General description
Intended Use
The BacterialXpress nucleic acid extraction kit is intended for the purification of bacterial DNA from plasma, serum, cerebral spinal fluid, amniotic fluid, tissue, bone marrow, and cell culture. The BacterialXpress kit provides a rapid method for the extraction and purification of amplification-competent nucleic acids; however, the kit does not separate DNA from RNA. The BacterialXpress nucleic acid extraction kit can be used for the extraction and purification of a broad range of bacterial DNA from a variety of sources. However, performance cannot be guaranteed for all bacteria from all sources.
FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY; not for use in diagnostic procedures.

50 Extractions
Components
Bacterial DNA Extraction reagent - (Part No. 5539) - (1 bottle, 11.0 mL).
Storage and Stability
BacterialXpress references a 2-8°C storage temperature, however, the product can also be stored at room temperature upon arrival. Product is stable up to the expiration date printed on the kit label at 2-8°C or at room temperature. Reagent will crystallize upon storage at 2-8°C and should be re-dissolved with gentle warming at 37° C before use.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
The BacterialXpress nucleic acid extraction reagent removes endogenous nucleases. Certified nuclease-free plasticware should be used whenever possible and work surfaces should be cleaned frequently with a diluted bleach solution to reduce the possibility for nuclease contamination.
Proper aseptic technique should be used when working with potentially infectious material. The BacterialXpress reagent contains a chaotropic salt, which is an irritant and is not compatible with disinfecting agents that contain bleach.
Dispose chaotropic salt containing solutions and plasticware according to your institutions waste-disposal guidelines.
The BacterialXpress reagent contains chaotropic salts, which may irritate the skin and damage clothing. As with any extraction procedure, use gloves, a laboratory coat and safety goggles. Avoid breathing vapors. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with a large amount of saline or water for at least 15 minutes.
DO NOT ALLOW THE EXTRACTION REAGENT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH BLEACH.
