Does anybody know the effect of aluminium hydroxide (which is bound to the antigen) on protein extraction and/or protein separation on PAGE?

There should be lots of proteins in the vaccine (in oil adjuvent) as we can observe millions of cells with Gram Stain; however, only a few protein bands showing up on Western Blot. Could...

Built on Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) paramagnetic bead-based technology, the Agencourt DNAdvance kit

Kait Stone

Thank you, but it appears this kit is for tissues and not feces or soil.

Danielle Dillon

Hi Kait!

My lab used a kit from ABI's MagMax series to extract DNA and RNA from cloacal swabs. The website says that feces and soil is one of the many sample types that their kits can take.

Good luck!

Thank you Danielle, we'll give it a try.
