Proteinase K is a highly active serine protease (MW 28,500 Da) isolated from the fungus Tritirachium album. The enzyme exhibits broad cleavage specificity on native and denatured proteins and is widely used in the purification of native RNA and DNA from tissues or cell lines. Because the solution is tested for the absence of RNases and DNases, it is ideal for isolating PCR and RT-PCR templates. The activity of Proteinase K is increased in the presence of denaturants such as SDS (1%) and elevated temperature (50-60°C). The recommended working concentration is 50-100 μg/mL for protein removal and enzyme inactivation and up to 2 mg/mL for tissue treatment. Proteinase K products are free of detectable DNase and RNase.

TRIsure provides a simple, efficient method for the sequential isolation of total RNA, genomic DNA and proteins from a wide variety of starting materials. By combining thiocyanate compounds with phenol, TRIsure facilitates disruption of cells during homogenization and effectively inhibits DNase and RNase activity. After homogenizing the sample with TRIsure, chloroform is added and the homogenate is allowed to separate into three phases: a clear aqueous phase (upper) containing the RNA, a green colored organic phase (lower) and an interphase, containing the DNA and proteins. The RNA is extracted from the aqueous phase by isopropyl alcohol precipitation, DNA is precipitated from the organic layer with ethanol and the proteins are precipitated from the phenol-ethanol supernatant by isopropyl alcohol precipitation. The precipitated RNA, DNA, or protein is washed to remove impurities and then resuspended for use in downstream applications. TRIsure allows for highly reliable integrative analysis of the transcriptome, genome and proteome, since the RNA, DNA and proteins are derived from the same sample and the same cell population. The simplicity of the TRIsure method allows simultaneous processing of a large number of samples and can be used in a wide variety of downstream applications including expression profiling, epigenetics, genotyping, transgenic analysis and cell line characterization.

Product Highlights Excellent clarity - enhances visualization, even at high concentrations Strong gels at low concentration - better handling, less breakage DNase/RNase-free - for all nucleic acid separation Product Description Extremely pure, high molecular biology grade Agarose from Bioline has no detectable DNase or RNase activity and forms strong gels with low backgrounds. Due to its low EEO, DNA will have a high electrophoretic mobility.

Product Highlights Induces E.coli lac operon activity - suitable for cloning and protein expression procedures Dioxane free - does not disrupt normal cell function >99.6% purity - confirmed by HPLC Convenient - available as powder and stabilized stock solution Product Description Isopropyl-ß-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is a chemical analogue of galactose, which cannot be hydrolyzed by the enzyme ß--Galactosidase. Hence, it induces the E. coli lac operon activity by binding and inhibiting the lac repressor without being degraded. Genes controlled by the lac or tac promotor/operator sequences are expressed to high levels in the presence of IPTG. IPTG is part of the Bioline Essentials range of products, which includes agaroses, buffers, PCR water and enhancers, antibiotic solutions, cloning reagents and protein digestion reagents.

The Tetro cDNA Synthesis Kit contains our highly sensitive MMLV reverse transcriptase, oligo (dT)18 and random hexamer primers and all the necessary components to generate high quality cDNA from RNA templates (fig. 1). The first-strand cDNA generated is ideal for PCR (fig. 2) and can be used in a variety of other applications, such as analyses of cellular RNAs, characterization of RNA splice variants and the generation and cloning of cDNA.  The Tetro cDNA Synthesis Kit is optimized for RT reactions over a wide range of total RNA concentrations (10 pg-2 μg), such that long and low-abundance cDNAs can be detected by amplification after cDNA synthesis. The kit contains oligo (dT)18 and random hexamer primers. The kit components are fully optimized to generate maximum yields of full-length cDNA.

Tetro Reverse Transcriptase is a Moloney Murine Leukaemia Virus (MMLV) Reverse Transcriptase, which exhibits high stability, with no loss of activity following 1 week at room temperature. Tetro Reverse Transcriptase is highly sensitive even when the amount of template is a limiting factor (fig. 1), with highly efficient and sensitive transcription, from as little as 10 pg, up to 2 μg of RNA (fig. 2). Many RNA transcripts form stable secondary structures at lower temperatures, making them less suitable as templates for RT-PCR at those temperatures. Tetro Reverse Transcriptase is suitable for first-strand cDNA synthesis, with total RNA, mRNA and in vitro transcribed RNA and shows excellent performance with gene-specific primers, Oligo (dT) as well as random hexamers, making it perfect for cDNA library construction and the production of templates for RT-PCR analysis of gene expression.
