The sample should avoid repeated freezing and thawing, otherwise it will affect the yield and quality of RNA extraction. The sample can be stored in Buffer RL at -70 ℃ for one month.3. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in the Buffer RL. It can be dissolved again in a 56 ℃ water bath. Please add Buffer RL before use β- Mercaptoethanol, with a final concentration of 1%. Add 10 to 1 ml Buffer RL µ L β- Mercaptoethanol. join β- The buffer RL room temperature of mercaptoethanol can be stored for one month.4. Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.5. This reagent kit cannot be used for RNA extraction from frozen blood samples with anticoagulants added.6.10 × Buffer RBL needs to be diluted 10 times with water without RNase before use, and then stored at 2-8 ℃ after dilution.7. If downstream experiments are highly sensitive to DNA, it is recommended to treat RNA with DNase I that does not contain RNase.8. All centrifugation steps should be carried out at room temperature unless otherwise specified, and all operation steps should be carried out quickly.Operation steps1. Add 5 times the volume of 1 x Buffer RBL to fresh anticoagulant whole blood samples of 0.5-1.5 ml (please dilute 10 x Buffer RBL with RNase free water before use), gently vortex or invert and mix well. Incubate on ice for 10-15 minutes, mix twice during the incubation process.Attention: During the incubation process, the cloudy suspension will become transparent, indicating that red blood cells have been lysed. If necessary, the incubation time can be extended to 20 minutes. 2. Centrifuge at 4 ℃, 2100 rpm (~400 × g) for 10 minutes, and carefully discard the supernatant.3. Add 2 times the volume of the blood sample to the above precipitate with 1 x Buffer RBL (please dilute 10 x Buffer RBL with RNase free water before use), gently vortex, and resuspend the precipitate thoroughly. 4. Centrifuge at 4 ℃ and 2100 rpm for 10 minutes, carefully and thoroughly remove the supernatant.Note: This step must completely remove the supernatant, otherwise it will affect the lysis and lead to a decrease in RNA production.5. Add Buffer RL to the precipitate (check if it has been added before use β- Mercaptoethanol, 0.5-1.5 ml of blood sample added to 600 µ L Buffer RL, or less than 0.5 ml of blood sample added to 350 µ L Buffer RL, mix well.6. Transfer the obtained liquid to the spin columns FL that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 2 minutes, collect the filtrate, and discard the filter column.7. Add 1 volume (600) to the obtained filtrate µ L or 350 µ l) Mix 70% ethanol (prepared without RNase water) well.Attention: Adding ethanol may cause precipitation and will not affect subsequent experiments.8. Add all the solution obtained in the previous step to the spin columns RM that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred in multiple batches. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.9. Add 700 to the adsorption column µ Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 seconds, discard the waste liquid from the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Optional steps: If conducting RNA experiments that are highly sensitive to trace amounts of DNA, replace step 9 with the following steps.1) Add 350 to the adsorption column µ Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 seconds, discard the waste liquid from the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.2) Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 70 µ Reaction Buffer and 10 µ L DNase I storage solution, gently mix and prepare to a final volume of 80 µ The reaction solution of L.Attention: The above system is configured according to our company's DNase I (D665537) reaction system.

Add 500 to the adsorption column µ Buffer RW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.11. Repeat step 10. 12. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).13. Place the adsorption column in a new RNase free centrifuge tube and add 30-50 to the middle of the adsorption column µ Place RNase Free Water at room temperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect RNA solution, and store RNA at -70 ℃ to prevent degradation.Attention:1) The volume of RNase Free Water should not be less than 30 µ l. Small volume affects the recovery rate.2) If you want to increase RNA production, you can use 30-50 µ Repeat step 13 for the new RNase Free Water.3) If you want to increase the RNA concentration, you can add the obtained solution back to the adsorption column and repeat step 13...

This kit contains Calcein-AM and Propidium Iodide (PI) solutions, which stains viable and dead cells, respectively(Fig. 1). Calcein-AM, an acetoxymethyl ester of calcein, is highly Calcein AM /PI Double Staining Kitis utilized for simultaneous fluorescence staining of viable and dead cells. This kit contains Calcein-AM and Propidium Iodide (PI) solutions, which stains viable and dead cells, respectively(Fig. 1). Calcein-AM, an acetoxymethyl ester of calcein, is highly lipophilic and cell membrane permeable. Though Calcein-AM itself is not a fluorescent molecule, the calcein generated from Calcein-AM by esterase in a viable cell emits a strong green fluorescence (excitationat 490 nm, emission at515 nm). Therefore, Calcein-AM only stains viable cells. On the other hand, PI, a nuclei staining dye, cannot pass through a viable cell membrane. It reaches the nucleus by passing through disordered areas of dead cell membrane, and intercalates with the DNA double helix of the cell to emit red fluorescence (excitation: 535 nm,emmision: 617 nm). Since both calcein and PI-DNA can be excited with 490 nm, simultaneous monitoring of viable and dead cells is possible with a fluorescence microscope. With 545 nm excitation, only dead cells can be observed (Fig. 1). Since optimal staining conditions differ from cell line to cell line, we recommend that a suitable concentration of PI and Calcein-AM be individually determined. Please note that PI is suspected to be highly carcinogenic;careful handling is required.Required Equipment and Materials:Microscope with 490 nm excitation filter and 530 nm emission filter；CO2incubator；10 µl and 200 µl adjustable pipettes, PBSSolution A (Calcein-AM)；Solution B (PI) Storage Condition: -20oC ；Shipping Condition: blue ice.Application:Assay Procedure1)Add 2.5 µl Solution A and 12.5 µl Solution B to 5 ml PBS to prepare assay solution.*2)Wash the cell with PBS several times to remove residual esterase activity.3)Add 100uLof assay solution to200uL105~106CELLSsolution and incubate the mixture at 37oC for 15 min.4)Detect fluorescence using a fluorescence mircoscope with 490 nm excitationfor simultaneous monitoring of viable and dead cells.With 545 nm excitation, only dead cells can be observed.*The following steps may be necessary tooptimizethe suitable concentration of each reagent:1)Prepare dead cells by 10 min incubation in 0.1% saponin or 0.1-0.5% digitonin or by 30 min incubation in 70% ethanol.2)Stain dead cells with 0.1-10 µM PI solution to find a PI concentration that stains the nucleus only, not the cytosol.3)Stain dead cells with 0.1-10 µM Calcein-AM solution to find a Calcein-AM concentration that does not stain the cytosol.
