhibitor from human placenta and by competitive DNA. RNAse A cleaves single- and double-stranded RNA and RNA in RNA:DNA hybrids at low salt conditions (100 mM NaCl). At high salt conditions (>300 mM NaCl), RNAse A cleaves single-stranded RNA only. The enzyme can only be removed by Proteinase K digest and subsequent phenol extraction. Elimination of DNAse activity: Product S5231 (RNAse A (not certified DNAse free)) may contain DNAse activity. As RNAse A is heat stable it is recommended to heat inactivate DNAse activity before use. Procedure: 10mg/mL RNAse A in 0.01 sodium acetate (pH5.2) have to be heated to 100°C for 15 minutes in a water bath. After 15 minutes, the RNAse shall remain in the water bath while the water cools down to room temperature. pH can be adjusted by addition of 0.1 time the volume of 1M Tris-HCl (pH7.4). After aliquotation of the now DNAse free RNAse A solution, each aliquote should be stored a -20°C. NOTE: RNAse A precipitates if concentrated solutions are heated to 100°C at neutral pH! Stock solution: Stock solutions are prepared at concentrations from 1 - 10mg/mL in 10mM Tris/HCl, pH7.5; 15mM NaCl or in 10mM Tris/HCl, pH7.5; 1mM EDTA, pH8.0 (TE buffer).The recommended working concentration is 10µg/mL (removal of RNA from plasmid preparations; 1hr, RT) or 100ng/mL (preparation of 'blunt ends' of double-stranded cDNA). Stability:RNase A aggregates during lyophilizing and storage. It has a high affinity to glas surfaces, which has to be taken into consideration. At neutral pH (e. g. in PBS pH 7.4) and high concentrations (>10mg/mL) the enzyme will precipitate. At +2°C to +8°C (lyophilized) it is stable for several years (dry storage), in solution (-20°C) several years or (+2°C to +8°C) several weeks.

T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bonds between 5' phosphate and 3' hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA/RNA. The enzyme can join blunt end and cohesive end termini, repair single stranded nicks in duplex DNA, RNA, or DNA/RNA hybrids.Cohesive End Ligation:For most cohesive end ligations, a 30 minute incubation at 20°C is sufficient. Incubations at 16°C for 4-16 hours are routinely used for the majority of applications. Ligation of blunt ends and single-base pair overhang fragments requires more enzyme to achieve the same extent of ligation as cohesive end DNA fragments. Ligation may be enhanced by addition of PEG, or by reducing the rATP concentration. - T4 DNA Ligase requires ATP > as a cofactor.- T4 DNA Ligase is strongly inhibited by NaCL or KCl if their concentration exceeds 200mM.- Ligation of blunt-ended and single-base pair overhang fragments requires about 50-times as much enzyme to achieve the same extent of ligations cohesive-end DNA fragments.- Blunt-end ligation may be enhanced by addition of PEG 4000 (10% w/v) final concentration or hexamine chloride, or by reducing the ATP concentration to 50µM.- To dilute T4 DNA Ligase for subsequent storage at -20°C the usage of a storage buffer containing 50% glycerol is recommended.- To dilute T4 DNA Ligase for immediate use, usage of 1X Reaction Buffer is recommended.Applications • Cloning of restriction enzymes generated DNA fragments • Cloning of PCR products • Connection of double-stranded oligonucleotide linkers or adapters with DNA • site-specific mutagenesis • Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) • Nicking repair in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids • Self-circulation of linear DNA.Definition of T4 Ligase activity2 different definitions of T4 Ligase activities are used!One Weiss unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1 nmol of 32P-labeled inorganic pyrophosphate into Norit adsorbable material in 20 minutes at 37°C, using specified reaction conditions (Weiss, B., et al., (1968) J. Biol. Chem., 243, 4543). Norit is a type of activated carbon.A Cohesive End Unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to give 50% ligation of Hind III fragments of lambda DNA (5´ DNA termini concentration of 0.12µM (300µg/mL)) in 20µL of 1X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer in 30 minutes at 16°C. The conversion factor between the two activities is: One Cohesive End Ligation units (CEL units) corresponds to 0.015 Weiss units. One Weiss unit therefore corresponds to 66.67 Cohesive End Ligation units (CEL units).
TAE buffer is used for nucleic acid electrophoresis on agarose gels under low voltage conditions. Ref.: Loening U.E. (1967) Biochem. J., 102, 251, Ogden R.C. and Adams D.A. (1987) Methods Enzymol., 152, 61. TAE buffer is the most commonly used running buffer for agarose gels. Originally, this buffer system was developed for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a slightly different composition (40mM Tris; 20mM; NaOAc; 2mM EDTA-Na2; pH7.8). For stabilizing the secondary structure of RNA, sodium acetate was included. Today, TAE is used in a modified composition (40mM Tris-acetate; 1mM EDTA-Na2; ~pH8.5). TAE has a lower buffering capacity than TBE, but double-stranded, linear DNA migratesapproximately 10% faster through TAE than TBE with the same resolution. The resolution of supercoiled DNA is better in TAE than TBE. Because of its low buffering capacitiy, it may become exhausted during long periods of time at high current. Therefore TAE should be replaced during extended electrophoresis or should be recirculated. An advantage of TAE over TBE is the absence of interactions with agarose, resulting in a higher yield of nucleic acids in preparative agarose gel electrophoresis. Usually TAE is made up as a 50X concentrated stock solution and employed in an 1X or 0,5X working concentration.

Contents of 1 pouch dissolved in deionized water and made up to 500mL/1000mL yields: 2.0M Tris acetate buffer, 0.05M EDTA, pH8.3 at 25°C. In molecular biology, TBE and TAE buffers are used for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.TBE buffer is suitable when analysing DNA fragments from PCR amplification, DNA isolation protocols, or DNA cloning experiments. It is adapted for separating smaller DNA fragments (less than 1500 bp on a 0.8% agarose gel). TAE is advantageous for high resolution of long nucleic acid fragments (longer than 1500 bp) on agarose gels. It has a lower buffering capacity than TBE and in general, nucleic acid fragments move slower in TAE gels (apart from linear dsDNA, which tends to run faster). TBE has a greater buffering capacity and will give sharper resolution than TAE. However, TBE gels in general afford a poor recovery of nucleic acids compared with TAE gels. TAE is also used for native (non-denaturing) RNA analysis and in denaturing gels (instead of MOPS buffer) using prior denaturation of the RNA samples in hot formamide. Medicago’s TBE and TAE buffers are supplied as a pre-weighed powder mix in sealed pouches giving 1000mL of 1X, 5X or 10X Tris-borate-EDTA buffer or 50X Tris-acetate-EDTA buffer with pH 8.3 at 25°C.

Since no purification method for RNA removes 100% of the DNA, it is advisable to remove DNA using DNAse I prior to any RT-PCR. A simple 15-minute digestion at room temperature reliably removes all contaminating DNA. DNase I is inactivated by adding the stop solution (1µL of a 50mM EDTA solution to 10µL of the DNA digest solution) and subsequent heating. Since heat also denatures RNA, the batch can then be used immediately for reverse transcription. Our RNase-free DNAse I is a recombinantly derived DNase I. Therefore, there are no problems with possible traces of animal origin.

The enzyme Lysozyme (Muramidase) affects the cell walls of bacteria. Thereby the extraction efficiency of proteins or nucleic acids is significantly improved. Genaxxon Lysozyme from chicken egg is available as lyophilized powder. Lysozyme preferentially hydrolyses the β-1,4-glycosidic binding between N-Acetyl muraminic acid and N-Acetyl glucosamine, a component of the proteoglycan-cell wall of certain microorganisms. The enzyme is present in many organisms. In molecular biology, the enzyme from chicken white egg is used to lyse E. coli for the isolation of plasmid-DNA. The lysis of E.coli is improved by the combined addition of both lysozyme and and a nuclease such as DNase I (M3028) >. The working concentration is 200-300 μg/µL. To increase the plasmid yield (approx. 5-10%), lysozyme may be added. Another application is the lysis of bacteria for the preparation of bacterial RNA. In this case the working concentration is 40μg/mL (stock solution 50mg/mL). Lysozyme from chicken egg is most effective for the lysis of gram-positive bacteria. Besides this, it facilitates the lysis of gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella and Shigella. Lyophilized, white powder Enzyme for lysis of bacterial cell walls Improvement of protein purification from inclusion bodies Activity: min. 20.000 U/mg (pH: 6.25) Lysozyme will be inhibited by surfactants like SDS (M3292) > or alcohols and fatty acids, Imidazole (M6033) > and Indol-derivatives. Stability: The lyophilized powder of lysozyme is stable for many years at +2°C to +8°C. In solution, the stability at pH values from 4 to 5 at +2°C to +8°C is several weeks and at room temperature several days. pH-optimum is at 9.2, the isoelectric point at 11.0.

Contents of 1 pouch dissolved in deionized water and made up to 1000mL yields: 0.445M Tris-borate, 0.01M EDTA, pH8.3 at 25°C. In molecular biology, TBE and TAE buffers are used for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. TBE buffer is suitable when analysing DNA fragments from PCR amplification, DNA isolation protocols, or DNA cloning experiments. It is adapted for separating smaller DNA fragments (less than 1500 bp on a 0.8% agarose gel). TAE is advantageous for high resolution of long nucleic acid fragments (longer than 1500 bp) on agarose gels. It has a lower buffering capacity than TBE and in general, nucleic acid fragments move slower in TAE gels (apart from linear dsDNA, which tends to run faster). TBE has a greater buffering capacity and will give sharper resolution than TAE. However, TBE gels in general afford a poor recovery of nucleic acids compared with TAE gels. TAE is also used for native (non-denaturing) RNA analysis and in denaturing gels (instead of MOPS buffer) using prior denaturation of the RNA samples in hot formamide. Medicago’s TBE and TAE buffers are supplied as a pre-weighed powder mix in sealed pouches giving 1000mL of 1X, 5X or 10X Tris-borate-EDTA buffer or 50X Tris-acetate-EDTA buffer with pH 8.3 at 25°C.
